    rat ate through a soil vent pipe

    Any advice to repair not replace... please! It's obviously in the tightest space and in the smelliest tiny room. As in RIP ratty. It's also on the joint of a 100"-90" reducer! Was thinking fibreglass wrap?

    Why different forces are needed for 110 mm soil pipe fittings?

    Do you know why some 110 mm soil pipe fittings are easy to push into the soil pipe, whilst other fittings are much, much harder to get in, given that they all need to do the same job of making a gas tight and water tight seal? Recently I found that I could easily push into the soil pipe the end...

    Upstairs Toilet Draining into ground floor soil stack.

    I'm looking to connect an upstairs toilet into an existing ground floor soil stack. Is the solution I've drawn out possible or does the soil stack vent need to be above the connecting appliance still? Red is the proposed new pipework and brown the existing. Let me know any questions.

    We've just had a new toilet installed and the new toilet's waste pipe is lower than the cast iron soil pipe. My installer has used a flexi pipe to connect the toilet waste upwards to the soil pipe. Am I right to be concerned about the upwards connection, and the use of a flexi pipe? The cast...

    Soil pipe inlet too high for toilet pan

    I'm replacing a toilet pan & the current install has a pan connected to the soil pipe with a flexi wate, but the pan exit is almost 100% lower than the soil pipe entry. Short of setting the pan on plinth, what would be the correct install?

    Soil pipe through tile hung wall

    I need to take a soil pipe through a vertical tile hung gable wall at my own house, does anyone know the best way of sealing it and making a good job of cutting the tiles? I wonder if there is a flashing of some sort on the market that might fit? Has anyone had to do this, if so what did you do?
