Are you able to solvent weld the spigot end of a ring seal soil pipe?

[mutley racers]

Hey chaps, I need to connect into a tee of a terrain soil stack and am wondering if this iw possible with the floplast soil fittings you get in plumbfix. Another query, the soil pipe cross sections you get, where can you use them as I am a bit short of space and need to install 2 wc's. And this would make life easy but the regs state they have to entet stack 200mm from centre to centre. So, what is this cross piece for?

Cheers fellers. I hope you understand what I am talking about

 

[chris watkins]

Not sure what you are asking ? are you talking about a cross branch ie two 110 connection into one stack directly opposite each other ? if so they can be used in the vertical only.
What material is the Flo-plast made from if it is uPVC then it can be solvent welded.

 

[Ray Stafford]

If its on show, then the colours will be very different. Terrain grey is several shades different and much glossier than the floplast colour.

Why not just use polypipe system 2000?

 

[mutley racers]

Its not on show. And it is on a vertical rise. I shall post pictures later. Polypipe 2000, I shall have to look that one up. Chat later guy's. Cheers

This is the space I have. I need to install toilets either side of that branch there. Am not sure if I have space for another branch and a elbow. So was wondering if I could use a cross section. But won't if I can help it as they cost.

Oh yes, I need to look up polypipe s2000

I found lots of strange things on this job. None of the old 1 1/2 inch waste pipe was glued. As soon as I touhed it it fell apart. I cannot believe it never leaked. Also, I found a swept 1 1/4 inch tee going into a 1 1/2 connector on branch. And two 1 1/2 waste pipes connected to th other ends. I hope this makes sense

if yo cant glue it why not use a 4 inch fernco rubber coupling

Wash your mouth out with soap Steven !!!! & go & stand in the corner !!!

chris whats wrong with fernco rubber couplings? i used one the other day for the first time. are they not so good? can i expect a call back? haha
actually it wasnt a coupling it was a reducer (clay to plastic)

That is what they were developed for & IMHO that is where they belong - underground & surrounded with concrete - bloody rubber & jubilee clips.
signed old fart.

Move with the times chris im doing new builds at the moment and they use ferncos to joint the internal rwps

At least its only rainwater.

 

[TBServices]

And we all know how much consideration goes into the quality of new builds!

I'm with Chris, they're a problem waiting to happen.

 

[Reg Man]

Worm drive clips and a tube of rubber? yer, answer to all plumbing problems? Never worked in the past never work for the future. Thats my personal view point.

 

[dancinplumba]

my god !!! is there such a thing as PLASTIC pipe !!!

 

[chris watkins]

Never !!! (not on this one). What is the world coming to ferncos on new build. :shame:

 

[Reg Man]

Whats the point when you can just do the job properly.

 

[lame plumber]

just another way to introduce a lip to block your soil pipe!

 

[mutley racers]

God evening fellers. Hope you're all having a good night. I am back at the nursery this week and am still struggling to figure out a way to connect two toilets into the grey branch. One on the left and one on the right. I thought I might have been able to use a swept tea and an elbow but as you can see from the pics below there is not enough room. So can you get short branches? Ones without boss connections in. I don't really fancy having to take the concealed stack apart to conbect into it. I am already losing money on this job

Can you not use a 4 way?

 

[TBServices]

Can you not use a 4 way?

I could use a 4 way about now.

 

[mutley racers]

A 4 way hey. Never seen one. Must be expensive. Would be good though as it gives me access for rodding. Where will I find one of these mate
