Black soil

[smhstu]

Hi all
anyone had any experience of black bitumen soil stacks.
come across a stack thought it was asbestos but it isn't apparently it's black bitumen. It's leaking so I need to repair it and put some bosses on it. Can it be cut out and converted to plastic?

cheers all

Hacksaw/grinders/ricp saw and jubilee collar adaptor?

Cut it out and use a flexible seal

Thought of that but will it not warp when tightened

As long as you dont over tighten it should be fine
