Hi,
First, I'm not a professional plumber.
I'm moving a wc and sink in my bathroom, which are connected into a 110mm plastic soil pile outside the late victorian building. As the new wc is half the distance from the soil pipe than the old wc, it needs to go into the soil pipe slightly higher than before, keeping the same fall. So I need to put the connection in a little higher on the soil pipe which means making the soil pipe section from the old wc connector into the ground slightly longer. However the lower end of the soil pipe is cemented into the ground, so I am wondering can I just cut the soil pipe lower down and join on a slightly longer piece rather than dig up the concrete at the bottom of the soil pipe. My questions are; Are joins acceptable in soil pipes ? How tolerant are pushfit connectors if the new wc soil pipe came into the soil stack at a sharper angle ?
Thanks
