Need to change a hopper and down-pipe for a customer that are falling to bits. Not done this before but looks pretty straightforward - famous last words.
Checked online sizes and prices. I'm guessing it's soil pipe rather than rainwater downpipe? It's for 3 waste pipes to terminate in as they pass out of the first floor wall. Probably 3 metres up at a guess.
I'm also guessing it's 110mm (as long as that is diameter) since my open hand wrapped round just over half of it's circumference when I touched it. And the hoppers seem to only come in one size I think?
So...
1) Do these sound like the right sort of observations and most likely what I want to install?
2) How does the down pipe connect to the hopper..what do I need to connect it? Something separate? Any sealant or solvent weld/compression anything?
3) He said where it passes under the decking it just goes into the drain..Would I need a connector down there ?
4) Anything else I should know or be wary of?
Muchos gracias..
