Push fit or solvent weld soil pipe?

[chrisc90]

Hi all

Quick question.

We went to move our soil pipe through 90* so we can move the toilet. We are just a little unsure how we can move the existing pipework.

I’ve attached a couple photos of our existing one.

Can anyone confirm whether this is a simple push fit connection or whether it’s a solvent weld type?

I’m thinking from photos, it appears push fit. If it is, is it just a case of spraying down the join with some lubricant/silicone spray and rotating it round?

Thanks

The branch is push fit.
Looks like someone filled the redundant boss with sillycon.
Might want to change that as well.

Ahh awesome. At least it should move.

Just a case of filling the join with some wd40 or silicone lube and tweaking it round?

I presume that redundant boss, is the one up the top with the yellow-y stuff hanging out of it?

Tbh a decent grip should move it no lube but if you want washing up liquid is best

Yes, getting lube on the outside will only make it harder (to move!)
