Hi
What kind if elbow soil pipe fitting is this?
Is it push fit rubber O ring or some kind of solvent weld?
I want to know if it is demountable without causing damage to the vertical soil pipe fitting
Installed in 1966.

with the small half round raised ridge towards the end of the fitting would suggest this is where the o ring is seated on the inside suggesting push fit ?

Exactly what made me suspect maybe it could be a possibility however most people in the know seem to think it is solvent.

I'd say it's solvent !

the first ring from the end is too small and the other is too near the full socket

Unless I`m going bonkers there are 2 threads running on this by the same OP, and others have said solvent weld.
 
I'd say it's an m & f solvent 90 bend into a pushfit tee

EDIT
just looked again and it could be a push fit m & f, with the O ring housing on the bend being just inside the plasterboard

I posted it in the Sanitary Ware forum also because I had thought I made a mistake by posting it in this forum as I wasn't getting any response initially. Sorry about the confusion.
