How To Fit A Strap On Soil Pipe Boss Solvent Weld

[@tonypalmer4039]

Excellent Dan. It put me on the right road to finish the job!

Glad it helped

I was going to install a proper boss to our downstairs loo as the old washing machine waste pipe was just bodged into the back of the flexible pan connector with all that horrible brown gunky tape on it but because we have ripped it out anyways and we will be replacing the toilet drains underground as they kept blocking up with sewage every time it was used, so to be safe than sorry I have run the new washing machine waste to the gully outside in solvent weld instead. Still a very good demonstration though and I’ll consider trying this next time round I want to install some more pipe work for new facilities

No bI j.

Thanks for the video. Is it safe to assume that all 110 mm soil pipe is solvent weldable? I would hate to drill a hole and find out that it isn’t! :-/

[@zedman442]

Nice. Mckalpine do a compression type one that clamps from the internal. They are pretty good.

[@PlumbingGy]

Zed Man I haven't seen those, IL keep a lookout 💪🏻

[@deepakkunwar736]

They are good for cast iron soil pipe but i don't think they are good for pvc as plastic pipe is quite thinner than cast iron to catch the mcalpine rubber washer.

hi great vid. what would you do different if you were connecting push fit? Many thanks

[@PlumbingGy]

You wouldn't use glue 👌🏻

[@headgieslife4177]

Can you do a 4in into a 4 in pipe or does it always need to be a smaller size?

[@PlumbingGy]

4inch would be too much

Hi Dan. Can you use silicone sealant instead of the adhesive? I have just 1 to replace and have some freshly opened sealant but would have to buy the adhesive just for this one small job?

[@PlumbingGy]

Hi Neil, I do know quite a few plumbers that do use silicone...... However I have been on a job many years ago where a plumber used silicone and it ended up leaking all over the kitchen floor. So on that note I never will use silicone and would recommend buying a tin of cement. Hope this helps Neil many thanks mate!

[@neilatkinson7259]

Thanks for the quick reply mate and sound advice!

[@uh7699]

If I have a standard push fit soil pipe can I use a solvent weld boss connection (will they stick)?

[@PlumbingGy]

As long as you do not use it on a connection point it will be OK

[@uh7699]

Thanks!

[@goldieos]

hi dan how far down on a soil stack can i install it for a shower unit I need to install it close to the floor is this possible

[@PlumbingGy]

Hi there, not quite sure how it falls but it shouldn't matter as long as you have the fall required from the shower over the correct distance. As low as possible 👍🏻

[@goldieos]

@@PlumbingGy thank you dan

[@ray_han_ls]

[@thatfemalewhojudges5361]

[@smalik695]

[@MMG_MoonManGuitar]

[@fablan3308]

Why does it matter which way it go the rubber

[@petersutton3054]

Bish-bash Bodge!!

[@alanwillis1179]

Can you put a strap-on boss under the floor screed?

[@PlumbingGy]

As far as I'm aware it should be fine however a base of 100mm I'd recommend and also to test prior to screeding, then cover in a poly membrane to protect the plastic from the cement
