Now a decent plumber would be able to knock you up a piece of 40mm uPVC pipe which they would have warmed up over there touch to soften & carefully pushed inside another piece of pipe to make an adaptor/reducer which you could glue into that fitting / pipe stuck in the wall, yes it would reduce the bore for a short section but it would be a S/W joint not a pushed over fitting with a bit of silicone.
Get to know the materials you work with & what can be done with it ! :arabia:

Can you not somehow get a 2 inch pipe to secure over the top of it?

Well, as the old 1.5" pipe has totally broken off, I've currently got a 50mm diameter pipe sitting over the top of the female 1.5" pipe. This all points down at about 30 degrees and goes into an open drain about 70cm away.

Even just like this, with no attempt to seal, all the water goes down the 50mm pipe. So I would hope if I can get a 50mm to 1.5" adapter I could silicon seal this on/over the 1.5" female "stub" and thus form a perfectly effective (& not untidy) replacement down pipe just as it was before!?

Now, while buying my 70cm of 50mm pipe, I was talking to the guy at the hardware store, and he recommended I go to our local garden centre where they have a pond section. He said they have all manner of strange adapters due to odd pumps/pipes. So I may even find some sort of rubber adapter I can jubilee clib (paint it all white) over the top of the 1.5" female stub etc to give me a 1.5" pipe again. Or at least a olatic 50mm->1.5" adapter which I can silicon seal on.

I just don't think I can risk trying to get the remains of that 1.5" pipe out of the female socket. I think an adapter, and fresh pipe is the best way to go...

That's basically what I think I'm heading towards, but the other way around With a 50mm pipe around the approx 49mm diameter female remains... Even unsealed with water flows down it from the 1.5" fine. So I just need to find the best adapter or means to (a) attach a 50mm pipe around the 1.5" female stub, and convert it back to a 1.5" pipe again.

omho but a botch is a botch which ever way you do it.

What about a fernco coupling ...regards turnpin

Maybe... But if it works 100%... Looks 100%... And saves me £100 (or so)... I'm fine with it...

If I can find a nice adapter (eg: 50mm->1.5" adapter) then I suspect I could just take a couple of inches off the old pipe that's broken off, attach it to to the adapter and voila. Done...

You star! That's the sort of thing! I'm hoping that's the sort of thing my garden center stocks (as they do ponds etc).

If I can find one to simply go over the outside of the female 1.5" and then onto regular 1.5" - Perfect! eg: I recon 49mm down to 43mm

Good news is, I found this on the Fernco site - http://www.fernco.com/dimensional-d...le-couplings/stock-couplings-1056/1056-150125

Spec:-
Dimension A minimum - millimeters: 44mm
Dimension A maximum - millimeters: 50mm
Dimension B minimum - millimeters: 34mm
Dimension B maximum - millimeters: 43mm

So that implies a pipe of total diameter 49 should fit in A, and a pipe of total diameter 43 should fit in B nicely!


Just paint it white and done!

Now using a Fernco in this instants really would be a bodge job (rubber & a jubilee clip) "do I spy the Indians coming though the pass fetch ma horse" I am out of here.!! :cowboy:
