    90 degree bend in polybutylene pipe within elbow

    This is exactly what I need. I knew I'd seen these somewhere before but wasn't sure they were for 15mm pipes. Thanks again. Tony.

    90 degree bend in polybutylene pipe within elbow

    Thanks for that reply trying. I didn't mention that the pipe in question is a 15mm water supply pipe. Is it still possible to weld the joint? No, it's not really possible to create an access panel. It runs behind a short run of floor standing built-in cabinets. It might be possible to access it...

    90 degree bend in polybutylene pipe within elbow

    Hi all, I was just wondering if anyone knows of a way to form a 90 degree bend in a polybutylene pipe without using an elbow connector. The pipe runs in a floor void and will be hard to access once installed, so I wanted to eliminate a potential leak source if at all possible. I vaguely...

    How to form offset bend using Marley 110mm soil

    Hi all, Does anyone know which products from the Marley 110mm soil range to use to form an offset bend to go around the eaves of a house? They produce an Offset Bend which I take it is used for the top (see link below), but what about the bottom of the bend?: Catalogue - Marley Plumbing &...

    Expansion Joints in Waste Water

    Thanks for all the advise you've all given to this question, it's certainly helped me towards the decision to use all solvent weld fittings. Moving this topic on to soil pipes if I may, if I'm installing a short run (approx. 3m) in a floor void, I'm guessing that you would all have the same...

    Expansion Joints in Waste Water

    Hi, A bit of advice really from those in the 'know'. When fitting waste water pipes (32mm/40mm/50mm), if you're using solvent jointed connections is there a requirement for expansion in the pipework? Should a push-fit connection be fitted every x metres to allow the system to expand and...

    Air testing soil stack

    Hi all, I'm thinking of renewing the old cast iron soil stack on our house when carrying out renovations in our bathroom (which involves moving the positions of the sanitaryware so it's quite extensive). I read that all new soil stack installations should be air tested using a 'U' gauge in...

    Removing cast iron soil pipe

    Hi all, I plan to replace the cast iron soil pipe on the outside of my house with plastic, but I was wondering if it's a job that's feasible from ladders or am I realistically looking at hiring scaffolding? Thanks in advance.
