HOW MUCH! Is that including all taxes and next day delivery?You can chose different pan connectors which are not cheap Geberit 241.525.00.1 PE-Anschlussbogen 90° für Wand-WC ausziehbar Drm. 110/90
Including vat but 5.99 for postageHOW MUCH! Is that including all taxes and next day delivery?
You don’t need thatAnd import duty?
Whats wrong with a brown connector, it is the same ID does not leak and was in the back of one of the vans ?I'd be more concerned about, what appears to be, an underground drainage fitting that the pan connector is connected to, or is that temporary too?
Cranberry Sauce with my chicken roast dinner yum yumRob been on the sauce again?
The plastic used for underground fittings & pipe does not have the same chemical make up as the above ground fittings & pipe, it does not have the same level of protection against the elements, especially UV protection from the sun. It breaks down much quicker than above ground drainage fittings, this is why it is much cheaper, and should not be used for above ground. Mind you, I suppose if the fitting in question will be cemented into the wall, it might be okay, but I for one, would certainly not recommend it.Whats wrong with a brown connector, it is the same ID does not leak and was in the back of one of the vans ?

Exactly it will be totally enclosed within the cavity wallThe plastic used for underground fittings & pipe does not have the same chemical make up as the above ground fittings & pipe, it does not have the same level of protection against the elements, especially UV protection from the sun.

I would check with the manufacturer regarding it's suitability for being in contact with mortar, as that might effect the underground fittings, although I am not sure myself, because we have never get involved in underground drainage work.Exactly it will be totally enclosed within the cavity wall
and its all fitted, checked for leaks at high volume and done, there was never any question of price it was in one of the vans so I used it...thanks for the info....being honest as we live near the coast the scour of wind blown sand wears away grey and black pipe much more quickly than the brown colour ...and as it has a rough finish it is easy to repaint than the shiny black stuff...just my observations
