lead w.c. waste

[REDSAW]

just priced up a job to replace a w.c l/l system and some other work.

the outlet is lead at ground level (on floor boards runs 10'' on floor).exiting with 90 elbow 2' into stack.

i forgot to measure the width of the pipe in w.c and think its 3 1/2''.
does this sound right, as i need to get the stuff before i go to fit as the location is miles from merchant and being tight i dont want to buy more than one fitting in stock.

secondly, i am thinking of using a jollyflex by pulling the lead pipe up slightly from the floor for collar clearance to save costs on renewing the soil pipe to stack.

anyone have opinion, details and a link for the jollies. and do they do 3/ or 3 1/2''

thanx.

I do have an opinion but it's not a sensible one!! Rather you than me with this job - best of British!!

not too sure about the one from toolstation , I bought one from local merchants a while ago specifically for a 3 and a half inch which you can cut some of the fins off to fit as you see fit worked a treat into old cast iron.

I always use the Mac Alpine ones although they are a bit less flexible. For Lead usually 3 1/2 inch and cut away as much lead as I can, if tight just get a hammer and gently boss the lead out to the right size works every time.

Redsaw here is a McAlpine link. Would not use anything else, personal thing i suppose.

The flexi's can be cut if too long by pulling the collar off the front cutting then refitting the collar.
