Recommend adhesive for drain pipe please

[S1966W]

I know this is a bodge but the previously 'glued' repair has held for 12 years. This was originally installed by a large gas company when installing a new boiler, it is the condensate drain pipe which is connected via the elbow to the kitchen sink waste pipe (below floor):




Yes, it was just glued in. Apparently the drain pipe with OD of 56mm is not the best to obtain fittings for and thus the original installers plumped for the easy option!!

Unfortunately due to a blockage further up the drain pipe this elbow became detached from it's penetration when the washing machine started the drain cycle. I imagine the pressure in the blocked drain pipe became too much and the elbow was the weak point.

Anyhow, this is located in a pretty inaccessible place within a dwarf floor. I can get to it but I'm fairly slim.

Thus until I can sort a more professional fix, what would be the best option? My current thinking is Araldite quick epoxy, or would something like Evo Stik pipe weld adhesive or a proprietary solvent cement be better. It is low pressure drainage pipework (until it gets blocked!)

Thanks for any advice, Simon

Silicon plenty of it and after Soapy water to smooth off

I did think of silicon initially but do you think it would have the same bond strength as, say, Araldite?

It’s only temporary so will be fine also easier to clean off

That looks the business although it appears to be for fitting to a 110mm soil pipe, as opposed to the 56mm pipe in question. Also, to gain good access for cutting the correct penetration shaped hole would require dismantling the kitchen sink unit and pulling up some kitchen floorboards / cutting another manhole..........the wife would not be amused.

Anyhow, thanks for the suggestion. I've recently received 2 pieces 'flexseal PC56' sleeve couplings and my intention is to cut out a section of the pipe to try and locate the blockage. Sounds like a good plan!!






I hope this works else I'm up s*$t creek!! Just waiting for the sani-snake to arrive, some extra couplings and some glue.

Apologies for the poor editing above, too many bloody ads obscure the forum (and I did pay a subscription)
