What we all working on this week ?

[king of pipes]

I have a insurance job to try and rescue a poorly installed quad shower the customer wants to save the tiling if possible and has a few spare so fingers crossed it may work , the loss adjuster allowed em £1500 that will just about cover materials. Kop

Carrying on the new wet room, but had to call back to an outside oil combi I fitted. Its losing pressure and it's my fault because the last boiler always held pressure.

I've been up before, over pressured checked all the boiler and all my new pipework. All dry.

So went up tonight, ripped open the wall below where my pipes come in. Bone dry.

But the bottom of the wall behind kitchen sink is wet.

Leak sealer going in hopefully get through to warmer months then kitchen wall to come out to find it. Kerching.

Anyone know what to use to seal around where an angled pan connector goes into the floor but the waste is 6” in diameter? About an inch all the way around? Not done one before

 

[SimonG]

Dont know if something like this would fit.

May do. But if I remember correctly they are a bit rigid.

Quickset cement any good?

Possibly but how do I stop it just falling straight through? Or is there a lip on the six inch?

Piece of 4" in the hole and then a bead of foam and once set cement it in?

If it’s the type I’m thinking there’s a lip yes. Is it 6” outlet pan connector? Any photo?

 

[Harvest Fields]

Yes mate. Here you go.

 

[Aquarius]

Yes mate. Here you go.

Yes mate, type I’m thinking of, so you should be able to fill the gap with slithers of cement, and then final trowel off smooth. Use of expanding foam may fracture the pipe?

 

[Harvest Fields]

Will collect one from screwfix in the morning. Could do With another option also incase it is too big?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

the snug I don’t think it will work for your situation As I don’t think you will get it over the fitting

Looks like a 4” street elbow but you never know.
