Hi!
I'm hoping someone can recommend the best way of fixing a leak on the flexible connector shown in the photo. This is an old '60s house and the fittings on the photo were in place when we bought it so I have no idea how old they are. I'm also struggling to work out how many pieces of fitting there are!
The leak is on the underside of the flexible "concertina" section and it has a hairline split so it's pretty nasty.
I'm trying to work out what I need to replace and what I need to replace it with. The connector, obviously, but I don't know what the large black rubber pipe with the two jubilee clips on it attached to the soil pipe is doing and if I'll need to replace it too, or if I will also need to replace the elbow connecting to the toilet.
Any advice/suggestions much appreciated.
The dimensions (roughly) are soil pipe in wall just under 95mm, external dimension of flexible connector 120mm, toilet outlet somewhere betwee 95-100mm
