Okay so where to start….
The attached picture shows my starting point, i am replacing the piping for my bathroom suite (which is also getting replaced) however i am struggling to connect to the cast iron soil pipe.
I asked elsewhere for advice and was advised to get 40mm (upper) and 32mm (lower) rubber boss connectors for the upper and lower connections which seemed to make sense however after purchasing i realised that these are no good they are bigger than the openings also. I also can’t seem to simply fit the replacement pvc pipes directly in as they are too large.
The original pipe outer diameters are:
Upper pipe (sink waste) : 40.7mm
Lower pipe (bath waste) : 34.5mm
New pvc sealant pipe:
Upper pipe (sink waste) : 43mm
Lower pipe (bath waste) : 36mm
I am now stuck with what to do.
I also ordered a mcalpine macfit mac-1 for the toilet wast connection however this seems just too big and i’m not sure a mac-3 will be big enough.
I should also say i have pulled all of the current piping shown in the image out. All that is left is the main cast iron soil pipe.
