I have a pipe underground for rain water which did go into a soakaway.

I need to reroute this a a conservatory is going where it was.

The pipe is about 110mm also and has a good bit to join onto.

I did buy a clay to upvc coupling (with jubilee clips) but unfortunately all the ones I found convert 110mm to between 120mm to 130mm.

I cannot find anything that is a straight 110mm to 110mm.

Any idea's? Only alternative is to break up the patio and take it right back to the drain pipe but I would rather not! :)

Thanks,

I ideally wanted something with Jubilee clips and one that was flexible as it won't be going 100% straight, but I will give one of those a go and see what happens. I see wickes do them too.

Thanks

It's a clay pipe ? Caution on how much pressure you put it under mind... Brittle is an understatement. :/
 
Yes it is, if it breaks I will just take it back to the drainpipe and start from scratch, it's only about 1 meter of it left but I was trying to save some work for now :)

I will try the push fit type first and see. It'll go down hill a little way so if it doesn't fit tightly it's not the end of the world. I just does want it to end up pouring into my new foundations and sitting round the walls :)
 
Agreed, sensible option.

And It's easier when you haven't got 5 mtrs to worry about! :/ phew****
 
Rubber connectors with jubilee clips are available in lots of different sizes to join almost any pipe to another. Your local builders merchant should have a suitable size.

I wouldn't try to bend the rubber connector, id put a small straight piece in then add a plastic push on bend if it needs one
