FLEXIBLE SOIL PIPES

[MAGNETIXUK]

Hello all, is it possible to get the flexible toilet soil pipe in longer lengths ? I have converted the attic with an en-suite and I need the toilet waste to 'snake' around an obstacle. Ideally I would like most of the waste to be flexible, but I need at least a 2m length to get around this problem.

Flexi connectors are prone to blockages at the best of times. Extra long flexis, snaking around obstacles, and sagging between any supports........ Hmmm...... Rather you than me.....

At best it sounds slightly worse than using a macerator, and they are the devil's own invention.

If a flexi will fit along the route you propose, there's a pretty good chance rigid pipework - with appropriate rodding access points if there are a number of bends - will also fit.

The flexi will be sitting just above the floor for the first 2 metres and I should be able to fix a rigid pipe the rest of he way - where do I get an extra long flexi ?

You don't. Join a few together and make it look like a dogs dinner.

Afraid not, but you could give the company a bell tomorrow...

I would look at tickly's post and think about putting a flexi in shi*t stops on ridges

I used one of those WC jollyflex's on Friday much to my disgust as they look bodgy. The WC in this particular bathroom had two 90 degree long talied pan connectors joined by way of a 3 inch peice of grey soil before the pan spiggot connection end went onth a peice of cast iron.

First class......

So I cored a new hole square with the outlet of the pan but couldnt get the pan out due to rusty screws so used one of these instead.........plus I got rid of it after having it for five years
