Hello Would you think it's best to put a piece of white 110 pipe straight up from the grey bend? They want me to put the waste connection straight into & under the floor I said, what happens if it leaks or comes loose? The floor is going to be tiled. Thx all  |

you would't gain anything from doing that Rocket, that end facing up is the same size as pipe, I'd raise it as high as you can to it protudes through the floor and gives as much fall as you can,
just being pedantic here Rockey, a book reader will tell you that the bend is the wrong way round, I know it will be fine as it is, But if you use a glued coupling to turn it round so the rubber joint is facing up, then put a small lenght of soilpipe in the socket, that would be a better joint and you could be 100% sure that it would be ok underfloor,

Cheers Tom
So the grey waste at the end is plain & has no rubber.
You would put a solvent weld elbow on it? Then the rubber end faces up & put the soil into that?
I'll look when I go again.
I think I tried to put the plain end in that soil pipe but it wouldn't go so I put the rubber end on it.
Cheers Tom

It will be fine like that rocket, so don't worry about it, Its just a rule that the spigot end should go in the flow side, Its always better to use glued joints under tiled floors, so a glued elbow will be as good,  |

They're not paying me directly
An English chap is. He paid for a day I did. I've just this minute emailed him another invoice for 3 odd days plus materials I bought. Unfortunately for him I add £20 a day deisel. He understands as I'm doing 110 miles round trip.
I won't trust people like I did again. The Surrey rabble have had the court forms.
I want paying as I go now.

I'd like to do it properly so taking that part out & redoing is fine with me. It's all good experience I was soldering today, something do rarely but nothing leaked when I turned the water back on. So that gives me confidence. It's all about me believing in myself really. Cheers Tom. You're input is invaluable |

that a spiget/socket elbow, the socket is the rubbered end , we call them a guzinto and a guzonto ( goes into and goes on to) bend, the spigot goes into a fitting, and the socket end goes onto the pipe, |

Right, I've got it!
I've watched your vid
The plain pipe goes into the rubber.
A pan connector with the rubber on the end never goes into a rubber on the pipe. It goes into a plain pipe.
So, on my one, the soil pipe, if a plain end needs a rubber fitting to fit over it. Then the top of the elbow is plain (that white rubber pulls out), I can put a pan connector rubber straight into a plain pipe but never into a rubber end.
I'm confusing myself now!
I understand the video

So what I've got is a single socket elbow. The socket part (with the rubber bit) allows a piece of plain pipe in. But never a part with a rubber at the end. As per your video, I'd need a small piece of plain ended pipe into to socket then the pan connect (with rubber) into the end. Never rubber into rubber. I think I've got it. It would've been easier for me to buy the materials I think. The bits I bought yesterday I used today & were correct!! Thx Tom for taking the time. I really appreciate it |
