Try part no 16148, 82 mm, black, strap boss, 2/3 down this page:http://www.bes.

But a local plumbers' merchant or drainage supplies place should do the
same. It is 3" nominal so that is what you should be asking for.

Thanks. It's exactly 3.5 inches external though - I'm not sure if
that's the same as 3 inches nominal.

The one at BES is 82mm so 3.25" which is plenty close enough for a strap
on boss but buy a longer bolt for the back fixing which I'd guess will be M6.

Last one I fitted needed a 57mm hole saw for the pipe, cut slow and use
lube.

Thanks fred. Yes, a longer bolt should do the trick.

Presumably I should use an appropriate grade of waterproof sealant to
ensure a watertight connection between boss and pipe.
