Hi, next job on SWMBO's list of tasks to stop me having a weekend is a new
bog. The existing one has an outlet almost at floor level. The soil pipe
runs across the littlest room about a fingers thickness from the floor and
the loo outlet enters via a "Y" in the middle ( crap description probably
but I can't do drawings on this bloody thing that look anything like they're
supposed to). The new throne has its outlet about 8" from the deck and it's
close coupled to its cistern. So , finally, as the new loo is going to be
closer to the wall and I'm going to use an elbow, the "Y" piece of the soil
pipe is going to need to be turned 90 degrees from the front to the top (if
you see what I mean). It would appear to be solvent welded so I'm going to
have to cut it then rejoin it but how? Presumably it'll need to be pretty
square and I can't see how to get a saw in as it's tight to the wall as well
as the floor. What about joining it back together - is there a rubber tube /
jubilee clip arrangement or will it require 2 couplings. Tried to interest
several plumbers in the job (like others I ain't too keen on the contents
of the pipe) but the only one who quoted wanted £40 / hour and said to
reckon on 5-6 hours - my arse!
