My tip for these PITA inventions is compress them up then undo them
and coat the olive in a healthy dose of Fernox-LSX silicone or
similar.

Spent many hours Saturday faffing around behind the newly fixed basin
& pedestal with a tissue trying to find several weepers.

Silicone (as above) and a cup of tea while it cured did the job a
treat.


pushfit, pushfit, pushfit :-)


Push into the bin.

If you need to use plastic pipe use good quality compression joints with the
olive wrapped in PTFE on the plastic pipe. A far better and cheaper joint
than pushfit. Also easily demountable.

And buy the right tool for the job when it comes to cutting it

eh ... dIMM ?
