I want to know if there is a way I can join UK soil pipe into soil pipe
from another country. The soil pipe from Thailand is about 1/8in bigger
in dia than the UK pipe, hence UK pipe fits into a Thai coupling with
about 1/8in gap. Seems to big to expect gap filling solvent to glue
this. I did wonder about the fibre glass repair kits for cars, the
stuff with chopped fibres.
This is to join a bottom drain (from the UK) for a Koi pond to be built
in Thailand.

How about a flexible coupling?

That was quick. I have used a flexible coupling to join two filter
chambers together but I would have thought that it wouldn't cope with
difference in diameter that I am now trying to join but I could try.

Sounds like quite a small difference compared to some of the things I've
done with it!

Having got home I have had the chance to measure it. A uk pipe is 110mm, the
internal diameter of the coupling is 114mm, so assume the larger pipe is
114mm diameter. Would a flexi coupling fit over that.

Go he

And put: 11230 in the search box. Look around 2/3rds of the way down
the results page. That's the item you want.

Thanks, that looks ideal.
