Cleaniing 32 mm waste pipes
I know there are flexible waste pipe cleaners available from plumbers'
merchants or the sheds, anyone know if a brush-ended version is available? Google turned up loads of bottle brushes and the like, but nothing on the end of a couple of metres of flexible wire. -- The Wanderer Everyone brings happiness. Some as they arrive, others as they leave. |

S You mean a snake Nah, already got a 3m long one of those. I'm reluctant to try taping a bottle brush to the end, as the pipe run has a couple of 45° bends before going into a top entry on the toilet connection elbow, and I have this dread of the brush coming adrift and me having to take a load of panelling apart on the combined vanity unit and toilet backing. 'S gotta be a brush actually twisted into the end of the twisty wire. Found a supplier in the US who'll make 'em to whatever length you want, but the shipping would be prohibitive for something that costs no more than a few pounds. -- The Wanderer Wine Improves with age.

I recently unblocked a complex small bore drain run by deliberately blocking the outlet end and back filling the whole system with caustic soda solution and left it to soak for several hours. Worked a treat. Bob |
