110mm push fit soil pipe fixings - two fitting methods?
It is a while since I messed around with 110mm soil pipe fittings.
Digging a brown OSMA joint out of stock, I find it has a rubber seal inside a collar. First attempt to push in a length of grey pipe was not successful. I then levered off the brown plastic ring with the rubber seal, slid this down the grey pipe, fitted the grey pipe into the joint and it looked as though the sealing ring would knock back down to grip the grey pipe. I thought I had better check, and all I can find online so far is the method of chamfering the end of the grey pipe, lubricating it with silicone, and forcing it in. Is my (possibly logical) way O.K. or should I reach for the lubricant?

And although I have used plenty of fairy liquid in the past, my impression is that proper silicone oil (liquid or spray) is slightly better. |
