help if youve been there

[i=p/u]

i have drilled through a waste pipe from a toilet that doesnt be usaed much so isnt leaking, have you evr done this and did you have to cut the pipe and refit piece or were you able to fill with ct1 or anything you consider was good

cheers if you have some advice

Depends on drilled location you can purchase joint sections black rubber sleave, but as said depends on location, if you can see the whole take a photo and up load, this would be better for people to try and help. if you can get to pipe you can cut pipe then slide this over, or as said up load photo if possible, see what can come up with.

its a orange 150mm waste pipe from toilet i assume

i was putting in spotlights from floor level and its been a nightmare, first time tho myself, so.. 8mm drill hole straight in middle of pipe

how big's the hole you.ve drilled? if it's only a little one, a bit of silicon. if it's too big for that, say, 20mm. bang a bit of pvc conduit in. remember , you need something to protect the cable from corrosive gases and poo. ( that is, if you are feeding your cable through the pipe. LOL. ) .

8mm whole, think ct1 might seal it, going to home base find a rubber plaster

Cut a bit of soil pipe then cut it in half or half again. Then solvent weld the piece onto the damaged area

If it were me I would get something like a flexible plastic sheet or rubber to wrap around the pipe, also use that "sticks like sh*t" grap adhesive and a couple of straps or big cable ties to hold it in place.

You do not want to plug the hole where the plug will stick up inside the pipe, this will eventually catch and build up what gets flushed and will eventually cause problems.

wouldnt have the tools to do that pennywise, but thats what i thought would be the best fix

Silicon,has there is very little pressure in the pipe.

 

[telectrix]

duct tape.

8mm whole, think ct1 might seal it, going to home base find a rubber plaster

Plenty of silicone bud
