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

if you ain't got a jubbly clip, a couple 9" cable ties joined will do the trick, cheaper as well.

Go to your local plumbers merchant and get a 150mm straight collar joint. Fitting it might be fun

Are you sure it's 150mm that sounds large for domestic, 100mm would be normal over here.

Using the correct adhesive, i doubt if you'll have enough time to get the cable ties on mate. That welding adhesive starts working almost immediately, same with our PVC conduit adhesive, try pulling a joint apart a second or two after pushing together!!! It's not glued together but chemically welded. ...lol!!!

Our conduit adhesive is probably identical to the stuff plumbers are using, and airfix modellers lol

Because he has drilled from below into the pipe so the hole is at the bottom, patch it up as everyone has suggested and try to twist the pipe so the repaired hole is at the top so there is no chance of it leaking. If you can't turn it don't worry about it, the adhesive will hold back the crap.

can't believe 38 posts on a tiny hole in a crap trap. FFS, I=P/U, don't ever drill through an incoming mains feed or a gas pipe.. LOL.

Another option that springs to mind is to solvent weld a strap boss around it as it's such a small hole. Just cut off the boss bit (and don't buy a bung to go with it).

I know pretty much answered it in post 8 lol :13:

Buy a bottle of wine tonight and in the morning just use the cork to block the hole, job done.

well my soloution was a silcone glue that you can use in swiming pools with a cutting of the same type of pipe, and stuck like the wife to me

 

[Paul.M]

Just to show that I didn't mean anything by my last picture post I've found a couple of pics that you could use as an avatar. It's about time you got one.

or in green.

Bradzz right in all honesty. You need to do the job right, maybe a call to a plumber may be the best option.

................. and there was me thinking all you sparks were a cut above mere plumbers !!

 

[Geordie Spark]

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

This is definitely the best option.
