ToughButterCup Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 Well lads, as you can see I'm well on the way to breaking out of Colditz. (And you thought Germans can't take the piss eh?) and that means I can shove a bit of pipe on a 135 bend ... This is the full schema. Remember I ask ze qveschuns yes? Solvent weld or push fit ? And vy?
Russell griffiths Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 I personally like solvent weld, reason, if fitting multiple push fit joints they can twist out of shape and pull apart as you are working on the next stage. 1
Gone West Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 I would use solvent weld if buried in a wall, but would pressure test well before covering. 1
PeterW Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 If that stack is going to be accessible I would use a 135 tee and then put an access cap on the top so you can do future maintenance. 1
Onoff Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 How do you get rid of the spoil from the wall, do you have special trousers with hidden bags operated by string? 2

Don't be silly. He digs a hole and buries it. Then he puts the spoil from the hole in the special trousers.
Onoff Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 Still thinking a tunnel out under the slab would have been easier. Every Tom, Dick and Harry will be making jokes now. 1

Nope. Bit by bit, I pop small bits of spoil each week in the recycling bin. They come and take it all away - no questions asked - every Monday morning. Amazing what a weekly cheery bit of banter and a Christmas box for the Recycling team achieves. Top lads! (well, there's one ermmm..... humourless too.)

Enlighten me do ... pressure test ... blow down it, up it? At last, a genuine excuse to use my compressor ?

Of course, it would be silly not to make it accessible ( ? hadn't given it a thought). A 135 tee -double Dutch to me - but only for a few hours. Yet another steep learning curve eh? @zoothorn, you are not alone.

At last, a genuine excuse to use my compressor ? Cap it off at the bottom and fill it with water. If no leaks from the solvent welds all good. Sorry didn't see CC post.

ToughButterCup Posted September 4, 2019 Author Posted September 4, 2019 Seems simple enough ..... so far.
Onoff Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 Remember @Nickfromwales sage advice! Working with solvent weld you only get one chance so assemble sections dry and mark adjacent parts with Sharpie alignment marks. Do the same for depth i.e how far they'll push in. Then, when you apply your solvent it's just push and twist to the alignment mark. 1
