ToughButterCup Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Have a look at this .... The down-spout (?) is too close to the top chord of the POSI to fix the clip properly. And if there's one thing that YooChube has taught me, its that the fixings for the soil pipe need to be pucca. Should I; pack out the gap between the pipe and the clip and fasten, put a noggin between the top chords of the adjacent POSIs and fix the pipe clip to that, enlarge the hole in the ceiling (floor above) and move the pipe 50mm or so such that the clip can be fixed (won't be seen in the bathroom above) Where's @Onoff when you need him?

JFDIY Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Put a noggin between the joist and turn clip sideways from current position to fix to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onoff Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Pack between pipe and joist face and/or fitting and joist face and use some builders band screwed to the joist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’ve got the plastic coated builders band then all the better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like very useful stuff. Never seen it before - looked at it, but not seen it, if you know what I mean. I suspect I should keep some in stock then. Recommendations - sizes , types? Any German manufacturers to avoid? ( ?) Thanks lads. 'Nother hole you've dug me out of.... Ta! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToughButterCup Posted March 10, 2020 Author Share Posted March 10, 2020 Managed to cut and fit a noggin in between the metal joists and to screw the clip to that. Really pleased because having bent and crooked hands actually helped! It's an ill wind and all that ... Just because I can, I'll fit some builders band tomorrow when it arrives. ? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
