There are two solutions for dealing with ground movement: (1) is for the pipe to run through a footing aperture with flexible stuffing as shown in one @Oz07photo or (2) allow for articulation either side of the footing wall. An ordinary 100mm plastic coupling/bend piece should provide enough articulation. Edited April 17, 2020 by epsilonGreedy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BCO suggested that there was probably no need to take any precautionary measures in terms of ground movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russell griffiths Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) Pull the rubber out of another (same make) and swap them over. As Tommy Cooper said JUST LIKE THAT. Get a warm bucket of soapy water and get some of that dusty crud from around the rubber, clean the groove before inserting new cleaned rubber.

How right was Ed ( @Construction Channel) ? I had to resort to this to keep the bloody pipe still. It was like grabbing hold of a Turkish wrestler..... Those pipe / oil filter grabbers (that red one is magnetic) is worth it's weight in gold to me - 8 fingers in total, 6 that work. I used two crowbars instead of road pins. Thanks Ed.

PeterW Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Make sure you put concrete mass fill around the changes in direction and especially the last bend into the tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
