Russell griffiths Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 @pocster and @Thorfun those hangers, you get a length of threaded rod and cut it to length then you can make any hanger you want. As @ProDave said ,that bit in the loft is a bit horrid, the first bend coming from the vertical pipe need cutting back as you have a section of pipe with a back fall on it. If it looks right it generally is, if it looks a bit fugly then it’s normally not to flash. That bit in the loft is fugly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorfun Posted October 10, 2022 Author Share Posted October 10, 2022 and a bit of kudos where it's due to @Onoff as his tip about the SF mitre box fitting the 110mm soil pipe was spot on! I bought one and my cuts have never been squarer. thank you @Onoff. you're a genius. but I am having poor results with the chamfer tool I bought. https://www.screwfix.com/p/metex-10mm-shank-drill-mounted-pvc-pipe-chamfer-tool-110mm/876pv?_requestid=421611 I must be doing it wrong as I get part of the pipe chamfered nicely but other parts not at all! I'm trying my hardest to keep the drill square to the pipe but nothing I do seems to work. I've gone back to using an angle grinder to smooth down the bits the chamfer tool isn't chamfering. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a sh!t week so basking in the glory whilst I can: My DIY chamfer tool did the job. Tbh a decent chamfer, even if not perfect like mine will do. Some silicone spray helps. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get this sort of chamfer of 'most' of the pipe but there are bits where it doesn't and it's still pretty much a 90° edge! It's most likely me not keeping the chamfer tool square to the pipe I guess but I've just taken to smoothing down the bit it doesn't work on with my small angle grinder. seems to do the trick with plenty of lube slathered on.

Nickfromwales Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Right…… Number one schoolboy error. On a run supporting something such as this, you need to fit a clip, on the pipework, immediately prior to each fitting either end. If it looks like a see-saw, gues what it'll do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickfromwales Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I’ve just realised, you’re causing yourself a bit of unnecessary pain and suffering by not using fittings from the underground ( orange coloured ) range. These will give you 15o and 30o bends, whereas it looks like you’re mostly ( ore exclusively ) using 45o ( aka 135o ) bends? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
