October 10, 20224 yr If you email jtmplumbing for help - they’ll supply a link to all the bits you need 😁
October 10, 20224 yr @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.

October 10, 20224 yr Author 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.

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.

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. (easy @pocster! don't get too excited)

October 10, 20224 yr 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

If it looks like a see-saw, gues what it'll do I figured as this was just the vent part of the SVP and wouldn't take any liquid/solid support wouldn't be needed. I guess that was an incorrect assumption!
October 10, 20224 yr 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?
