How to seal a hole

Featured Replies

As per previously thread redoing the waste arrangement in the utility.

I've taken out the old 32mm knowing it had sealant holding it in a (presumably) lead lined hole.

This was held in place with sealant, and maybe some mortar by the feel of the left over material.

Hole is roughly 60mm internal diameter.

I've seen Pipesnug as a brand.

So ideas for correct methods?

Small update:

Pipesnug fits nicely, not snug but that's because the old lead hole is bigger which I knew. Thinking a ring of silicone to secure it on.

 

But while starting today noticed one waste was 32mm and one 40mm (or whatever the old imperial sizes are).

Also reading its not advised to have more than one trap in a system.

So with that all in mind and not wanting to bodge further (I could have simply replaced one p-trap under the sink then done what I had to for the washer+dryer) I've decided to redo to the best of my knowledge.

 

New Belfast sink wastes ordered (hoping they'll seal correctly) for matching sizes, and now will be running with an in-line trap before exiting thru wall.

 

Coming to learn while the house was done properly in the 60s reno anything later was done on the cheap.
