Super_Paulie Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Hi guys. Planning my kitchen waste with various bits I have hanging around. Is this my best option for a rodding access? That run along the side of the extension is 2m which is supported, but I'm thinking this rodding access will just collect kitchen waste and do the exact opposite of what I want, but I can't think of another way to do it? Obviously I'll get new fittings all the same colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Paulie Posted May 13 Author Share Posted May 13 The thought has just dawned on me that I could just use a swept bend and just not weld it on one end, thus making it removable. Or is this frowned upon by the majority? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saveasteading Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 That should work. If the end gets mucky inside, does it matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Punter Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 I think you are better rodding in the direction of flow. If the pipe gets blocked, where will the rods push the blockage? Can you get an access where it exits the wall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conor Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 No, you can rod downstream aswell with a pulling action with one of the flip scrapers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be happy if that'll work as it's much less of an eyesore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Paulie Posted May 15 Author Share Posted May 15 Further to this, why the hell are the white swept bends bigger than the black? I've already cut the pipe now white I waited for them to come into store, proper seen me off 😤 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
