You will be able to get what you need from one of the building centres. you can get screw in bungs, or blow up bags with a length of rubber hosing about 1800 long that you pump up ( dont over inflate as they will "pop" ) also a manometer ( air test gauge. ) the bags are best used wet. have some soapy water ready when you test to put on the joints, bungs bags etc if they leak anywhere you will get bubbles. as it looks like the old clay, yarn and compo joints there is a good chance the test will fail mind you. be prepared to pull your hair out. :laugh:pianopete wrote:Thanks for your replies..
I still unsure how to test it as i need to plug each run into the junction, but it will not be accessible.
Is there a test device that has an inflatable bung on the end of a rod ?
Otherwise i would have to take a flexi connector off and insert a bung. Has anyone got experience of doing this ??
If you think this is bad, I have just uncovered the other end. Its a quite complicated maze. I also discovered the WC connection to the pipe is broken and was leaking (cast iron to clay).
I am trying to figure out the best way for this. Will post a picture later and what i think is needed.
