Hi Tony,
I have to replace a soil stack (from upper floor to ground) on a side wall of the house. It connects at ground level to a shallow inspection chamber - and I mean literally at ground level, as there is only enough depth for a single 90 degree bend connector which goes directly into the chamber (because it is close to the house wall as well....) where it is mortared in place as the inlet. This bend is currently earthenware but the top is broken and I will need to replace it. Can I use a standard plastic soil pipe 90 bend instead? The only earthenware ones I can find are too big/long radius. Will the mortar seal to the plastic, do I need to roughen it and use PVA etc? Any other suggestions ?
Regards
Geoff Hughes
