Morning everyone. Got an issue with an internal soil stack boss strap failure. The boss strap had been sealed originally with silicon which has failed and caused a leak. The soil stack is accessible but it’s tight working area.
Do I seal the boss strap with OB1, cross my fingers and hope it lasts more than 10 years or so, or do I use solvent cement filler like Polypipe and hope I do it properly. The problem with the solvent cement filler is that if there is another issue in the future and the boss strap is welded on, there is no way of cutting the soil stack and taking the whole thing out.
The boss strap is not used for any other pipe work and was cut in by mistake by a builder.
