Here us why cheap pan connectors eventually leak

[Rob Foster]

We put a temporary cheapo pan connector on to test some drains. Today we removed the pan to put in the new floor. Look at the water left in the void space no wonder the rubbers rot away and leak ...multikwick all day long.

multi's have the same space and they even have some water left

I think you sometimes get that with multikwik’s?

I'd be more concerned about, what appears to be, an underground drainage fitting that the pan connector is connected to, or is that temporary too?

Multikwik pan connectors outer plastic eventually disintegrates after a long time, so also not perfect.

The plastic used for underground fittings & pipe does not have the same chemical make up as the above ground fittings & pipe, it does not have the same level of protection against the elements, especially UV protection from the sun. It breaks down much quicker than above ground drainage fittings, this is why it is much cheaper, and should not be used for above ground. Mind you, I suppose if the fitting in question will be cemented into the wall, it might be okay, but I for one, would certainly not recommend it.
