Hi chaps,
Had a job last week where I had to convert from solvent weld waste pipe to 40mm compression/pushfit waste pipe.
The customer is a landlord and wants everything as cheap as possible, I didn't have much of a run of pipe to work with so ended up solvent-welding a piece of 40mm polypropelene pipe over about 4 inches of the solvent weld. After about 15 minutes it was still a bit loose but after an hour it was solid. I didn't have room for an adaptor as it was tight up against some other pipework.
Question is:
Will this hold?
