Connecting onto glazed soil

[Millsy 82]

Anybody know a way of connecting onto glazed clay soil.

I need to get a shower tray on floor level and am hoping to connect onto this pipe with a tee and reduce down to 1-1/2" but this clay is a problem 1st.

Carefully cut to the right of the collar (in the first pic) replace clay 90 with a plastic tee and join with a rubber connector ( the type with the jubilee clip on either end which I can never rember the name of) reduce down for the shower waste and connect whatever else is above into the branch of the T

Flexible couplings from Williams (amongst others).

Flexicon or Fercon

Agreed, angle grind off the 90 just before the collar of the joint. Then use a fernco coupling to change to plastic and go from there.

When I said the right of the collar, I meant left

I'd go with cut the collar off and use a jubilee flexi connection from Williams and connect onto that

We use a special snapping cutter tool to cut clay drainage pipes nice and clean before you can say cut that pipe please.

Worth it if you do a fair bit of drainage work and live in an area with lots of clay drains like we do.

Not worth it if you only do the odd one.

We charge a bit of the cost of it out on each job involving clay drains so it's nearly paid for itself already.

Screwfix/Toolstation all do 5" clay to 110mm flexible adaptors.
