Branch Connection to an existing Vertical Soil Pipe
Branch Connection to an existing Vertical Soil Pipe.Sometimes in order to make a connection to the drainage system it is necessary to cut right into the vertical soil stack. A Chingford Plumber has expertise in all plumbing jobs. A Tee branch will need to be inserted for large pipes, however where the connection is for smaller pipes the connection is called a Boss.The jointing procedure:1). Purchase a strap on Boss for the correct size of waste pipe you are working with.2). Once you have it you will be able to cut the right sized hole in the existing soil stack. The hole should be cut with a special hole saw which has a central drill bit fitted in the centre of a round toothed blade. Before cutting the pipe make sure that the saw is the right size for the Boss fitting.3). Once everything is in place and you have access to the soil pipe make sure that the system is not used by anyone until the job is complete. Drill the hole at the correct location and allow for any slope gradient. The Boss should not be fitted too high as water will be trapped in the pipe as it drains. Chingford Plumbers are qualified professionals.4). Check Boss fits snuggly to the pipe.5). Clean the mating surfaces to provide a clean plastic to plastic joint.6). Apply appropriate solvent cement as per the Boss manufacturers guidelines.7). Push the fitting into place and hold firmly until the cement has set, usually in a few minutes. 8). Some designs of Boss have an included O ring that enables you to push the small waste pipe into the fitting. There are others that require a rubber cone to be inserted before making the final connection.
