OT Knowledge / Re: Soil pipe joint
« Last post by robgul on Today at 12:49:51 pm »Having done quite a bit of soil pipe plumbing/re-using I'd be reasonably confident in re-using the T as is - there are lots of makes and even finding a replacement seal would be difficult - and fitting into the slot in the T even more of a challenge.
I'd work on the basis of your new pipe being long enough to go right up to the hilt in the T - AND make sure to put a nice smooth chamfer on the end of the new pipe to slide easily past the rubber seal - washing up liquid works pretty well if you don't have the silicone (or other ) lube. If there is any leakage there are quite a few good sealants for the T fitting.
