Hi
(I posted this yesterday in the plumbing forum with no replies)
What kind if elbow soil pipe fitting is this?
Is it push fit rubber O ring or some kind of solvent weld?
I want to know if it is demountable without causing damage to the vertical soil pipe fitting
Installed in 1966.

Solvent weld, so not demountable.



Unless you are me (or a few others on here) but please don't try it or it will end in tears.

Thanks, I will avoid tampering with it in that case!
I'm refurbishing the bathroom and wanted to make better use of the space, however it's not a problem to leave it as is.
Thanks to everyone for the helpful advice.
