Discuss Blocked soil pipe after installing replacement toilet in the UK Plumbing Forum | Plumbing Advice area at PlumbersForums.net
So it was loose? I think Shaun mentioned about air, maybe this is part of the cause?hi Chris - the connector between soil pipe and connector pipe was only about half the width of the one I replaced
Hiya - thanks for your help. The upstairs is connected to a separate external soil pipe that was put in when we added a new bathroom. This has an open vent and is working fine.Is the upstairs soil pipe connected to the downstairs soil pipe and then to the stack with an open vent?
Or is upstairs connected direct to an open vented stack pipe and downstairs has a separate connection to the vented stack?
Or is there no open vent at all?
If it's the first and or third and you get bubbles in the downstairs toilet / sinks when you flush then there's a (partial) blockage below / downstream of toilet / sinks, the pipe is filing up and pushing air out through any waste pipe connected to it.
It may be coincidence or you may have disturbed something left in the brown soil pipe.
I actually replaced this part today with a new one, and then put a new valve on soil pipe and still getting problems. When the valve is off completely, or when the rodding hole is open, it flushes absolutely fine. So definitely to do with air I think.So it was loose?

Valve? As in air admittance? If yes, definite blockage, not air related.So definitely to do with air I think.
Yes - air admittance.Valve? As in air admittance? If yes, definite blockage, not air related.
