Any advice to repair not replace... please! It's obviously in the tightest space and in the smelliest tiny room. As in RIP ratty. It's also on the joint of a 100"-90" reducer!
Was thinking fibreglass wrap?
Denso tape?
McAlpine market an anti rodent trap and they are a reputable outfit. its an easy fitYou can get rat gates for sewers, never fitted one myself. May be worth some research to see if they lead to blockages.
Yeah I tried to add pics but they wouldn't load... Will try again. Hopefully rat catcher will sort the rats.Pics?
Rat blockers can work but that horse has bolted.
Also they need to be installed carefully (usually on last i/c before main), and all rats upstream of the blocker need sending to the great sewer in the sky and all other potential access points into the upstream area need blocking (cracked pipes, dry traps etc.).
A fernco over the hole might temporarily stop the rats seeing and smelling a way out while you consider your options. (but clearly they will chew through if so minded)
Client wants the cheapest option of course!
Would the drain connector be stable? as there would still a bit of pipe inside the T. Also the problem was I couldn't get to the pipe to cut it, it was tight against the wall and all the pipes from the UVHWS plus all in the way... it was a struggle- I had brought two rubber couplings and a bit of pipe, with a reducer, but seriously the smell- I had to do it as quick as possible, or vom. BUT THANKS!mac drain connector into the top of the tee then a fernco 4" to 3" adapter on the end of x amount of pipe
but good effort
Won't it be silly like 110 less the internal pipe bit - down to 950 too tight for the Mac ribbed spigot? Just I've had situations before= not on soil stack but other waste where it's just not quite right / matching sizes.. very annoying - you know what I mean?Yes think of a pan connector but for 110mm soil pipe
