Hi, I have some urinals which have Ll the wastes and flush pipes concealed. They are a bloody nightmare to fix a leak when they go wrong. The panel is too long to get your arm behind it to tighten traps etc. Now the little flush cones that come with it do not fit in. When I told the manufacturer they said I should just use silicone. I don't want to do this as if it does not stop them from leaking it will be a mess to clean up. So, anyone know where I can get some urinal flush cones? Or should I just use silicone?

Cheers chaps
 
Normally get rubber ones to fit and I agree something wrong if you have to use a tube of silicone
 
you can get the smaller internal ones
 
There the ones I am talking about. They are loose in the hole. Tried a bit of plumbers mait around it but still not getting a good seal

Have you tried the clear plastic ones ? Normally one of the two works
 
I agree with shaun the clear plastic /nylon type ones seem to work better adding sealant is just a quick fix , bracketing is also important drainage pipework expands and contracts alot good luck . kop

I have only used the ones that come with the urinals and they are the rubber ones. Where would I get the clear plastic ones for the urinal flush pipe? I only can find for toilet flush pipes?

Lots of clips on the pipework so no movement in that regard.

Hello I have a condensate pipe that appears to be leaking at the joint. How do I fix the leak? Would something like plumbers putty around the joint work or does it need to be some other compound? Can I simply pull the pipe and joint out and then put the compound round it Thanks
