What he didnt show you was how bulky it is inside the soil stack with possible issues of build of products such as loo paper effluent if it's fitted below the soil appliances. It also doesn't take into account the build up of scale etc inside the soil pipe so when tightening up the boss pipe and that internal isn't really clean uou could end up with it leaking! With a standard glued boss pipe their is no intrusion inside the soil pipe itself so no risk of snagging of loo paper etc. In cases say in high use flats where water is constantly being discharged down the stack then its a good solution .

That non return valve once its gummed up with hair & products etc becomes useless and rhen bexomes non operative as most customers have no idea hiw to maintain and clean them out. Does that trap have a 2.5° gradient or is it a horizontal outlet. Most shower traps struggle to clear properly especially if its served by an electric shower with poor flow rate add to that when shiwer gel foams up so then the waste pipe hardly ever runs full bore to clean it , as it would with a bath flowing fullbore when emptying ! Thats when you get the build up of hair and product's. So its ok having a trap that allows for minimal depth especially on solid floors and low profile trays. Alot of plumbers have no idea about self siphonage or induced siphonage they just fit whatever will fit in ! Esoecially in flats where tbe traps require a deep seal to overcome being pulled by other appliances above or below . The ending result being smell emanating into the bathroom. Now in an ideal world that trap you showed would be great but in the ream world not necessarily so wspecially in student accomodation where they dont gjve a rats back side and it just gets left !! Hair and products are tbe bane of any shower trap or bath trap come to that really. Sort that out youre onto a winner !

What about 50 mm / 2inch fittings?
@antoniogalluccio421323 күн бұрын
If I use mactun 2, still I will still have to have 30 mm lenght D2 pipe before 🎉the first brand or not because it increases from 22 to 32mm? And if so where would start measuring from. Will the the centimeters of the non rerurn valve count for the 300mm it matters to me as I can't go to much down

You didn't mention the built in 5 degrees fall in the waste pipe inlet and for this reason you need to look for the 'Top' marking to install the boss the correct way up. Great vid otherwise. 👍

The only temporary pressure drop occurs when the check valve opens, which is a mere 0.3 bar for less than a second.

That’s correct with this particular version - the Nonreturn valve eliminates the need for the Water Seal in stopping smells coming back into the room.

We do not but you could use a MAC-EXTB which will get you from your cast then use a DC1-BL into that. Failing that you would need to look at something like a Fernco coupling which we don’t manufacture.

Seriously extensive product range & a super convenient bit of kit, BUT, I'm still sceptical about flexible pan connectors in particular. Like he says, they are usually in a concealed area - I've heard some horror stories, particularly re. rats, but it's also going to be subjected to a variety of chemical products over the years e.g. sodium hydroxide. A product that thin & flexible just can't be as robust and have the same longevity as rigid connectors? I'm happy to be told I'm wrong in this thinking......
@mcalpineplumb2 ай бұрын
Hi, thanks for your question. We're primarily a trade manufacturer so it's really down to the tradesman’s preference. Rats can be an issue for Flexible WC Connectors of that there is no doubt, but they can be equally as destructive to Rigid connectors as they can be to Flexibles. We manufacture the ARB-1 to try and mitigate this risk. Regarding chemicals our Flex is manufactured from Polypropylene which is extremely resilient to chemicals and should cope with anything your average household would throw down a WC. Regarding the robustness, we give a 10 year Guarantee on our Flexible WC Connectors which is market leading, and we have many out in the real world that outlast that guarantee with absolutely no issues.
