I was thinking of a pan connector but inlet size not 110mm. They are ideal fitting for certain scenarios

@V8Druid ive had to use one of these before they are the bollocks for getting you out of the s**t. Knew i kept the box for a reason

@DaveDCB are those connectors you posted up for me slip on the 4" pvc side? As in if chopping between 2 bits of clay do i still need to use a slip collar after this? Obviously the flex bands work as a slip on the pvc side

You’ll still need to add in a slip - maybe even a double slip as it will be tight, so probably another 12” of Plastic pipe onto one end of the ‘Y’ before the clay again.

Smaller hole with a couple of flex either side then

Mkm or jewsons, I normally order them in specifically to be fair!

You’re more organised than I am !

Probably Dave I’ve never heard of the called anything other than old clay pipes .
That’s a lot of couplers to carry in the van ! It is the best way to go though if you can have them to hand or you can get them quickly . The band seal couplers are pretty good if you take your time to line them up but you definitely won’t beat a dedicated coupler like that .
I think I will keep a note of the different sizes of clay pipes I come across and see if any are more common . Then I could keep a couple of these on the van .

Picked up this leaflet the other day
Advertising bandseals with built in bushes so will line up with a much wider variety of pipes supposedly. Not tried it but seems a good idea.

That’s better ! I won’t need my bit of pipe cutting with these !

They also do a full set of bushes to adapt pipe sizes.
Forgot Mission rubber is the company name.

I’ve used these and got a few in sitestak bloody brilliant for salt glaze sticking out a wall that sheared off etc

 

[Giles]

we use the ad400 couplers on saltglaze etc but not thought of bushing them only ever used them salt glaze to plastic so the steps down flow

That’s the thing, the flexiseals are fine if your going into plastic, but I hate them going from clay-plastic joint -clay the steps are never flush no matter how hard you try

I think the 'list' is totally imaginary or would be created by adding 82% to whatever they quote you

Yeah it’s daft , but some merchants are on 60% another I use a lot are 76% and I think Giles gets even more than 82%? So they all take the piss one way or another!!
