Thread 2940930

hi there. i got a situation that i dont know how to handle, pic related.

its all 40mm pvc, the tube on the left is fixed and i cant move it or bend it.
i need to extend it and connect an elbow so i can add a pipe that goes next to the wall on the right.
there are 12,5cm from the fixed pipe to the wall.
the idea is that the new pipe goes right next to the wall.
is it even posible? i dont see a logic way, but as you can imagine im all new to pvc.
my logic of thinking is that if i insert the female-female extensión (which im probably gonna have to cut) + the elbow into the fixed pipe, whatever the ammount of insertion i do, thats the distance its gonna be away from the wall. maybe only 2cm but still. is there anyway around this?

heres a picture of the real stuff also.
PS: sorry if my english aint the best!

Does it need to hold pressure?
If not can you get one of these over the end of the existing pipe?

>>2940936
it does not have to hold pressure, its a drain pipe for a shower... interesting what you propose, should do the trick

>>2940931
I don't understand the problem

>>2940953
so yes, you do what you say in the picture. elbow is now attatched to female-female extension. lets imagine elbow+extension is 12,5cm wide (i know its not, but follow me), so this piece is the same wide of the space i have between the fixed pipe and the wall, cool, but after i insert this piece into the fixed pipe (lets say 3cm), then the whole piece moves 3cm away from the wall. :)
thanks for replyin!

thats easy then, just get a fernco coupling or similar and do this

>>2940953
You can do this, just cut the little filler pipe like 1/2" short so that you can assemble it, then pull it out a bit so it's up against the wall. Should still be enough length of pipe inside the fitting to seal for a non-pressure drain line.

Exactly

Make Pic Rel

Don't even Rotate it like I Indicated. Just make that.

Just read that it doesn't need to hold pressure and is just a drain for a shower

Disregard

Those are still schedule 40 and can hold pressure just fine.myk88d

>>2941096
Fernco couplings like that pic are schedule 40 for drains, waste and vents, not pressure.
They do make ones for pressure but not that one.

Wonder if these old guys have healthy face skin. Steam is supposed to be good for the skin.

Look for a no-stop coupling or repair coupling if you don't want a fernco
