Strap Boss for an AJ

    Is it possible to get a boss strap to connect into the side wall of an AJ. I have seen the ones that connect with 110mm pipe but I need to connect into a 316mm AJ riser.

    We're redoing the bathroom and discovered that the previous connections of shower and sink waste were done quite crudely. It's a downstairs bathroom with an AJ under the floor. We have exposed the upper part of the AJ where the pipes were connected in. Holes were bored into the side wall of the riser and the pipes were just pushed through the holes. No seal at all. Then the concrete floor was laid covering the pipes.

    I have a plumber on board but he doesn't have any great ideas so far. I'd prefer not to just Tec7 it into place.

    Searching online and I found boss strap adapters but they seem to be made only for 110mm pipe.

    How much trouble would it be to dig it all up and do it properly?

    A lot.

    What do you mean by doing it properly. Do you mean fitting branch connections into the sewer pipe before it connects with the AJ. That would be hell.

    Sewer pipes are another foot down and would have to dig up the concrete subfloor as well.

    To answer the first part, there is no strap on connection to fit the diameter of an A.J..
    Already it sounds like lots of short cuts taken on the original connections and probably from the description, you may be having to add to it.
    So either add to the already bodged job that it sounds like or dig down and do it properly.

    Can you outline what you mean by doing it properly.

    As it is I wouldn’t be adding to an already bodged job. At worst I’d be repeating it.

    Ok, going by your description pipes were pushed through openings into the A.J. with no seals etc.
    So it sounds like some rudimentary bodging job was done to accommodate the additional pipework. I could be wrong, but that's how it sounded.
    Maybe take a few photographs and post them here and it could help with understanding what you have and how you may rectify it.
