    I have 32mm rigid PVC pipe running from a pump to a ball-valve but due to subsidence it's difficult to connect the pipe to the ball-valve after servicing and I don't want to break the pipe trying to do so.
    Is there any way of inserting a small length of flexible pipe to make it easier to connect the rigid pvc pipe to the valve (or to another bit of rigid pcv pipe?
    What I have in mind is cutting a short length of the rigid PVC pipe and replacing it with a short length of some kind of flexible pipe.
    The existing fittings are like this:

    Effectivel what I'm looking for is Rigid PVC Pipe > Flexible Pipe > Rigid PVC Pipe
