I need to connect a 1.5m length of 40mm plastic pipe using a rubber boss connector into the 60mm opening on a 110mm branch, like this one:
Oops - 75cm, not 1.5m
You put a block between the wall and the 40mm pipe and stand off the 40mm pipe, or use a plastic offset tapered adapter at the pipe join,
Those adapters do exist.
Trivial to put a block between the base of the clips and the wall.
Even a lenght of timber parallel to the pipe over its full lenght.
That would look an awful bodge. .
So bending won't work, but a 75cm strip oif wood between the wall and the pipe would work fine.
Google Mungsen Ring
Mungsen Ring back-plate screwed to wall, M10 studding between backplate and ring
This idea but for 40mm and in stainless/brass/cast iron
No "G" Munsen Ring
I'd use a couple of 135 elbows to create a neat dogleg to the 40mm pipe and use standard 40mm wall-mounted pipe-clips.
At least that is what I've done a couple of times.
Create a "set" in the pipe with a pair of shallow bends to step it out to the boss at the end of the 40mm pipe run.
+1 - You beat me to it!
Thanks for the replies - I'll go with this solution, seems neatest,
Would that be heating/bending the pipe, or using the 135 connectors?
Assuming solvent weld, then 135 connectors would be easier and neater I suspect.
Gotcha, thanks.
