Hi All,
I'm doing some reno's in my bathroom and I've run into an issue. I have a old S-Pipe I want to change to a P-pipe (the S-pipe was exposed and the drainage pipe went into the floor of the bathroom). I'm putting in a P-pipe and putting it into the wall. Previously the pipe that went into the wall, was not the drainage but for air. That means I need to shorten the length of the air pipe, but I can't remove it as it is stuck (tried with a pipe wrench but no luck).
The issue is that I need to shorten the length of the air pipe, by replacing it with a smaller one, otherwise the P-pipe will be too low to the ground.
Not sure if I want to try to heat the air pipe and try to take it off that way. Or to cut a section and join it together with the rubber sleeve (I guess that would work, but just not sure it's right).
See attached picture (the S-pipe has been disconnected from the air pipe. But the lower section of the air pipe is stuck (won't unscrew).
Thanks,
RB
