    50mm solvent weld, plastic pipe fitting?
    I'm trying to add some pipe work to what I thought must be a 50mm Solvent Weld type Tee piece. But when I measured the internal diameter of the tee piece it is actually 55mm and the 50mm pipe I have just rattles around inside. I thought that waste pipe only came in 50mm, is there such a thing as 55mm diameter pipe? So it will fit snug enough for the adhesive to bond the plastics together?

    Drainage pipes come in 38mm, 50mm,76mm,and 101mm. They do not come in 55mm. Buy another tee. Regards, Tom
