Can I use lanko 701 for dwv pipe fill?

pazzy

Hi there stupidity used lanko 701 to fill around 100mm pvc pipe for shower as plumber decided not to fill it and I have waterproofer coming on Monday so I took it upon my self to fill gap with a left over bag I had from a recent underpinning,

my question is will it be ok or do I need to rip it out as online it’s states shouldnt be used on pvc pipe but in certain applications it’s ok

thanks

Hi @pazzy,

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is wonderful to have you with us.

I can't find anything in Sika's documentation stating that LANKO 701 Duragrout can't be used around pipes, nor that structural grouts in general can't be used around PVC pipes. 

I am more than happy to get in touch with Sika's technical team to double-check for you, but I'd need a couple of details from you.

Have you got a photo of the area that you can share? What is the rough diameter and depth that you filled around the pipe? Roughly how much Duragrout did you use?

When you can provide these details, I will reach out to Sika's technical team for comment.
