Default PVC through Concrete Pond Wall

For the closet flange to be glued to the pvc, the pvc would have to be cut,
inserted half way from one side, and then inserted half way from the other
side. It would function the same way as the ones you found as waterstops.
Just be sure that the pipe will go into both sides when you buy one.

I would use a closet flange with the pipe glued into each side. The

flange
will be in the center of the concrete and act as a water stop, making

the
water have a longer path. Concrete only sticks to pvc when you don't

want
it to. Vibrations in the plumbing, temperature changes, and other

factors
will cause the pvc to become lose in the hole, but the closet flange is
thoroughly anchored.


Do I have to cut the pipe or are you recommending passing it through the
flange? I found some online...however it is a little hard to figure if

the
pipe will pass through the flange.

The closet flanges seem to run about 5 bucks which is a LOT cheaper than
the $45 4 inch water stop I found.
