    Can i get a rubber connector over 4 inch gate valbe

    Can I get a rubber boot to fit over 110 mm gate valve I need to connect 4 inch pipe to a 110 mm gate valve there's no pipe available to get connector onto i'm trying to push it over the actual gate valve outlet but having no joy tried a nexus inlet boot no good and 6 to 4 inch boot way too big anyone know if I can get a connector that will fit tried soaking boot in hot water still no joy I can get a 4 inch connector over a 3 inch gate valve if I used that would it restrict the flow into my bio chamber I was going to put 3 inch valves on both inlets I need to use boots direct onto valve as limited for space

    If you go to a good plumber's suppliers with the valve, I'm sure they will have a rubber boot that fits what you want.

    Thank you for reply I tried our local plumbcemtre no joy they couldn't help they suggested the 3 inch valve in a 4 inch straight rubber connector would this work without restricting flow

    I just did a quick search on eBay and I found this supplier with straight sizes and stepped sizes that you may be able to use:

    If there is a piece of 110mm pipe in the valve a good air drier and be careful with a big screw will get glued in pipe out!!
    Then clean up with sand paper and refit the appropriate length of 110mm pipe with the correct glue
