Plastic pipes are very favorably different from steel pipes: they do not rust, they are quick and convenient to work with. Somehow I did a drain for the house and I needed a pipe with an extension at the end in the form of a funnel. I did not find such on sale, I decided to do it myself and as it turned out not in vain. The whole procedure took no more than 5 minutes and in the end I got the product I needed.
