Hi All, I think I posted this in the wrong area, sorry
I have a bidet and want to fit a click waste, reasons later.
I measured the current waste thread od and it it about 36mm.
I have learnt that there is no real logic in the way waste products are dimensioned and so took this 36mm to be closest to 1 1/4 inch diameter and set about ordering a click waste identified as "1 1/4 inch 32mm click waste."
Imagine my surprise when the item arrived and it was over 41mm dia across the threads!
I contacted the vendor and asked which part of the device met this 32mm or 1 1/4 inch measurement. I didn't get a reply.
I have google myself bosseyed trying to find a click waste to suit but all vendors seem to apply this wonky logic regarding the quoted size and the real size.
If anyone can guide me through this maze it would be much appreciated.
Right, the reason for the change.
The bidet has a pop up waste and a tap with a movable nozzle. The problem is that at the lowest possible angle the water jet is far too high causing severe discomfort to the nether regions.
At present, I have to hang a flannel over the tap to intercept the flow but even then, occasionally, the flannel slips off and pain and shouting ensue.
I have found several taps which will do the job properly but they don't have the pop up facility.
Well, if I can get the click waste I want, then I can get the tap I want.
I'm sorry this is so long but a complete picture is better than half a story.
Any help will be much appreciated
Regards
Chris
