Ikea vanity waste

[tomsim]

Can anyone explain how the ikea vanity basin wastes work. There's a flexible pipe that leaves the trap. But how does this then connect to 32mm waste pipe?

They dont work, designed for the Swedish waste systems. Throw it away and fit a UK waste.

Can you post pictures? I think there's a conversion part you can use

The waste is telescopic slides the trap to the back of the vanity. Would I need a whole new one of these?

Post a pic of what you have, and we can probably suggest an alternative. Problem is, the Ikea flexi section doesn't link to anything the UK uses, only way to make a connection would be to bodge it.

That's what is supplied

The elbow ,bottom of pic ,that connects to the Flexi waste pipe ,If you don't use that ,but instead fit a 1¹/⁴ inch ( 32 mm) compression elbow ,that may work. As long as the compression elbow seals on the rigid end of the Flexi.
Can you measure the Diameter ,external ,of that rigid bit of the Flexi ???

It shows this on YouTube

I'll have a look at that.

This is how my IKEA vanity is plumbed up if that helps

Thanks. How does that elbow seal/fit to the solvent weld pipe?

 

[jbonevia]

I think it was just a push fit with maybe a smear of silicone sealant but its been 3 years since I fitted it so my memory is a bit hazy, sorry.

I've had zero problems so far with it though.

Got the same ikea vanity unit, you need a 32mm McAlphine adaptor to connect to both pipes (Screwfix 68742)

Would this work for you?
MCALPINE S12A-F 1¼" BSP EU / UK COUPLER WHITE 32MM X 32MM

So the straight rigid part of the flexible pipe goes in to a 32mm mcalpine fitting and bites up ok?
