waste pipe larger than 40mm

[lewisj]

The problem i have got is connecting sink waste pipe which is 32 mm to the bath waste pipe which is bigger than 40mm.So what type of connecter can i use,as i was going to use a 40 mm t shape connecter with a 32 mm to 40 mm reducer .I dont want to replace bath waste pipe so is there any universal fittings for this metric bath waste pipe to connect to the standard 1 s in the shpos (32mm -40mm).
Thanx

What size is the existing waste A compression tee might do the trick

Different makes vary in size so see if theres any writing on the pipe or fittings.

This is a common question.

You need a universal compression waste fitting -like this:

they fit most pipe sizes within a given range- pushfit, solvent weld, copper and lead waste pipes.

Go for a decent make- McAlpine.

what is the lagest pipe a universal compression joint will take.As the outer diameter of the pipe is nearly 5 and a half inches.And a standard 1 is just over 5 inches.

We fitted one last week that was for 250mm pipe, probably cost more then your bathroom though

You was talking 40mm at the start of the thread, where does the 5.5 inches come in

A sink waste is bigger than 32mm or do you mean basin waste.
