Thanks ETAF. That connector looks like the straight equivalent of the right angle one I ordered - I assume that your existing outgoing plastic pipe was solvent weld 1 1/4, which mine isn't, which is where my problem lies, I need to somehow convert my existing 32mm pushfit pipe, to 1 1/4 solvent...

Hi All, I'm looking for some help having just replaced the basin and drain pipework in my downstairs toilet. The new drain pipework is 35mm chrome, and needs to connect to an existing 32mm plastic pipe which goes through the wall (this pipe was connected with a pushfit connection to the old...

Thanks that's great, should work a treat!

I have a question about laying engineered floor in my small hallway by the front door. The flooring is 18mm engineered wood and I've already laid it throughout the rest of the downstairs. The hallway is currently tiled and these are staying in place as it provides the correct level for the new...

Hi, I have a predicament with the fitting of the waste to my new freestanding bath. I have bought an exposed chrome waste & overflow kit, but where my installation differs is that the waste drain is through the floor between the feed pipes at the tap end, rather than under the middle of the...

Thanks for the replies. What I don't understand is why the water in this pipe always returns to this same level, regardless of how much or little the toilet is used. Surely if it were blocked, it would eventually drain away if left, or back up badly if used a lot but it doesn't?? The level in...

Here are some pics to help illustrate it. The first picture below shows the toilet with the waste pipe removed, the pipe where it drains through is at the left of the image. The second photo shows the level in this pipe about 4 inches below ground level. free image hosting upload images

I'd really appreciate any ideas as I could really do without having to call out a plumber and want to make sure I've tried all I can first. My toilet (downstairs) has been draining very poorly for a couple of weeks now, it eventually removes the waste after several flushes, then sucks the level...
