Hi all,

Next step on my plumbing journey is to work out how to get everything neatly plumbed under the sink, so it can be accessed.

Does anyone know what the horizontal manifold is called? I can't find it anywhere, but may be searching in the wrong place on screwfix/toolstation. The plan is to connect three spigets as shown by the orange to take a washing machine, dishwasher and condensate. In addition to the two sinks

This isn't my image by the way. Just an example of what I am aiming for!!

Thanks s turbo,

I should have explained. I have most of the parts, with some coming with the sink and I bought some spigets separately. Was hoping to source just the horizontal part. That connections is what I keep coming to so maybe it only comes as part of these kits?

Only come as part of the kit as far as I'm aware.

That looks like a Franke double sink waste kit - it all comes as one set, don't think you can get the parts separately.

The last person to ask about those grey fittings was not very happy with them:

Personally I've had some grey stuff that came with a sink from B&Q and I found it fell apart after a few years. Maybe the Franke stuff is better, despite also being grey?

Used one of those grey kits for a double sink- bit flimsy and non-standard diameter so mixing and matching is out. Also the joints tend to leak unless they're absolutely square

Yeah, they have lousy seals, especially the large flat seals that are used in the connectors onto the wastes where they are sandwiched between the 2 mating faces, they always end up being tightened up too much and deform then squeeze out, they never seal properly after that.

Also, putting that amount of discharge onto one pipe, you really need to increase the outgoing waste to 50mm. It's asking a lot of a smaller pipe, especially when it gunges up over the years.
