Just for the sake of learning - why would they cause problems? are these connectors not designed for this type of situation?

thanks just pumps...should i be running my 110 pipe further and coming into the top of it with one of these? http://diy.com/departments/floplast-ring-seal-soil-strap-boss-dia110mm-black/81521_BQ.prd

http://diy.com/departments/floplast-waste-adaptor-dia110mm-black/81131_BQ.prd or one of these?

http://diy.com/departments/floplast-ring-seal-soil-boss-adaptor-dia40mm-black/80961_BQ.prd do i put one of these in the end of my 110mm pipe and the secure my 40mm pipe into this?

Forgive my ignorance---why not? EDIT!!! - i have seen that the connection of the smaller pipe goes uphill!!! can i do that but in reverse - obviously! I mean is that the type of connection i need - only done correctly?

i ended up using a mixture of multi tool behind the stud to cut off the screw and brute force! it worked in the end, thanks for your suggestions :)

i have my 110mm SVP in the corner of the bathroom, i am looking at putting a 110mm drainage pipe along the floor to my toilet, further along that wall is my basin. Can i connect my basin waste (40mm) into the end of the w.c. waste (110mm) - if so, how??? i hope you can visualise my situation...

i was thinking of just crowbar forcing it off!!! thanks just wondered if there were any tricks of the trade to make it easier...

I am re-furbing and there is a timber stud full height with screws into party wall (brick) i cannot get the screws to move even slightly using an impact driver or a combi drill or my own delicate hand with screwdriver - any ideas how to get this shifted? thanks in advance Ed

where do i get them from Madrab?

what are ridiculous? the 's-connectors'? the shower came with them and i am not experienced enough to know i could have ditched them and use a different connection!!! maybe next time!!! haha, thanks again

cheers Madrab - already ruined 1 pair of washers by overtightening! i am going to try again this evening and not tighten too much. Will there be an issue that the 's-connectors' are not exactly 150mm centres? i can get the threads of the shower on and tightened - just wondering whether this may...

Hi there, having a few problems fitting a shower mixer bar. I have fitted backboard type connectors to a board between the studs. I then wrapped PTFE tape around the threads of the 's-connectors' and screwed them in to backboard elbows. I have screwed then in as far as they can go and they are...

So.....(big deep breath!)...next problem. I have cut a hole in the floorboards for the waste but where this is, there is no support for the tray. I was thinking of trying to get a piece of ply bove the pipes and fill the gap. This is tricky as the tray is now stuck down and the only access is...

so i presume that when i used the driwall adhesive, i just didn't put enough down - or it was too solid a mix to allow it to take with the underside of the tray. i put loads of the tile adhesive down - i used a 20kg bag with 3.5l of water for a shower tray that is 1390x900.

i did, it was from Victoria Plumb, i have since spoken to them and they said to lay a cement bed. I took BathsNGas advice and bought some floor tile adhesive ( http://diy.com/departments/mapei-large-format-powder-floor-tile-adhesive-grey-20kg/38143_BQ.prd ) and laid that onto a build up of 5mm...

It did not come with fitting instructions

Thanks, does that hold the tray in place? Is it that that 'glues' the tray down and stops it from moving?

So i have a large(ish) shower tray and a floor that is not level! there is roughly a 20mm fall over the length of the 1400mm tray. My idea is to build up in steps the floor with layers of 3mm plywood so that a spirit level will sit level when placed across the build-up. Then, i believe i need...

Yeah - 2 screws, i have since read reviews and that seems to be peoples beef with it...but others say it works great! I think i just gotta be careful not to over tighten them. No need for plumbers mait underneath then?
