basin waste trap advice

[DannyH]

Hi

I'm struggling with finding a suitable product to do what I want, and hoping someone on here can help...

I have a hand basin fitted to a (solid) external wall, close (250mm horizontal) to the side of a bath. The waste from the basin needs to run sideways to meet up with other wastes under the bath. All pipework will be exposed, and space is tight, so I'm looking for a neat minimalist solution. Ideally I'd fit a chrome trap and waste pipe.

I was looking for a trap where the horizontal outlet will be below the height of the bath, so that I can run a single horizontal pipe from the trap with no visible connections apart from at the basin and at the trap itself. The centre of the outlet needs to be minimum 185mm from the bottom of the basin. I've attached a sketch of dimensions of what I'd like and a photo of the current (horrible but functioning) bodge.

Anyone know of trap with a long enough downpipe to allow this? Or any other suggestions very welcome.

Cheers

Danny

If it's on an outside wall, why not take it through to outside, and join up there?

You don't want a horizontal waste pipe!

Just saying!

I don't think you'll find what you describe, you need to fit an extension to the basin waste first.

Ten minutes with a kango and you could hide all the pipes in the wall.

Thanks for replies.

Re. going outside, would be good but the wall forms the property boundary onto a public footpath, so can't unfortunately.

Re. horizontal waste pipe, it's only 300mm to where it drops down close to floor level joining up wih the rest of the waste run which has a good fall - should be ok!

Re. basin waste extension - sounds like the way to go, but still can't find anything that looks like it would work. Probably asking google the wrong questions, any pointers or links to products would be brilliant.

Cheers

Try one of these, then alter your pipework to suit.

How about a pedestal trap?

Thanks again for replies.

Waste outlet extension looks the way to go, finally found one. Reckon this http://www.mcalpineplumbing.com/was...stes/1-188-cp-shroud-for-cp-basin-wastes.html with one of these http://www.mcalpineplumbing.com/tra...cp-brass-basin-kit-with-mini-bottle-trap.html will be pretty neat and give the drop required.

Plumbcentre do the trap, hopefully they can get hold of the extension as well as haven't seen them listed for sale anywhere.

THAT is really a rough a s s job indeed.
Dont go recommending that particular plumber to anyone .
You need ALL pipes concealing - which is easy .

 

[Charnwood]

The hot and cold pipes ought to have a couple more clips.

Well yes, best described as a horrible bodge, which I did. And I wouldn't reccomend the plumber - I wanted the basin to work one night with bit's I had in a box, and it does This post was all about finishing it properly - knew what I wanted but was struggling to find it, couple of pointers further up helped.

Don't think you do allways need things concealing if they're done right - whilst it would be easy enough to box in, I think boxing in often looks crap even if done well - I'd rather look at good pipework! Also, it's a very small space, so the more open things are the better. Could go back into the wall with a kango, but it's not the easiect situation to do it in without creating a lot of extra work (wall construction & levels), so hoping the solution I posted above will work and look good. We'll see...

I have to agree with you - I don't mind seeing pipework as long as it's well fitted and in a sensible location. Do take on board Charnwood's suggestion of a couple more clips though.
