Bath trap connection

[Yanni]

My bath trap is too high in relation to where it needs to be connected, I’m stuck!

Is there anything I can do other than going round the back and then forward with L-connectors ?

Thanks

Use a flexible waste pipe ,and alter the position of the trap to suit.

Can't you just re-work the waste pipe?

I don’t like the ridges on the flexible connectors as they accumulate dirt.

I think of using a bent like in the photo, shall I go for a wide bent or a normal one as it is underneath the bath and don’t want to open it for cleaning.

Please ... Please .... Please .... don't use push fit, if you can't use solvent weld then worst case use McAlpine compression fittings.

Push fit is not good a good system long term, the seals harden and flatten over time (hot/cold/hot) and if they are then disturbed they will leak, 99% guaranteed.

Yanni, as a landlord why don't you hire a Plumber to do this for you?

I did had someone coming but they are all too busy and the tenant is moving in two weeks!

I'm sure there is more than 1 Plumber in Manchester.
