can someone tell me what pipe/flexi pipe for this waste

[coop5]

Hi guys.

Sorry to ask but I need to know the best way to connect this trap to my solvent waste.

When the trap is put together it is nowhere near the waste. I have tried to cut some more solvent pipe and elbows but I cannot get it to line up.

Don't really want to cut the carcus. Is there a flexi hose of some sort I can use which will screw into the waste then compress/weld on to the waste?


Cheers all

I have attached the trap 90° to the waste and I am left with this gap which my u bend won't fit.

Any links would be most useful.

Try Flexi Waste Pipe Fittings

Cheers mate. Tho that one won't fit my trap !?

If you mean the space between the two pipes, you can normally turn the trap to get enough space to add pipe/elbow. Sometimes have to use a 40mm street elbow or 45deg

If you mean that the heights are wrong and that the exit waste is too high you need an adjustable appliance trap

Try Flexi Waste Pipe Fittings

Whatever you do, do not use this one (from Screwfix for example). Only use McAlpine branded flexi's (if you really must use one at all).

The pictured one does not have the internal bore required by a kitchen sink, its about the equivalent of 1 1/4", at best. AVOID.

Cheers guys.

I would have thought I would have been able to get hold of a flexi u bend type piece of kit. At this rate I might just end up cutting a new waste access in the carcus

You can get solvent weld to compression flexi-connector.

Normally a male end solvent weld to a compression waste.

Is that what you are after?

Yes mate. Hopefully that will save me the hassle of moving waste

Just had a good look at your photo and I am a tad confused. Where is the solvent weld? I can only see compression.....

Anyhow, see link below. I've used the firm before and I would recommend them.

Thanks mate.

The I have screwed the compression end onto the solvent waste to show the gap I am left with.

The u bend part of my trap will obviously not fit.

So I am after a flex that will either go into the solvent waste and then into the bottom of the trap. Or to find a flex that will attach via compression at each end (to fit how it is in the picture!)

 

[Belboz]

You can get both (compression to compression and solvent weld to compression)

FWIW, easier having the solvent weld end in the waste exit because you can then unscrew the compression end from the bottom of the sink trap whenever you need to clean it.

Have a look at the link I posted.

Let me know if no good.

Nothing like doing job properly eh?

Try one of these:

And line it up properly?

Simple job.

 

[coop5]

Thanks mate.

That sounds bang on.

So I'll order one of these in 1.1/2 inch.
Solvent weld and compression onto trap!?

Cheers mate, can't believe wickes or screwfix don't have these

OP - have a look at what Dan posted.

Didn't read all your posts properly so didn't realise the actual U part of the trap wouldn't fit.

Thought you wanted a flexible connector from trap outlet to waste outlet.

The one you have selected says it can be used as a trap but I would hazard a guess that the ridges will not be as effective a smooth U (as carp will get in the grooves)

Up to you.

Yep - those corrugations will make a lovely breeding ground for smells and blockages.
