Chrome Bottle Trap - How Do I Secure The Waste Pipe HELP!!!!

[MrMagoo72]

Hi guys,

I thought I would be clever and purchase a cloakroom corner basin and chrome bottle trap from Ebay (turns out that wasn't the best of ideas). Anyhow, do you guys have any ideas on how to fit the chrome waste pipe to the 32 mm waste pipe (please see images that show the definate size differences). Thanks in advance

Cheers

You've going to have the sleeve it with increasingly larger pieces of pipe... it doesn't have to be marketed as "pipe" from your local builders merchant, but as long as it's PVC and it's cylindrical then the cement will stick it...


...Good luck!

Thanks Nozzle, I'm tempted to send the lot back as it doesn't seem fit for purpose (it's hard enough doing these jobs without the added complications). I'm guessing these types of traps are all the same???

Thanks again

You could try one of these

Send it back, it will never seal properly. Even the good ones have trouble sealing.

Can you measure the diameter of the chrome pipe and let us know? If that's 32mm white plastic then the diameter of the chrome is about 25mm which is very unusual, even for ebay.

If so you may have drainage issues depending on the basin usage.

HI Rob, I'm sure it's 32mm [white waste pipe]. I'll measure it up when I get home and post the measurements here. Thanks again.

The white pipe looks more like 50mm to me. If that is the case then one of these should work:

This is where I was going to get to, 40mm maybe, see what it measures out as

Jim, you are a star and if we ever meet I'm going to kiss you. Perfect, that way any leaks will be outside of my stud wall.

Thanks again

Guy's, do me a favour and take a look at my other post, need some advise on my soil stack

Correct me if I'm wrong but is the end of the chrome waste (in the white pipe) not just the end of a pipe with the chrome cover plate?

If it's 35mm then It would need to be fitted into a 32mm compression coupler

with a 35mm>32mm rubber reducer.

Or if solvent then the reducer with Jim's coupler

Thank you for all the advice guy's, getting there
