My bath waste will be going onto glued solvent weld 40mm pipe from bath trap. What's the preferred way to make this last connection?

Does a McAlpine straight connector let you slide it on to the straight pipe and then push it back to make that last join?

I seem to have forgotten how best to do it! Cheers
 
Trap outlet is a compression fitting ,and pipe goes into it ????
 
Haven't any pics as still to finish a tee and bend that the bath 40mm is to go into.

I'll only have a foot length of 40mm pipe from the trap so my concern was getting it into the fitting with little or no flex.

Should I just be able to cut the pipe to the correct length and not need to actually push it into the trap, will it seal up with the compression fitting ok without needing to slide into the trap?

Thanks for your help!

Light bulb just come on in my mind. I assume my very last connection is offering up the trap onto the bath waste outlet itself?

I was concerned about how best to fit the glued solid 40mm into the trap thinking the trap would be already fitted to the bath, but of course it wouldn't have to be attached to the bath. Pipe into trap compression fitting then offer it up onto bath
 
You have seen the light !!!! When the bath is in position , fit the waste trap and then make up the last section of pipe to suit. The trap can be taken off to attach to pipe ,then re connected if need be.
