Need replace under sink waste pipes

[calibra]

Hello
The piping under my sink is B&Q and almost 20years old, it’s never been very successful, keeps popping apart, which is why there is a cable tie holding it together.

I can provide measurements if it would help

the main reason originally was to get two appliance connections, but these now go direct to the soil pipe via Non return valves, so just need a 11/2 bowl waste. The trouble is, the U trap is quite low, I bought an SK1 trap, but no way will it suit what I have, I just need something simple. I attach photos, but it could be too difficult to resolve via a forum, without seeing it close up, but fingers crossed, I can get some ideas.

In what way is the macalpine sk1 not suitable ?

It fits the two bowls but the u trap is a long way short of where the existing one is

Are you not able to extend the existing pipework with some pipe & fittings?

 

[calibra]

Yes that’s my challenge, I am hoping I can just extend the ultrap downwards with an extension piece, if so then not such a problem, will update tomorrow

No matter what is fitted, unless it's a like for like then invariably the existing waste pipe will always need altered to line up properly.

Thankyou, hadn’t seen this one

If I could find a way to lower the U trap, the rest would be ok, was told a FlexCon2 would work, but it doesn’t. Needs to be 30cm or a bit more length

adjustable height P trap from McAlpine - ASC10

 

[calibra]

Don’t think this will extend 30cm ?
What is the max it will extend please ?

 

[calibra]

Wonder if I get the SK2A plus the ASC10 if that will get low enough ???

Its 40cm from the sink waste connector to the bottom of the U trap.

just can’t work out if this will work ???

So impressed with myself, looks really good and no more leaks

Well done you - nothing quite like a satisfying job done well
