Sink Waste Pipe Connection

[johnsmith99]

Hi,

I have a McAlpine Double Appliance Trap White 40mm that connects my sink to the waste pipe, with one appliance waste connection.

I needed to have two appliance connections, so I upgraded to this -https://mcalpineplumbing.com/traps/domestic-appliance-traps-accessories/wm11-sink-trap-twin-135deg-domestic-appliance-nozzles

The problem is now that as the ubend is slightly longer, it doesnt match up with the height of the existing waste pipe.

Therefore I need a flexihose to connect to the ubend to the waste pipe to replace the part in circled in RED.

Any ideas what part would work ?

Thanks

Nope, don't use a flexi, recipe for disaster. Those parts of the trap may be a non standard sizes but you could try a male 11/2" end to fit that female nut but it also has to fit tight over the flange.

Is the new outlet higher than existing pipework?

Watch out, it's a trap!

1. Its a height adjustable trap.
2. Slacken the large nut above the longer leg of the U, and move the U up or down as required, then retighten the same large nut.
3. With luck, you should be able to match the height with the existing pipe.
4. If it doesn't work I'd strongly recommend you have the waste pipe height altered (i.e. hole in wall re-drilled and old made good) rather than bodge it with what would probably be an uphill connection.
