Waste pipe leak w/ picture

I bought an Ikea Udden sink console and am trying to fit its grey waste hose to the origional white waste pipe that comes out of the wall.

I have used a pipe coupling to join the waste hose to the white waste pipe but it did not fit perfectly to make a water tight fit, so I used some Marley Solvent Cement KS2 to bond the joint. But now it is leaking a small amount at both ends of the coupling.

There is a lot of tension in the grey waste hose which puts too much pressure on the joint. I think this is why it is leaking. You can see I have had to use a brown box at the bottom of the picture to prop up the waste hose so that it bends enough not to sag.

I am only a novice and am unsure what is the right way to join the hose to the pipe.

I was thinking of "packing" the coupling with some sort of liquid pipe compound to make the joint tight and solid so that it can withstand the pressure the tight bend in the waste hose is putting on it and not leak

I'd bin that cr*p and fit a descent mcalpine trap etc.

Who fitted that ? same bloke that fitted your tap supplies.

Get a descent waste trap.

And a descent 90mm waste/overflow.

If the coupling doesn't fit the pipe, then it's the wrong coupling for the pipe.

Push-fit and solvent-weld waste pipes are made out of different plastics, so solvent-weld adhesive won't work on push-fit pipe. They are made slightly different sizes to help stop anyone from trying.

Likewise, the flexible pipe in the other end of your coupling is an unknown plastic, and may not suit solvent weld.

A universal compression fitting will unite the different materials properly, but I agree with seco - bin that device, and fit a proper waste trap.

Shortening the section of pipe sticking out the wall will help relieve some of the load from springing the flexi so tightly, but you would probably need to enlarge the hole in the wall, and push the coupling into the cavity to get it sitting right, and that isn't a good idea either!

You've tried to join two incompatible pipes. If you haven't destroyed them with the solvent weld you may get away with something like http://www.screwfix.com/p/universal-compression-waste-straight-coupling-40mm/11980

Thanks for the replys all.

I have bought the universal-compression-waste-straight-coupling-40mm that swbjackson suggested and it fits the white waste pipe. But it does not fit the grey ikea waste hose properly. It is the right size (40mm) but it does not lock in when the coupling is tightened.

Is there a sealent product I can use? I could use a totally new waste/overflow like seco services said but I would rather just use something to make the join nice and solid.

Oh dear, I'm guessing this is a park home?

 

[uziman]

would this seal the compression joint do you think?

No

Lovely bit of plumbing

Follow the advice and buy a proper waste kit. Ikea plumbing fittings are the devil's dangleberries.

This why I don't use Ikea plumbing fittings, you are better off buying all new, you will spend more time and money messing around! Just bite the bullet and start again! Listen to the sound advice given!

I would connect an earth to the sink aswell!
Shocking!!
