Would this be possible?

[bettz1]

Nope, I'd just cut the 45 of the stub of pipe out of the floor, then glues on another one, turned towards the corner then glue on another one to bring it back vertically, where the back corner of the unit will be, then take it straight up and then a swept bend and then into the P trap. yes, cut eh skirting to where the unit will be, so it ends up tight to the wall

Solvent Weld (SW) is a solvent cement (glue) that sticks ABS pipes and fittings together, just as your 45 is attached at the moment. Fit it all dry to get it all lined up before gluing, pencil mark it all so you know where it all needs to fit together

Thank you.

I'll see what it looks like when I start taking the tiles up. I'm nervous that if I mess it up I won't be able to revert it back, but I do like a challenge haha.

I've never used SW before I've done basics like add isolation valves etc and re plumb under the sink.

I think seeing the parts would help.

Thought I'd try chatgpt and it came back with this using your description.

 

[Madrab]

Excellent, like that would work well.

How do you get chatgpt to do that so well? Is that purely a description typed in, never use AI to any degree TBH.

 

[Madrab]

OK, something similar to this



So out the floor and a 45 deg immediately to take the pipe back to the corner with another 45 deg to bring it back vertical, then up to the level of where the trap will be then a 90deg to bring it horizontal over to the traps outlet.

Chat gpt is great for alot of stuff, but not plumbing haha I just copied your description and put a picture of the current basin

Thank you that helps me picture it, I don't suppose you've got a pic of the 45s atm I can picture it in a V shape.

 

[Madrab]

This is the 45, it's actually called a 135deg obtuse but for all intents and purposes its a 45deg bend

So 2 of them @ 32mm then a straight piece of black 32mm ABS solvent weld pipe up to the level of the trap.

Then one of these, a 90 deg swept elbow

to bring the pipe horizontal, then another piece of 32mm pipe out to where the outflow of the trap will be

Thank you. I'm just adding stuff to my screwfix basket atm

I was going to say is there any difference with 32mm vs 40mm,also the bottle traps 50mm vs 75 water seal.

Also would you just use SW or switch to compression after the straight

Appreciate all the help

 

[Madrab]

SW all the way, compression is easy but bulky and I don't think you get it in black.

32mm is the size for basin waste pipe, 40mm is for sinks, baths. showers etc.

50mm seal is the min to comply if going with a bottle trap, P trap is a standard seal depth @ 75mm, either is acceptable. Get an adjustable height trap and that will give you a bit of flexibility when coming to fit.

Thank you all ordered lets see if I've got the bottle to attempt it

I've just thought, what would be the best way to connect to the bottle trap as its compression, and my joints are SW, would I be able to use some of the 3m black pipe and SW into the 90?

 

[Hugh Jaleak]

Yes, you need a section of pipe to go from the elbow to the trap. Remove the nut, O ring and conical washer, slide them onto the waste pipe ensuring correct order and orientation of the conical washer, fit the pipe snugly into the outlet of the trap, then using the nut, slide the O ring and washer to meet the leading edge of the trap outlet before tightening the nut. Hand tight is ample.

Is it worth using solvent cleaner? Or could I just use iso to clean?

I always preferred some fine steel wool as it gives a good key for the glue.

A quick rub with 180grit paper to take the shine off the pipe and a wipe with a cloth would do the job.

 

[bettz1]

Thought I'd mention this as I've just removed the radiator cover to start getting the tiles up and it looks like it's leaked.
