waste

I've bought this product: https://www.screwfix.com/p/mcalpine-shower-trap-chrome-effect-90mm/45503 It comes with a 135 degree bend. I would like it to come with a straight connector instead as I don't have space for it to fall at that angle and laying it on it's side seems crazy to create an...

Hello - first post - and I’m a have a go diy-er! our old bath got a crack it the bottom so I’m replacing with a new bath. All is well apart from: 1. There’s a gap between the tiles and the top of the bath at the tap/shower/plug end where the previous bath must have been higher. The bath is a...

I have a dishwasher and washing machine in a utility room off the kitchen. There are 2 separate waste pipe connections on the main pipe and I'm wondering if this is correct? Photo here It looks to me (as a very unqualified person!) as though if the dishwasher waste pipe flows downward the water...

Hi guys. I moved into a house where the kitchen was moved from an upper floor to the ground floor, at the back of the house, so there was no existing soil pipe near to the kitchen double sink and dishwasher. In their infinite wisdom, the plumbers who set this up ran a very long length of waste...

My upstairs sink is drained by plastic pipework. Measuring the external diameter is 43.5 mm. That then goes into what looks like a 2 inch iron pipe to a cast iron stack. It has been grafted in using putty which weeps continuously despite numerous re bodges. Any advice on how to fix this...

Hi, I’m trying to connect up a kinetico 2020c (was in house when we bought, previous owner knew very little about it other than adding salt blocks) I recently installed new sink & waste trap, from IKEA. (lillviken, double waste trap) the kinetico waste hose was previously connected directly in...

Are these universal? So many for sale but will anyone fit or should I get a frankie kitchen sink plug? Mine has lost the catch so falls in blocking the water so don't say in drain position. Thanks

Hello New here and just as the title suggests. My shower tray is leaking. I've shown photos of it and highlighted where it's leaking in red. I definitley know it's leaking from there because when I gently pour water onto that very bit and I get Mrs G to watch through a hole in the kitchen...

Evening, I have a large airing cupboard that as water and power (hot water cylinder replaced with combi boiler) but no waste. The bathroom is next door, so drilling a hole for the WM waste to exit there is feasible. I have a "universal bottle trap" that can connect to the 32mm basin waste, and...

Hi all, I started like most with the intention of doing a small DIY job and replace the bath. Not a biggy I think, I’ve managed before! Until I realise what’s hidden under there from the previous owner! Now I’m not sure what to do... It could be something very simple that I’m missing or a big...

Morning all, For some reason I have had multiple calls recently about installing "Garbage" disposal units for customers, (I assume some "influencer" on social media has one) Seem straight forward to fit but I don't actually know, or know anyone that knows much about them. Is there anything...

Hey folks, I have an old 42mm weld type waste in my bathroom floor. I have attached a flexipipe on to it (see photo). However, even after doing it up tightly, I am able to wiggle it off. Any suggestions? Many thanks!

Hey folks, the following trap came with my shower tray: https://mcalpineplumbing.com/traps/shower-traps-accessories/st90cp10-hpc-2-90mm-hi-flow-shower-trap It has a 2in multifit outlet. First off, what is multifit? The waste pipe i need to connect too is a 43mm (outer) diameter solvent weld...

Hello The new upstairs loo has been plumbed into the downstairs soil pipe. Often we are getting some of the waste from upstairs make a journey into the downstairs loo. Not ideal. I have just moved where the pipe enters the existing pipe by 30cm down stream and this has not helped much...

Hi, I’m looking to replace my old soil waste pipe adapter in my kitchen. The old one is old and rusty and looks terrible. The pipe that feeds into it is 40mm what’s the best way to go about this or is it best to leave it alone? Pic attached. Thanks in advance.

recently had to change the plug on a handbasin with a chrome bottle trap. The chrome pipe easily pulled away from the waste pipe (within tiled wall) On putting back together I have the following problem. The internal diameter of the white waste pipe in the wall, a 90 degree elbow, is 30mm...

Hello. Im fitting a fancy chrome waste trap and pipe which is listed as 35mm OD to a 40mm solvent weld waste pipe system. And of course they don't line up completely so some flexibility would be nice. Could anyone recommend a specific product that would allow me to do this. Thank you

Hi there, This is my first post but I do often refer to this forum for answers others have already asked! Given the current abundance of spare time I now have at home I’ve decided to push on with a downstairs cloakroom extension I started last year. When I set out the footings and put the...

I want to add a bidet to the family bathroom. Can the waste be plumbed into the bath waste or must it go into the soil pipe?

I am installing a new bathroom and the waste pipes for the toilet, bath and sink will be going under the floor of the adjoining bedroom, which is above the garage. The joists are running the correct way and the garage has no ceiling, so there isn't a problem with the drop. It will look...
