Russell griffiths Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I’m not sure if I’m looking at this funny, but what is that long telescopic bit between the waste and trap. (expletive deleted) that off in the bin fit the trap up tight chuck that nasty compression fitting that is in the wall in the same place you threw the trap join the new trap to the wall with a couple of solvent weld bends. Baboom job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baboom job done. I did a poo poo . The waste outlet on the wall is 40mm so I need a compression reducer to get it to 32mm . Prefer compression at this point as it’s all accessible . Once i solvent weld anything off the 40mm I’m committed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could stick that in the wall outlet .But I’ve still got limited space to get that higher so the trap is higher ( so not hitting the drawer ) .

Pocster Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 Thinking ( not on site ) If I put a solvent weld reducer in then a 90 degree tee . Length of vertical pipe - another 90 degree tee welded on the top . Would allow the trap to be higher and avoid the drawer . It might fit ....

Pocster Posted January 20, 2021 Author Share Posted January 20, 2021 Think I’ve solved it . Was far fiddler than I thought . Nothing glued yet !! Compact bottle trap - and some very tight fittings .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Does the drawer close? If so that should do nicely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted January 20, 2021 Author Share Posted January 20, 2021 You b a s t a r d !! Fitting just catches the drawer - can’t angle it any further . Bottle trip clears by 1 mm ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe90 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Can you not get another 135’ bend on instead of that 90’ bend?, all in line then???. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another 135 and they are too far out of alignment. I’m ‘bending’ the 40mm outlet pipe to the max as it is .

Onoff Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I'd remove the plastic U trim and get a bit of iron on grey trim. Heat it up and apply with a wallpaper seam roller. Actually.....I'd remove the plastic U trim. Clamp a sacrificial board to the drawer back. Drill a tad deeper with the appropriate sized Starrett. Refit the trim. ?

When they design these cabinets I guess they really don’t think about getting the trap and pipework in - bloody idiots !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of interest I went and looked at the bathroom vanity unit I’ve yet to install - think there will be much more space . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe90 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I did learn to dry set up basins etc to work out exactly where all pipes should be . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
