Pocster Posted March 8, 2020 Posted March 8, 2020 My bathroom sink waste will come up through the stud wall . The sink is wall mounted I.e you can’t see the waste . How do I position the waste in the stud wall ? . I could be too high or maybe too low to join exactly to the sink trap . Do some traps have adjustments to raise / lower ?? Hope my questions clear ! ?
Russell griffiths Posted March 8, 2020 Posted March 8, 2020 Depends on the sink has it got a pedestal? is it in a wall hung vanity? or is it just a wall hung sink with a fancy chrome waste. If the last one I would get the brochure for the sink and the waste, some wastes have an extending neck so can go up and down
ProDave Posted March 8, 2020 Posted March 8, 2020 I am doing this right now in my own en-suite. I have built the unit that the basin will go on, so with that stood in place and the basin on it with the trap fitted, trap at mid point of it's height adjustment, I marked on the wall exactly where the waste pipe needs to exit. Then I fitted the waste pipe to a coupling that sticks half way out of the wall to join the tail pipe from the trap into and plasterboard the wall. I will take some pictures later and update my en-suite thread. 1
PeterW Posted March 8, 2020 Posted March 8, 2020 If it’s not seen you just need a telescopic bottle trap Same in chrome if visible. 1

Awesome ! .It is a wall mounted vanity unit the sink sits on . As I have to tile walls first was worried where I place the waste in the wall . This certainly reduces the error margin

Onoff Posted March 8, 2020 Posted March 8, 2020 I did a dry run, positioned the sink on the pedestal and sorted the solvent weld waste before I boarded and tiled the wall. I had to guess the floor tile height. Thought I'd be spot on. I wasn't! Also the standard McAlpine siphon trap clashed with the waste. I bought a second telescopic McAlpine waste and made one out of two i.e a telescopic, anti siphon trap! Telescopic as @PeterW says should account for any discrepancies! 1
ProDave Posted March 8, 2020 Posted March 8, 2020 It pays to have ALL the parts, basin AND trap, them do a mock up of exactly where they will go. 1
Pocster Posted March 11, 2020 Author Posted March 11, 2020 Hmmmm Floor to top of unit 87cm - sink is about another 10cm That seem too high ??
Pocster Posted March 11, 2020 Author Posted March 11, 2020 Floor to top of sink is 41” not allowing for 20mm of finished floor Too high . I think maybe 36” will be better . Anyway must go and panic buy wine and steak now

More importantly perhaps for SWMBO, who is usually shorter, and would not appreciate needing a beer crate to stand on in the new bathroom. Edited March 11, 2020 by Ferdinand 1

Just got home and measured bathroom sink and ensuite sink to floor ; both around 34” If I do the same I can’t be wrong ....

Downstairs 36" to the top of the sink. Both sinks about 5" depth. If you are concerned afterwards you can just take off the kitten heels. Ferdinand Edited March 11, 2020 by Ferdinand 1

Unprotected toilet rolls on show like that are likely to attract burglars. Mods: Feel free to delete my quoted photo on security grounds if need be. Edited March 12, 2020 by MJNewton 3

I’ve set myself up to be burgled ! . They’ll leave the sink and walk on glazing ( unfortunately) just knick the bog rolls ! Edited March 12, 2020 by pocster 1
Pocster Posted March 16, 2020 Author Posted March 16, 2020 ok ; I seem to need something that lets me connect the sink plug to the waste .... ?

PeterW Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 Looks like you’ve got the wrong bottle trap - that’s a 40mm and basin sinks use 32mm. Can use an adapter to take it to 40mm where required. 1 1
