Shower trap compatibility problem - megabad.com order

[Donegalsd]

Hi all,

 

I just had a text from my plumber saying - this piece, from a megabad shower tray isn't compatible with irish fittings. It's for the the shower pictured below too. I'm not a plumber so any help would be appreciated.

@Donegalsd You cut the larger section off with a hacksaw, immediately after the 50mm section reduces to the 40mm section, and fit 1&1/2" compression onto the resulting smaller bore

Thanks,

 

The plumber says 

 

Ok, I will try this….it should actually work. I got a 2” mechanical coupling to go onto the larger part of the bend but it wouldn’t work due to an inner sleeve that the fitting has whereas the smaller 1 1/2” fitting doesn’t have this.

 

Which sounds good.

 

Thanks a million - I have already ordered the wrong cage for the wall hung toilet, so hopefully it runs smoothly from here. ?
