    Bath waste change

    So I've decided to spruce up the bathroom by changing the taps and bath waste. Taps in with a lot of fickering. Now the new waste is causing problems. My new waste trap has connected to the new drain no problem. But the opposite end of the waste trap is a female compression which won't attach to...

    The basin waste runs horizontally for about 2m in 32mm and the bath waste runs for about 1m before they meet and tee together. From the tee the waste pipe runs horizontally for about 2m in 40mm to the soil stack. If you look at the pic the top pipe with the level on is 40mm bath waste and the...

    Bathroom waste layout

    Hi! I'm currently planning a new bathroom and have a few questions, hopefully someone can help :) All of the coloured lines on the diagram are waste pipes. The red waste from the shower will be around 5 metres to the stack which is too much to meet regulations (3m for 40mm and 4m for 50mm)...

    Routing new shower waste

    Hi, I've got a problem which I can't see a solution to, a future customer of mine wants to add a low level shower where a bath used to be, the shower tray is 1600 x 900, this would require a 40mm waste to go below the floor, but the joists are not big enough to allow a 40mm waste to be drilled...

    Advice on leaking waste pipe connector

    Hi, Really hoping someone could advice me on a leak issue I'm having. We have a macerator type set up for our ensuite, that joins to the main soil pipe in the loft. The connector where the pipe from macerator meets the main soil pipe is not water tight, and therefore excess water is flowing...

    Hello, hope it's ok to post this here. I'm not a plumber or diyer just looking for advice. I live in a 3 bed terraced house built around 1955 and have found something on an old kitchen pipe that I am worried could be asbestos. It looks like cement, part of it is hard another part soft and...

    Where can I find this style sink waste basket?

    Please can someone help identify what style this is, or where I can find a replacement? One of the bungs on the base has worn off so it doesn't work properly anymore. I can't find this style anywhere!

    New sink waste

    Am trying to get my head around plumbing in my new 1.5 kitchen sink. The waste arrangement looks complicated, to my mind at least. Have attached photos to show how the pipework looks connected up as per instructions. I am not sure how one is supposed to do this as the pipework extends some 170mm...

    Best solution to slightly rising waste pipe problem

    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.

    Good Afternoon, some advice on waste fittings would be much appreciated.

    Good Afternoon, As you may guess in the following message, I am by no means a plumber. My colleague has specifically requested a solvent version of a 110mm 135 Degree waste union to finish a part of a project. I have been having difficulties finding it though. I have found this type of unit...

    Can't find correct replacement kitchen sink waste basket/plug.

    Our kitchen sink waste basket plug is broken and I can find one that looks the same type anywhere. I've attached pictures of the half sink plug for illustration, as it's complete and works the same way. This plug twists and drops to make a seal, or pulls up and turns slightly to stay in drain...

    Shower trap blocked but waste pipe is hidden

    Hi, Just moved into my first house and the waste water in the shower is only draining slowly. Soda crystal, baking powder and vinegar work for a few days but then it comes back. When I use them it kind of collects at the bottom and dissolves rather than go down to the blockage. I’ve tried some...
