Waste pipe solutions for freestanding bath with sides?

NEIL ROBINS · Sep 28, 2019

Looking for an easy solution to connect the waste outlet of the freestanding bath (solid sides) to the drain. Don't really want to use a flex waste connector as they block up and don't last long. Trying to connect the waste with the bath jacked up on wood is difficult. Locating everything isn't easy. Found this on amazing but it's from the USA. must be something available here? Must be hundreds of these baths installed weekly.

Stating the obvious why are you not using 11/2 inch solvent weld pipe onto a bath trap
deep if possible or shallow ...or am I missing something ?centralheatking

Mcalpine flexicon for me
With most fancy free standing baths there is no practicable other way

Just did mine free standing bath use shallow trap ,1 1/2 solvent pipe and glue didn’t use pushfit many times I’ve seen builders use pushfit and had to cut a hole in he ceiling below as it leaking especially when they’ve tiled it all 😝

I'm not. The picture is just showing an idea of how to solve the problem. I'm using 40mm solvent weld pipe.
