I decided to replace the McAlpine Pedestal Trap 1 1/4" Anti-Syphon trap. However, despite various micro adjustments of the top Spigot nut and the bottom universal connector, I am not confident of the water tight integrity of the fitting. I fear this is due to the lack of alinement between the bottom of the waste and the connector to which the pedestal trap is fixed. Although the trap fits to gap perfectly, it is not seated correctly, despite whatever steps I take in an attempt to remedy the issue.
My idea was to cut the pipe above the bottom elbow and use an appropriate flexible connector, which hopefully would allow water tight connections to be accomplished at both ends. by implication, the alignment issues will hopefully be rectified. Advice as to whether this idea would work in practice and suggestions as the the specific component I should use.
I attach an image of the pipe and another to illustrate how much space I have available
All suggestions gratefully received.
