Hi

Just wondering if someone can help with the following.

I have a 36mm waste pipe coming straight out of the wall below a small hand basin, to which I want to connect a 32mm pipe from the basin trap. Fairly straight forward you might say - use a multifit or universal connector. However, the space between the sink trap and the waste pipe is about 2 inches max.

Any suggestions for a product or something I could do to fit this? I was thinking maybe a combined push-fit/solvent weld fitting - the 36mm pipe is a solvent weld pipe I believe - but I can't find anything on the market like this.

Many thanks for any help

Chris
 
can you not cut one of the sections back slightly and install something like this?

Thanks - unfortunately there just isn't enough room for one of those.

After way too much research on t'internet and blank looks from the first plumber's merchants I visited, the second suggested a McAlpine part, which is part solvent weld and part chrome compression fitting which I should be able to fit over the outgoing waste after some wall 'adjustment.' Thanks for your help!
