Hi Folks
New to this forum and a little scared of plumbing, to be honest.
Anyway, maybe someone can help me here? We want to hook up a temporary kitchen sink as some major kitchen work is scheduled to be done over a period of some weeks. We have a oldish stainless steel sink which needs to have a waste trap connected and subsequent waste pipe, but I am having trouble working out how to make the connection to the undersink pipe.
The metal drain outlet pipe (or whatever it is called) from the sink is 20mm long and its internal (bore?) measurement is 35mm. The outer diameter (including the threads) is 40mm. The gap between the threads is 2.5mm.
All the plastic waste trap fittings I have (and presumably available in the shops) for a 35mm bore have an outer diameter which exceeds 40mm, albeit I gather these are known as 40mm parts.
How should I proceed - can I get an adapter to sort this, or should I do what my wife suggests and put a new sink doofer in the sink hole?
Thanks .....
