Waste size slightly smaller than inch and 1/4

[mikeyc]

Went to an emergency call out today at a hair salon that has a load of foreign basins and traps are all leaking. I need to change them out but my problem is that the waste shank is slightly smaller than inch and 1/4 - like almost fits.

Anyone know any other sizes it could possibly be or suggest where to start looking.

Cheers in advance for any pointers

1 1/4 push fit ?

No I mean the actual threaded shank on the bottom of the waste is smaller than 32mm so a 32mm trap is too big to screw on. Can't change the wastes as these are a god awful shape, size and design

Solvent 1 1/4" is 36mm, push fit is 35mm and Euro size is 32mm.
If it is Euro you will need an adapter like a mcalpine S28

Ok sounds like that might be my solution. Cheers fellas x

Might need to swap the wastes then

Don't think the thread size is any different tho, the euro just has a flat face.
McAlpine S12A-F coupling flush spigot (BSP) 1.1/4"

As tamz said if it was me i'd swap the wastes out in the sink to standard uk size
