    Sink waste pipe in hard to reach location

    Hi I have a new kitchen that was just fitted. The way the kitchen sink and pipes were sitting meant the main water pipes are in the cupboard under the sink, however the waste pipe is in behind another cupboard beside it.

    MuPVC waste pipe should NOT be solvent welded to ABS waste fittings. Why?

    In reality though, it's done all the time. Most don't realise it shouldn't be done and the reasons why. So why? What are the potential problems and the likelihood of those problems happening over time if an MuPVC to ABS joint is made and brought into service for hot and cold drainage? Is...

    Fitting a Blanking Cap to a redundant waste pipe

    Hello folks I have what seems to be a standard 40mm white PVC pipe that used to hold the washing machine drain hose, which I wanted to cap off to avoid any water overflowing from (as my kitchen drainage seem to get blocked up easily, and it will probably be replaced within the next year). I...

    Leak from toilet waste pipe from floor

    I’d be grateful for some guidance on the best way to fix a leak from my toilet. The leak doesn’t come from the toilet so presuming it’s the seal next to the floor and involves the 4inch waste pipe. I am replacing the toilet anyway and presume I need to replace some kind of flange at the base...

    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.

    Waste pipe on unvented blow offs??

    Hi all. I’m not G3 qualified but I’m sure I heard that the waste pipe should be push fit plastic rather than solvent due to temperature? Is this correct? Most cylinder installs I see the discharge is in solvent. Cheers

    Hi I want to replace the 32 & 40mm waste pipes that connect to my external soil stack, not enough fall so not draining.

    Waste pipe size query

    Hi, I have a basin trap that has a 35mm chrome waste pipe supplied. I was wondering if this can converted to standard 32mm pipe as the chrome isn't long enough. I seems odd that the Chrome pipe isn't a standard size? Thanks

    Calculating shower waste pipe fall

    Simple questions, I hope: When planning the run of the waste pipe from a new shower, do I calculate the fall from the shower tray surface or from the shower trap outlet? I'm working on a required fall with 40mm pipe of 18mm per 1m and I have a 2m straight span to cross. Is this correct?
