Where do you buy your 40mm pvc waste pipes from? I'm struggling to find any.
Or do you just use the ABS solvent weld pipe and don't bother painting it? I haven't seen any painted!
im planning a separate shower cubicle and currently have my bath and basin joining into a 50mm waste pipe to the outside stack. Can I tee in my shower to the existing pipe. If not going to have to raise tray by 100mm due to joist layout.
Probably been asked before but will ask again. Am fitting out the utility room and having a quandry, if one can have such a thing, as to width of worktop. How do people get away with worktops 600mm deep if they have any sort of pipework going behind without appliances ie washer and dryer...

The waste pipe for our cloakroom sink is a vertical metal pipe coming directly out of the ground (I need to measure it, but it looks like it's around 32mm). I'm not sure what metal is and it's been painted, so hard to tell.
What is the best way of connecting the sink trap onto this – can I use...
Hi All,
I am a complete NOOB when it comes to plumbing so please bear with me and use baby steps lol.
I'm trying to plumb in a dishwasher but I am having a problem with the waste hose.
The hose is pre-fitted to the dishwasher so I can't remove it.
The hole at the end of the waste hose is...
Hi folks,
I’m putting in a new bathroom above the kitchen and need to route the waste from the bathroom from above into a 4” in the kitchen. Is there a limit to the number of turns I should be making before the 1.5” feed into the boss?
I ask because there’re a load of copper pipes running along...
Hi,
I have a washing machine that is too far from the waste connection so I'm trying to use an extension.
I'll map out what I have so far:
Tapered washing machine hose > outlet hose connector (secured both sides with a jubilee clip) > generic washing machine hose kit > waste spigot under...
Hi All,
Hope this isn’t too much of a silly question. I need help connecting my waste pipe from my dishwasher to the pipe under my sink. The pipe has three offshoots. One wider one goes to the sink and two smaller 1” pipes branch off at the side for the washer (currently connected) and now...

I feel like a right plonker and hoping for some help! I have a new Miele washing machine, it was plumbed into a standpipe but the standpipe was far too small (it's only around 12 cm long and is about halfway up washing machine), this is what the fitters told me. So I thought I would plumb it...
Hi all
Grateful for some guidance - I have a new integrated dishwasher and the waste pipe does not reach the trap. I have seen extension kits on sale but am confused.
The end of the waste hose from the dishwasher is I think the standard 22mm rubber end. There are plastic connectors available...
We're trying to fit a bathroom in the top floor (front bedroom) of our victorian house. We have a problem in that the bathroom on the middle floor is located at the back, so we can't use the same soil pipe. Fitting a new soil pipe to the side of the house is near impossible because it would have...
Hello All
Apologies for making my first thread a cry for help but this is perplexing!
New bathroom is being installed. This morning, about 10 days since the concertina style waste pipe was fitted, the plumber let water in to the new toilet cistern and flushed it. I realised it was leaking...
Hi all,
Bit of a novice with piping! I had to move my washing machine, and the new location has old grey waste pipe o/d 40mm, I/d about 36mm. I'm trying to reduce this to 32mm so I can hook up my 32mm drain waste to it. I bought a 40mm-32mm reducer and it's won't fit in. Any advice as to the...
Hi All

Hi folks, I'm new to the forums and looking for a wee bit of advice. Having recently bought a new home I've found a leak under the sink which needs repaired.
I have a 40mm PVC waste pipe going from the sink into a 110mm cast iron stack, which is packed with what I think is Plumbers Mate or...
I do quite a bit of work at a large Veterinary Clinic near me.
I've been asked to quote to do some more work. I need to fit a basin in the post op recover kennels. I have a cold supply, and they're going to confirm whether they need hot and if they do I'll use an instantaneous heater.
The...
