Basin Waste too high.

[easyt]

I a fitting a bathroom basin which is semi recessed into units. I picked up a simple bottle trap but when I looked at the height of the outlet it would go straight through the bracing bar on the back of the unit. I have put an outlet hole in the wall about two inches lower to avoid the bracing bar. I think that you can get extenders to lower the trap position from the sink waste. Anyone confirm?

telescopic bottle trap, about £4 toolstation or skrufix. or use flexi pipe and make your own.

Thanks Redsaw. Just checked and Screwfix for £2.69 extends up to 100mm. Ideal.

I did try googling but wasn't asking the right questions 🙂

depending on access on the other side of the wall you could use a bent adaptor (screwed straight onto the whb grating with a short piece of pipe through the wall) then fit a hep2o in line non return valve

Thanks Kirkgas. The telescopic bottle trap looks ideal though.

Telescopic is a better fix than the waste extension, less joints to leak!

Send the bill for the extra parts required to the stupid cabinet makers,who should think about what their units are made for and design accordingly
