Kitchen waste pipe help

[Taryn Hauritz]

Hi everyone.

I'm totally new to plumbing and have managed to attach a new kitchen sink but don't know how to deal with the waste pipe. I don't want to mess around with what's already there, but just need a way of attaching my grey ikea trap to my black 40mm waste pipe, which is quite high.

Could someone please advise as to what connections I should buy? (Please don't tell me to scrap the IKEA trap as I've heard all that before).

Thanks a lot!

Taryn

By the way, I know the photo is wrong as the water will settle in the white pipe as is...

thats the problem with ikea you realy need the waste directly belowi would use a 1 1/2 to 2 inch reducer on to the waste pipe and a 2 inch elbow both in multifit

If IKEA continue to sell their," mickey mouse", pipe sizes, they should at least supply a conversion fitting so normal 40mm can be used.

Did you not read my second post? I know this is not correct...I have NO plumbing waste pipes attached in my flat and need to wash my hands! I attached any fittings I had!!

Plumbing disaster under your kitchen sink. That will stink and leak soon

Needs a plumber rather than advice

Looks like it's already connected, what's the problem?

Looks like a Bodge but don't see why it won't work as longs it's all falling the right direction

Scrapped the ikea trap and the replacement took seconds to fit and all seems to be working well!

Much better, well done. Small gripe would be that flexible waste connector but this is our job so we would moan. Haha

Well done
