Shower waste install

[Royston99]

Hi I'm fitting a shower tray and am just having a bit of trouble with the waste. I've included some pics. I understand I've made it with little room for maneuverability which I think is my problem.

Anyway any tips appreciated. I cannot change the tray or change it's orientation.

have you thought about a flexy con to sort it.

90 with a street 90 ? / 45 with a street 45v

Thanks for all information guys, here's where I'm at, would this work, is this acceptable ? Building regs needs photos as it's an additional bathroom that's being fitted so it has to comply.

Thanks

i don"t do bathrooms, but looks good to me, just make sure you have good solvent weld joints, run water through before fitting tray.

I would rather see swept 90s than the knuckle bends you have used (at least for one of them if you possibly could, perhaps a street swept 90 if they even exist) so you can get a drain snake down the pipe if you need to but I don't know that you can really do better than what you have done in that limited space.

Right here's where I'm at, I've taken all the advice on board and have 2 scenarios now which I hope are ok (not ideal but ok)

One is with 3 swept bends, the other 2 swept bends and 2 45's.

If I go this way might I have a problem with the shower not draining properly ? I don't have an issue with the fall it's just the location of the waste.


Thanks guys !

Any reason why your not putting the pipe straight into the trap eg not using the supplied 45 ?

40mm pipe won't fit directly into the trap connection ? It's smaller.

Both solutions at post 7 look good to me, though I think Shaun may be leading to a better still solution...

Strange they normally go in
