Waste Connection to old Belfast Sinks

[arco]

Hello

I have two reclaimed Belfast sinks to fit in a kitchen, but am having problems finding a solution to connect the sinks' waste outlets (threaded metal,one with an OD of 52mm, one with an OD of 46mm) to modern 40mm pipe and plastic compression fittings. Any advice gratefully received!

Thanks

Have a look at the rubber "fernco" type couplings that use jubilee clips to tighten down, they are very flexible and will stretch/shrink quite a lot.

I was in a similar postion a while ago, customer with an old Belfast sink connected to a leaking lead trap and leaking iron waste pipe.
Ripped out all the pipes and replaced with plastic, new trap and new waste (see link). 🙂

Thanks both - I have ordered 2 of the fernco couplings that Nick recommended, and hopefully they will do the trick.
