49mm OD Waste Pipe

[ReeceT]

Hi there,

I am sure I am not the only one who has come across this issue so was hoping the helpful chaps on here could help.

We are installing a shower and the shower waste fitment has a 49.1mm OD (tapered up to about 49.6mm) connection. This doesn't seem to fit any pipes I can find. Could I use a 50mm compression to achieve this, although both the push fit and solvent weld are bigger OD so worried about the connection integrity. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Reece

What's the ID? Got any photos?

Hi, the ID is 44mm and here are a few pics.

Might just go and but a normal round one if this proves to be complex.

Anything printed in the instructions on what to use/how to connect? Sometimes state a reducer is needed etc.

See if you can use this chart, it gives most of the sizes you'll come across in the UK.

The trouble may be that you have an imperial/European size not really destined from the uk market and you may just have to adapt with solvent weld, cement and a sleeve made out of 50mm pipe cut lengthways.

Where did you get it from?

Probably but may get busy around the tray outlet with a larger multifit and the required reducers.

Thanks, yeah that is the exact chart I was using. It was just from VidaXL.com so nothing special. The sleeve is a good idea.

Thanks Andy. Yes that would fit the shower end, but then I need to check if it would accept a 50mm waste pipe either push or solvent, if not will be looking at some sort of reducer type thing.

It would fit.

VidaXl.com is a US site I believe? If so then that's the issue, you will be dealing with an imperial sized pipe, all US pipe sizes are imperial.

If it ~49.6mm then it's a 2" pipe.

Cheers. So it's just under 2".

Depending on how accurate your measurements are, it's could be bang on 2" or as close as makes no difference.
