I've got a free standing bath with a chrome overflow tube running down the back that seems to be in 26mm (measured with a vernier). I need to mod the overflow run slightly because the connection between the overflow and the waste that comes out of the back of the bath foul each other in the configuration i need. I need to rotate the waste/overflow connection by 45 degrees so that the waste and the overflow aren't on top of each other as the shallow trap i need to fit above the floor is fouled by the overflow.
Changing the configuration isn't really an option as the 'free standing' bath is actually going to be enclosed on three sides and access from underneath is also not possible.
Is 26mm readily available in any format?
If not, my only other option is to cut the 26mm and connect it with a piece of flexi pipe, specifically the pipe that you get in a normal bath overflow kit. The flexi fits fairly neatly inside the 26mm chromed brass pipe and i'd make to make the join with silicone. But i'd rather do the jop properly with compression fittings as access to this conection will be virtually impossible without removing the bath in the future.
