Apologies for what might seem a really simple question, but I really hope somebody can help me.
I recently changed my kitchen sink from being an overmounted one to and under-mounted one. Because the sink intrudes into the base cabinet more than the last one, I'm having real problems trying to adjust the waste pipes to fit the new sink.
The photo below shows the current situation (white pipe is old, the grey is the trap for the new sink).
Essentially, there is a 56mm waste pipe at the bottom, which splits into two 40mm pipes - one goes off to the right for the washing machine, and the other stands up for the sink. To be able to fit the trap for my new sink in, I calculate that I need to get rid of as much of the upstand as I can. Problem is that all of the old pipe is solvent sealed, so I can't just pull the upstand out, and I can just cut as low as I can and put a 40mm right angle push fit on what's left, because I don't think I would get enough room.
I've considered cutting the 56mm waste pipe and effectively replacing the lot, but I can't find anything that reduces from 56mm to 40mm in any of the major DIY stores.
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot!!
