Hi All,
I'm looking for some help having just replaced the basin and drain pipework in my downstairs toilet. The new drain pipework is 35mm chrome, and needs to connect to an existing 32mm plastic pipe which goes through the wall (this pipe was connected with a pushfit connection to the old plastic pipework). My problem is how to connect the 35mm chrome to the 32mm plastic outlet pipe - the new chrome pipe is perpendicular to the 32mm pipe, so needs to connect to it at a right angle. I bought this but quickly realised the plastic 1 1/4 inch solvent weld end is too big for the 32mm pipe I have:
McAlpine 32mm/32mm(Euro)-1.25" Adaptor 90Deg MCALPINE-ABS32/35A-CB (hertsplumbingsupplies.co.uk)
Is there nothing similar on the market, maybe with a pushfit or compression connection for the 32mm? Or even a 'sleeve' that I can solvent over the end of the 32mm pipe to 'convert' it to a 1 1/4 inch ready to be used with adapter I have? Can't seem to find anything suitable on the net. Obviously I'd like as much chrome and as little plastic visible as possible inside the room.
Surely I can't be the first person with this requirement. Replacing the pipe that goes through the wall with 1 1/4 inch would be a last resort as this would require changing it's connection with the main drain outside, as well as resealing the hole through the wall.
Please excuse me if I've used incorrect terminology as I'm only a plumbing novice!
Thanks in advance.
