Saniflow compact installation

#14 I think.
Looks like I just need to reattach and tighten.

Don`t see #14, you talking about part J optional for connecting a handbasin?

It's the elbow siphon.

These are the parts causing issues.
Waste outlow with 32mm dia and sink inflow with 40mm dia. Neither work with U.K. Solvent weld.

They used to come all assembled, looks like more time saving cut backs in the factory then. No big deal as it can only go on one way and if memory correct there is a little line up cut out and lug to guide you. If using the basin connection then just cut the last 5mm or so off where the line is. (nice and square mind you).

Photo#1. Look at it carefully and it is stamped up for size of pipe, think you will find 28 & 32mm so slice the smaller section off with a new blade.
Photo #2 Is for the basin connection and is optional as discussed, low pressure inlet connection (for 32mm not 40mm from a basin)and rubber will compress with a jubilee clip.
Photo #3 Shows the floor brackets and all the jubilee clips you may need along with other bits.

I don't really want to be using compression on a waste pipe that handles human slurry under pressure !!!

wait til its blocked and you digging around in it

Re photo #1 it doesn't have that stamped on it and there is no configuration that will except a 32 mm solvent Weld pipe. Which has a 36 mm outside diameter.

Hugely annoying!

I'm going to admit defeat and return it for a refund. A terrible experience.

Just got one out of the van, cut it down and fitted it to 32mm solvent weld pipe for you (without using any lubricant !).

Thanks !
So to be clear the solvent weld pipe has a 36mm OD and the adaptor 'hole' 32mm and you just stuffed it in?
I just did that and the adaptor distorts a little and is very tight.

Hand on heart that is 32mm solvent weld pipe with O/D of 36mm and no I didn`t "stuff" it in I worked it in bit by bit until the pipe was in by 15mm, if you can`t get it in without distorting the rubber, soak it in hot water for awhile then put it on the pipe and if you look up the other end of the rubber part as per photo #3 you can see when it is fully in and nicely square to the pipe. Yes it is tight for a reason!

I think I'm convinced!
I do appreciate your feedback.
Makes sense as I was wondering how no one could understand the issue so maybe there wasn't one. The instructions could be better....

Aren`t they pictures in colour? It used to show a picture with pipe sizes and where to cut the connector saying that I walk away from Compact installations if I can`t convince the customer to go for a standard toilet with a stand alone Saniflo pump behind.

Yes cartoons but could do with some words...
Do you not fit them because they are fiddly?

Cartoons They aren`t fiddly but customers moan about the noise and from an engineers point of view there is too much to go wrong inside compared to the stand alone boxes. probably the only model I wouldn`t have in my own house tbh.
