Hi all -

Bit of a wait to get a plumber round so was hoping someone could help. Have a vanity sink unit with two drawers, one that runs close to the sink trap. The previous trap has failed but was quite short, and I can’t find any as short. Even the ‘shallow’ trap sold my screwfix is hit my the drawer. Anyone could a solution for a space saving connection here to allow for drawer clearance? Thanks!

thanks! Unfortunately I think the top one is slightly too long and the bottom one looks hard to get hold of where i am. If I got a flexible waste (not one with a built in trap system such as the bottom) would it work if I bent it into my own shallow u bend?

Hi all - apologies for the late reply, my wife has unfortunately been unwell and in hospital. I’ve attached a photo of what was there - I basically had to remove it to move the sink for retiling and putting it back in has just turn the thread - the plastic is so thin and cheap. I’m guessing they used this because nothing else fit but hoping there’s another option.

Hello Dylan

I hope your wife is doing well.

What Madrab suggests I think will work but you may have to use 2 or 3 other fittings and some 32mm pipe.

thanks for the reply and sorry for my late response. The problem I’m having with that is the shortest waterless trap I can find is the mcalpine one he posted which is still slightly too long. Im now seeing why maybe they used a flexible waste pipe and made their own ubend (like I posted). Is that advisable?
 
How about this. View attachment 200613
It's a very small trap

Thanks but unfortunately that's the first one I bougth and it's about 10mm too long. Currently still my best option but involves me cutting into the drawer which is a bit annoying as its plastic so will never look neat
 
But the thing he's replacing isn't a trap either. It's one of those bent in an S shape...

Yes, and the OP has already said he could do the same thing again. I think he is looking for a better solution.
