Acrylic Bath Waste
Hi,
I am just installing my roll-top acrylic bath and I have go standard bath wastes. The problem is tht because acrylic is thicker than a steel bath (my acrylic bath is 10mm thick) the overflow part of the waste doesnt have a long enough thread to allow the grill bot to catch and screw on. I have looked around all the DIY sheds nd cant find any that have longer threads, they all seem to be standard. Does anyboy know where I can find one with a longer thread? I'm sure they must exist as these baths are quite common! Thanks Tom |

I have just installed a quality fibreglass bath and there was only just enough thread on the overflow. However you could have rendered the question pointless by googling for: "10mm overflow bath" ! -- Bob Mannix (anti-spam is as easy as 1-2-3 - not) |
