Another thing that has just occured to
me, the old waste pipe, the one I am Teeing into is 38MM diameter
(Outside) I know I have all sorts of fun and games when I did my
wetroom with different size waste pipes. Is 38MM common or will I have
problems with this and need to replace the lot?


Different manufacturers have different wall thicknesses, so there is
no answer to this question.


40mm compression waste fittings (rather than push fit) will accomodate
the
difference:

and then a 40-32 adapter

Both available at sheds.

Thanks Bob. Why would I need the 40-32 adapter? Could I not just buy a
flexi that will fit the equal T as is?


For the purposes of this setup, your existing 38mm is a small 40mm (the
current standards being 40mm and 32mm) NOT a large 32mm!. The new basin
waste will be 32mm. The T, therefore, is effectively in 40mm pipe and allows
a 32mm to join, hence the adapter. An unequal compression T 40-32-40 would
be ideal but I couldn't find one!
