Default Temporary flexible waste pipe

Adrian Ball wrote:
Hi all,

I'm renovating the kitchen, but working around the family at the same
time (i.e. keeping the kitchen working whilst doing the work). The
kitchen is large enough to be able to move the old bits around - so I've
plastered, plumbed (some) and done the electrics all round whilst keeping
the cooker, hob, fridge and some worktop all live by moving them around
in their (now) moveable housings!

I now need to shift the sink unit so I can level up the floor where it
sits. The new sink is destined for the same location, so I want to keep
the old one working whilst the floor is setting. I already have some
floplast flexible pipe ready for replumbing the taps temporarily, but
have drawn a blank looking for some flexible waste pipe (40mm). I'm
think that something like washing machine waste pipe, but wider, would
probably be available - has anyone seen such a thing?

Failing that, I'll just have to go with plan B, which is to reconnect
with longer waste - it's just it's easier to work round if the unit can
be shifted a bit as needed.

Thanks in advance!

Don't forget the solvent weld adhesive if you make up your own - which
is dead simple.

Works superbly. You could probably use it in a temporary setup and
re-use the same stuff in the final build - possibly changing an end or two.

You might consider HepVO waste 'traps' - I haven't used them in a
kitchen but have everywhere else. (Same page.)
