Hi


I need to plumb in a sink, and I don't much like plumbing! So I have a
few qs...

There's an existing run of 40mm sovl weld waste that I need to tap
into, but I dont want to use more solv weld, and I gather compressions
arent compatible with solv weld pipe due to a slight size difference.
The present pipe is 42.5mm. Is pushfit compatible with this?

I plan to use microbore, since all the conditions seem favourable for
it. Any reason to choose between 8mm and 10mm? What min bending radius
should I stick to?

What do I use to connect the microbore to the taps?

Can I use sand instead of a bending spring?

Any recommended supplier for all the bits? Screwfix doesnt do
microbore bending springs.


cheers, NT


OK, a few final details before I get cracking tomorrow...

Do I need to put some kind of plastic washer under the tap, or can I
bolt it direct onto the porcelain?

10-15mm conversion: what can I do with a reducer set versus a 10-15
coupler?
