Hi all,

As a temporary measure whilst I'm installing a new bathroom, I need to
bodge a 43mm waste pipe to a 3/4" overflow pipe. I figure I can get away
with this if I run the shower in short bursts so it won't get the chance
to back-up. And like I say, it's only temporary.
I don't suppose for one minute there's a proprietary adaptor that will do
this, so how best to bodge them together?

An adapter would put the pipes concentric giving a place for the water
to loiter and get quite smelly.
I'd be inclined to silicone the 3/4 to so it's on the bottom of the 43mm
to join the two and provide most of the water sealing then liberally
duct tape the joint to support everything a bit more and provide an
extra layer of security against seepage.

You'll also have far less fausty water in the pipe when you separate it
to do the job properly.

Should last and be relatively easy to clean off if you have to keep the
existing pipework.
