I'm having a new level access shower room extension built. The shower
is built into the floor, rather than using a tray and will eventually
be tiled. The drains have been laid under the concrete floor using the
standard 110mm underground soil pipe. This terminates at floor level
in the shower area and the screed has been profiled to create a fall
towards the drain. The problem is that the plumber has produced a trap
that connects into the 110mm pipe OK, but it means that the position of
the shower drain is no longer exactly where the 110mm pipe exits the
floor - it's offset by about 200mm centre-to-centre. This means that
the profile of the floor in the shower area is now all wrong because
the shower trap is no longer positioned at the lowest point in the
shower area.

I have to discuss this with the builder to find out how he proposes to
fix it. I guess the simple option would be to position the shower
drain where it was originally intended to go - i.e. at the point where
the drain comes through the floor.

Is there a type of shower trap that can be set directly into a 110mm
drain? If not, it looks like this is a major cock-up that could
require the floor to be re-laid in that area.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Mike

McAlpine do an ABS tiled gully that has a 110mm connection, designed for a
vertical connection (ie it sits directly on top of the drain) I'm not sure
of the model number, but its available with either a white ABS or stainless
'tile' top 200mm square. About £65 ish from Grahams.

Neil,

Thanks for your help. The McAlpine TSG2T6SS looks like what I need.
Got to be better than digging the floor up!

I did a shower room like this a few years ago and got a trap that fits
into the 110 pipe.The top comes off for cleaning it.I think it was
McAlpine but can`t remember for sure.
