How to connect to thin walled 32mm P trap?
I've got a chromed 32mm basin trap but the metal is very thin and a
compression 32mm fitting won't close onto it. The o/d is about 32.5mm whereas the spec for solvent pipe is 36mm o/d and push-fit pipe is 34mm o/d. This must be a standard problem with an easy solution for "them as knows". ??? Dave |

Dave A universal coupler/fitting is widely available to connect you chrome pipe to any other type of fitting. http://www.polypipe.com/polypipe/con...categoryID=312 is but one source. |

Thanks, but that just looks like a regular compression fitting, they won't close down sufficiently to seal on the pipe. Dave |
