Hi gang,

Is there such a beast as this?

I need an adaptor to convert from a push-fit 1.25" waste elbow to a 1.25"
solvent waste elbow. So basically the connector I'm looking for will be
essentially a solvent waste coupler with one end of slightly wider
diameter than the other. Couldn't find anything like it in BnQ yesterday.
Any constructive ideas?

cheers.

Universal compression elbows?

You can get a multi fit compression connector, but you need to go to a
proper plumbers merchant.

Hmm. They're a bit ugly, though, aren't they? The position is highly
visible where it has to go, so I'd like it to look as slim and
unobtrusive as possible...

Depending on the material, it's possible to shrink-fit one pipe over
another with judicious use of heat.

I had the same problem, and couldn't find anything (even from
non-sheds). None of them could get their head round why anyone would be
wanting to make a joint between the two different systems. I solved it
with a gadget from Screwfix, which was in effect a three inch rubber
hose with a screw clip (very appropriate) each end. It was quite
expensive, but was delaying the job.

I eventually scored via ebay! Not cheap, though. Five quid a piece!
Still, it would have cost me more in time alone if I'd have had to make
one up from an ally alloy billet on the lathe, so mustn't grumble!
