![]() "Joe90" wrote in message ... Thanks, now I know it's possible I have had a look in City Plumbing and they had the MacAlpine equivalent - looks like it will be fine. Has a compression fiting each end so the issue of joining PVC to ABS is avoided too. Hi Joe, I suggested the Heplex because I thought it was a significantly better product than the standard corrugated wastes - which are thin walled and corrugated inside and out - so inclined to collect sludge inside, and possibly crisp up and crack over a long period . Like you, I was plumbing a shower that I really didn't want to have to access for many years, as it would require major surgery to wall and floor tiles. And, all of the cheaper flexible wastes have a shortish length, meaning that there would be another joint under the shower - and I liked the idea of the heplex coming in lengths that would allow me to do the whole run in one flexible pipe. However, as always with these things - the decision as to what suits you best is yours.
