Having just taken out an old bath and installed a new one I find that the old trap is about 15mm too short to fit the new bath. I tried a new trap (hepworths shallow bath trap) thats even shorter. I cant easily lengthen the pipe going through the wall so I would like a longer trap or even a flexible one. Any suggestions would be most welcome.
Thanks
Malc.
 
Hi Malc and welcome go on the McAlpine website all manner of traps/ extentions/flexi wastes etc bound to be something there to suit your problem:)regards turnpin
 
Turnpin,
Many thanks for your welcome and prompt reply,Ill have a look at them.
Regards,
Malc
 
Problem solved. Looked out of bathroom window and could see a possible 15 mm that I could pull through so got to work with chisel (sds) and managed to pull it through. No damage outside and watertight connection inside, result.
