Hi all, I feel defeated as cannot find a simple solution to this problem.

I have installed a new sink in my kitchen, it is 12 bowl with a 90mm opening in the main sink which has taken a standard strainer waste however the 1/2 bowl has a 45mm opening which will only take a basin waste.The problem now is I have a 1 1/2 bowl trap with 2 40mm female fittings. I cant find anywhere a 32mm female to 40 mm male to enable connection to my traps...

Whats my best options?
 
You need a McAlpine Plastic reducing bush - 11/2" x 11/4" T16

Page 58 Sundry Fittings in main catalogue.

bit of PTFE on the 1 1/4" waste fitting threads screw onto the inner part of the bush & the outer thread can be used to connect your 40mm 1 1/2".

Welcome, hope that helps

Connecting new toilet to waste
As part of a slow DIY bathroom refit I've removed the old toilet from the original location next to the soil pipe (and obviously capped off the branch) and plan to place it the opposite end of the room. I was pretty lucky to find a 110mm sewer waste pipe below the old sink which is the new...
