Unable to fit DIY pipes bought from Canada

Hi Guys,

I bought a bidet from Canada which can be fitted over the toilet stool. The problems is that the pipes that cAme with it, I found out later, are in north american measures.

The main problom is fitting the "Adapter" shown in the attached diagram and picture:-

between the 22 mm pipes under the washing basin.

I would greatly appreciate help with this regards.

Best wishes

Hi mathew,

Where in the country are you? Ther'll most likely be a merchants in your area who can help get the adaptors you need! Up here in Newcastle I'd be consulting a firm called Crosslings, Not sure if they're national or not?

Thanks diamondagas,

I'm in Kent, Whitstable. I have been to few merchants in an industrial park and they were unable to help me.

Maybe someone down your way will give you some advice mate I supose you've checked out the manufacturers website for suppliers in UK? Gave them a call? Just a couple of obvious roads no doubt you've been down?

try someone like pirtek.

How irresponsible of you.

That is a total unacceptable way of making an item "legal"

This is not the way to make it legit. And should never be done

Why would you want this thing from Canada ? What do you mean it fits over stool ? do you mean it some how clips around wc bowl, This sounds totely illegal and you could leave yourself open to prosecution by local water board.

must have lots of money as fine would be £1000 per contravention of water regs
