Heys guys,
Need some help. I have to fit a 32mm waste pipe to an "old" 1 1/2 inch copper waste, all internal piping, so cannot remove the copper pipe, so stuck with it unfortunately.:mad:
I know there are some fittings out there available, but do you know where I can get them.....?:confused:
If not, can only think of quick fixes, but not a choice i would like to choose......:eek:
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

regards

Frankief
 
1 1/4 " flexible compression will do it available from any plumbers merchants.
 
Ive got a feeling that a normal 11/2 push fit fitting will go straight onto the copper, failing that as said mechanical coupler.
 
did 3 of those before xmas, you need 1''1/2 compresion to short flexi. that will sort it 100per.

if you are going from 11/2" copper to 32mm, best to use a 38mm McAlpine multifit straight coupling with 38x32 reducer in it, (dont use crappy multifit from Q&B etc they are mince)
