Hi all,

I'm new to the forum and need some advice. I am not a plumber by any stretch of the imagination, but I try my best at DIY.

I have purchased a cloakroom sink from ebay, which was the only reasonably priced one I could find to suite and fit my cloakroom toilet. The issue is all of the waste fittings which were supplied with it are odd sizes and not the uk standard.
I have purchased a new white plastic 1 1/4 trap which fits nicely onto my waste pipe that is boxed in. However the top of the trap does not fit the thread on my un-slotted sink waste part. The sink waste is slightly tapered and roughly measures about 28-30mm in diameter.

I thought I would just purchase a new un-slotted waste, however the hole in the sink is pretty much the same size as the original supplied waste.


I have attached an image if it helps.


Many thanks
 
quite often ikea basins are like this and are supplied with a plastic bush that screws onto bottom of waste to bring it up to right size..brum
 
Thanks for replying.

It came with a piece of plastic pipe which screws inside of the un-slotted waste fitting. I am guessing this won't seal and leak as it only screws in 4mm deep with the un-slotted waste fitting overlapping it.

How can I go from this pipe to the waste trap assuming it seals ok?
 
its hard to picture what you've got did you say a standard basin waste was too big if so think that maybe you've bought a dead duck unfortunately, take what youve got to a plumbers merchant they will help you out but do avoid B&Q though ...brum
