what would you recommend

Morning chaps, hope you are all having a great weekend and chilling n sun. I need some ideas really, the picture below is of a bathroom that is small. Has a 1400mm bath. Client wants to replace this bath with a double shower. But, you can see that the toilet soil pipe runs through the vanity unit and under the bath. But the bath waste is lower down on a seperate run. I just want to know what to do with the soil pipe? How to box it in and really, make it look like a good finish. I don't want it to be a mission to silicone around that side of the tray, but the boxing will come higher than the shower tray. Hope that make sense.

Is that the metal bar kit? I hate those offset things also. Prefer the ons with compression on end of valves. Then you can leave as long as you like and cut to length

Does anyone know what fitting I need to go into this? I have tried 2inch pipe. 2inch rubber boss things. 2 inch reducers. But nothing fits. It came with a rubber reducer but I threw it away. Think it's from wickes

I can see lots of different ones. Will remember for next time. It is an extra cost though

 

[mutley racers]

Nice. I like that. And cheap

That's it cheers Tamz

A tenner less the cost of 2 wallplate elbows and a lot of fkn around :smile:
On stud walls i drill 2 16mm holes @150mm centres through a dwang (noggin) Gives you something solid to screw into.

So is this boss adaptor less than 2inch? As all my boss adaptors have not fit

Most mira bar showers come with the easy fit kit now. Installed a Mira Coda and was pleasantly surprised when opened up. Think all the plumbers moaning made have a rethink? Worth knowing however.

 

[Destroyer2813]

Other people make em as well as bristan mutley worth the extra money for me though makes installs so much easier

A dwang Tam, is that regional terminology for a noggin?

 

[Plum Bob 66]

Now that is an option. Use an 1/2 inch male to 1/2 inch female behind offset parts. Then I would never know if it were to leak or not as it will be concealed

The insomniac option ...

 

[mutley racers]

Definitely going to add them fixing kits into the quote next time. I like less hassle. Dwang hey. I never heard that word but my phone has.

I remembered to put in the translation :smile:

So with regards to the boss adaptors, do boss' come in different sizes? And if do what are they? As all the different ones I have, do not fit the one at the job

 

[tamz]

There are a couple of different sizes. Some solvent ones like marley are smaller. I've never used anything from wickes so don't now what they are like or who makes them. You might need to get one from there.
Try a 2" union over the spigot

 

[mutley racers]

The answer fellers was... tin snips. Cut pipe covers down to size in a tick.

I got the boss adaptor part from wickes. Weirdo, having thier own sizes
