Polypipe waste sizes

[Eric]

Another problem with the shower I am trying to fit..

The old waste and P trap is 1 =BE=94. The new waste I bought is 1=94 shorter than the old so I need a new P trap but it looks as if 1 =BE=94 is no longer a standard =96 its all 40mm or 32mm (1 =BD=94 or 1 =BC=94 in old money). The only 1 =BE=94 wastes I can find are this length =96 I should have known=85..

shows the problem)

Is it right that you can=92t get 1 =BE=94 polypipe connectors any longer? I can buy another waste but is it possible to get an adaptor to the 1 =BE=94 waste pipe that is there already?

The old waste and P trap is 1 ¾?. The new waste I bought is 1? shorter than the old so I need a new P trap but it looks as if 1 ¾? is no longer a standard ? its all 40mm or 32mm (1 ½? or 1 ¼? in old money). The only 1 ¾? wastes I can find are this length ? I should have known?..

I don't know the answers to your questions specifically and I don't know whether you are referring to Polypipe as a specific manufacturer (which it is) or to polypipe as a generic term for such pipe and fittings, but I do know that different manufacturer's pipes and fittings, while nominally the same, may not fit one another.
