well I would be interested in recieving your suppliers details. The shower waste is what I was enquiring about. I think you hav answered my question actually. What I wondered is how you attach th outlet to the waste pipe when the wet room floor disallows access unde the floor? But I think what you were saying is that you ensure that th waste pipe and the trap are placed directly under the hole in the floo and the when the floor is down simply screw in the outlet into the tra from above. Is this right? Thanks for your advice so far
