I am trying to connect a new shower tray to the existing waste pipe.
The existing waste is an 1 =BE=94 PVC pipe. I think that this standard has now been abandoned =96 all the wastes in B&Q are now 40mm (1 =BD=94). Is it likely that a plumbers merchant will stock 1 =BE=94 fittings =96 I need a new P trap?
What are the prospects for connecting a 40mm P trap to a 1 =BE=94 waste pipe? Do I just stuff a bit of 40mm pipe inside the 1 =BE=94, whack some silicone sealant round it and hope for the best or is it possible to find an adaptor from 40mm to 1 =BE=94?
Indeed will 40mm PVC pipe fit inside 1 =BE=94?
