Connecting pushfit waste to solvent weld waste

[Alex]

Hello again,

Out the back of the chrome trap on a new sink I have a chrome waste pipe sized to fit 32mm pushfit waste.

However, the existing waste for the system is solvent weld, which I would really like to leave in place - not really happy having pushfit waste where I can't get to it, space is very tight where it is on display, and there would be a lot of waste pipe to replace!

So, is there any way I can connect a chrome 32mm pushfit pipe to standard

32mm solvent weld pipe?

Thank you in advance!

Alex

Are you sure it's pushfit? Usually these have a nut and rubber compression seal, and will take pushfit or solvent weld pipe.

I thought he was on about the chrome waste pipe from the trap to wherever, not the trap itself.

Yup. maybe you could just use a compression coupler between solvent weld pipe and the chromed pipe, or to save space or for neatness it might help that you can get solvent x compression couplers and solvent x pushfit socket couplers (misleadingly labelled expansion couplers in B&Q)

This sounds right. The chrome pipe is the same size as the Pushfit waste pipe system.

Cheers for your help guys, much appreciated - a good flick through BES is in order I think :)
