Hi,

Im putting a new shower cubicle in to my flat in place of an old bath.
The sink is also moving near to the shower cubilce.

Obviously i will be connecting the waste pipe of the shower to the pipe that was used for the bath. But, in addition to the shower, the sink also has to use the same pipe as the shower. What do i need to buy to make the shower and the sink both use the same waste pipe??

Please can you tell me the name of the fitting that i need so i can go looking for one.

Thanks in advance

Jack

Not always a good idea connecting them all together, but will depend on the size of the pipe.

Bath and shower will be 40mm ish and the basin will be 32mm.

So you will need 3 40mm tees, one 40mm access cap on the end for rodding, 1 40-32mm reducer and whatever bends and pipe you need

Thanks for the reply,

Just to be clear, the bath is getting removed, will only have a shower and a sink to plumb in. Is your answer still right?

Yes you just need one less tee
