Hi all, I feel defeated as cannot find a simple solution to this problem.

I have installed a new sink in my kitchen, it is 12 bowl with a 90mm opening in the main sink which has taken a standard strainer waste however the 1/2 bowl has a 45mm opening which will only take a basin waste.The problem now is I have a 1 1/2 bowl trap with 2 40mm female fittings. I cant find anywhere a 32mm female to 40 mm male to enable connection to my traps...

Whats my best options?
 
You need a McAlpine Plastic reducing bush - 11/2" x 11/4" T16

Page 58 Sundry Fittings in main catalogue.

bit of PTFE on the 1 1/4" waste fitting threads screw onto the inner part of the bush & the outer thread can be used to connect your 40mm 1 1/2".

Welcome, hope that helps
