Kitchen Sink Waste Overflow Connection

[Mcknze21]

Hi

I was wondering if someone could please tell me how to connect the flex pipe from sink overflow drain in to waste trap below? It is the Cooke & Lewis Waste Kit ‘B’

If I can add pictures then I can show?

Hi

The overflow tube just seems to sit in the side of the waste trap so if it's draining then it's ok but if plug is in and full sink, if plug is removed then it pours out side as too much flow to all go down at once.
I've had to work with what was there before so sorry for the mess!

One other thing is the pipe going to waste from strainer drain sits horizontal, is this ok or should it be angled?

Looks like your missing a couple of parts should be a nut and some sort of rubber o ring or similar to connect overflow to basket strainer waste.
Horizontal is fine with correct bits!

Just buy a new waste and use the bits you need

I manage to find the part I need as missing. A small black washer type. When that is inside the nut it seems stop water coming back out.

Another silly question is should you see the white plastic waste trap below or should it line up with stainless steel strainer? Or does it matter. See photos.

See two pictures. One shows white plastic and other doesn’t.

Ideally line up if you can but in reality it doesn’t matter

Thanks Shaun.

Do you know how I could make this pipe sit further left? Wife used to store toaster on shelf to right but now it doesn’t fit by about 10mm! Nightmare!

Other that cutting the waste pipe and installing a new elbow and piece of pipe

Get a toaster that fits ?
