Hi I'm fitting a shower tray and am just having a bit of trouble with the waste. I've included some pics. I understand I've made it with little room for maneuverability which I think is my problem.

Anyway any tips appreciated. I cannot change the tray or change it's orientation.

90 with a street 90 ? / 45 with a street 45v
 
Thanks for all information guys, here's where I'm at, would this work, is this acceptable ? Building regs needs photos as it's an additional bathroom that's being fitted so it has to comply.

Thanks

i don"t do bathrooms, but looks good to me, just make sure you have good solvent weld joints, run water through before fitting tray.
 
I would rather see swept 90s than the knuckle bends you have used (at least for one of them if you possibly could, perhaps a street swept 90 if they even exist) so you can get a drain snake down the pipe if you need to but I don't know that you can really do better than what you have done in that limited space.
 
Right here's where I'm at, I've taken all the advice on board and have 2 scenarios now which I hope are ok (not ideal but ok)

One is with 3 swept bends, the other 2 swept bends and 2 45's.

If I go this way might I have a problem with the shower not draining properly ? I don't have an issue with the fall it's just the location of the waste.


Thanks guys !

Any reason why your not putting the pipe straight into the trap eg not using the supplied 45 ?
 
Strange they normally go in

I've got an issue with the shower tray not being totally flat. As you can see from the photos, it is about 7mm out at one side. It's leaning towards the waste end though. The shower tray is pushed underneath the tiles. My mate did the tiling and I now realise that we should have put the shower...
