chrome plated plastic waste pipe

[RogerS]

I'm trying to locate a supplier for this (32mm ideally) but I'm drawing a blank. Can anyone help please?

Thanks

Roger

Roger, I've been plumbing most of my working life, but I've never heard of CP PLASTIC waste pipe, if it's not a rude question, why do you want it and where do you intend to use it and for what purpose, CP Copper is available but I have'nt seen it used for years, waste pipe is not usually seen.

Rich.

Hi Roger,

I've just had a quick look and this sort of thing is all I could find.

Have you thought about spraying ordinary plastic pipe with a chrome spray paint?

 

[RogerS]

Simon...thanks for the link. Now, if only they did it in straight runs!

Rich...the plastic waste pipe has to run internally before exiting via the outside wall. As the water pipes are in chrome, I quite liked the idea of having the waste pipe also in chrome. That way, I didn't need the hassle of boxing in the waste pipe.

On a separate note, just fitted some WC's from Rak Ceramics. Elegant design, good finish to the ceramics. Oh....just one little niggly thing. To fit the WC seat, you need to dismantle and remove the entire WC ......pan and cistern. Everything. DAMHIKT. Brilliant design - not.

Roger if its just a straight run you could sleeve it with CP tube, Ironmongery Direct do a 40mm tube so that should take 32mm waste, bends may be a bit tight. I've used it in bathrooms before and not had problems with corrosion etc.

Other option is to do it in 35mm copper then get it chrome plated.

Re the RAK Sanitary ware, did you get the matching seat as most of them come with a form of "cavity fixing" that pushes in from the top, no wing nuts from underneath. A lot of bathstore stuff is/was ths make.

Thanks for the suggestions, Jason. Re the toilet seat...came from Rak but made in Italy. Fixing consists of a countersunk bolt that feeds down from the top of the pan, a small nut and a bit of rubber. :idea: So I think you may have hit on the solution...ie the rubber oojamaflip compresses (in theory) as you tighten the bolt.

Sounds like a Rawlnut type fixing.

I also had lots of problems sourcing the 32mm in chrome plastic,

But there are some online european wholesalers who can supply you that

Any pointers? Tried Googling without success.

BES do some bits, but I think its 40mm.

Can't help with an online source I'm afraid but I will need something similar soon for get a cloakroom basin waste out to the drain. I enquired at my local plumbers merchant and they can get it special order - so it is available. Not cheap though - from memory it was something like a hundred quid for a couple of metres plus two ninety degree bends. Still cheaper than boxing it all in and loosing the width on an already narrow cloakroom.

wickes also do the 40mm chrome tube

[Jake]

That's steel, though, isn't it?

 

[Tusses]

yes.

 

[Jake]

It'll rust!

The BES stuff, such as it is, is plastic.

 

[Mcluma]

how much of that 32 are you looking for??

you know how to connect the 32 to the 40mm?? this is done via rubber insert

 

[RogerS]

about 2 metres plus some 90 degrees/ looks like boxing in time

 

[Mcluma]

the longest they do is 50cm and no bends, its normally ment to go from the chivon straight into the wall (there you use the 40mm grey pipe)

 

[Fecn]

Could you not just use the plastic stuff and a can of chrome spray paint?

 

[jasonB]

Jake the 40mm stuff I suggested (and Tusses ) was to sleeve 32mm plastic so rust not a problem.
