B&Q Flexible Shower waste (L)1200mm

I recently used for shower waste and it was brilliant, fitted ok to existing pipe and because it was flexible i was able to connect to shower tray before fixing tray to base. Also, in terms of cost it was cheaper than buying a long solid pipe (and corners etc) most of which would have been surplus to requirements.

bought this for a elephant costume to use as the trunk. works perfectly

I bought this on the weekend M(ar 2018) to connect a new, high flow, compression fit shower waste (above floor level) to the existing solvent weld type waste pipe (below the floor and through a joist). It fitted perfectly at both ends and elminated the need for a complicated collection of fittings and bits of pipe. It also means that I now have only two points (at each end) where a leak is possible. Both of these points are totally accessible, one via an access point in the floor, the other by removal of the shower tray front panel.

Wish I'd read the reviews before purchasing as this is a sub standard component that won't fit onto the standard waste pipe connections. Why is it still on sale as the only other reviewer obviously encountered the same problem as I did?

Fitted to this to bandq shower tray and trap, magic ! No fiddling perfect fit :-)
