43mm waste fitting

[Tanman]

I need to replace the shower waste unit in my ensuite but the pipe is 43mm. I have tried everywhere locally (local plumbing supplies, Travis Perkins, ScrewFix, B&Q, etc) but cannot find this size. I did buy a 40mm unit hoping that there might be enough play in it but there wasn't. Any suggestions?

Ah it could be abs as i had this last week get an abs 1/2" female one side male the other and it just slots in the compression side of waste either that or get a compression flexi with spigot end 40mm, compression side fits the 43mm pipe. hope this helps.

It appears China uses 43mm pipe as standard as I have a similar problem, the big problem now is I need about two foot of it and they want a minimum shipping order of around 300 metres !

Won't a 1.1/2" compression straight coupling and some 1.1/2" pipe do it?

Wickes used to do a 43mm pipe. But now the only do a 41mm with connectors. They do not fit the 43mm

You can use a mechanical fitting for connecting on. (The type that have nuts that you compress the tapered rubber seals up).
There are also other types designed for universal fit, but they are push fit. Hepworth make them. Connectors or male to female bends are available and are special because they are bigger internal diameter but with heavier rubber internal seals

Try Sanifix.co.uk who make solvent weld conversion fittings from Euro 40mm OD to UK 40mm (which is actually 43mm and labelled 1.5"). it is a 65mm long pvc-u pipe tapering from 40mm to 43mm
