Can I connect sink waste to shower waste?
as long as you can get a continuous run on the waste pipe there should be no trouble. Run 32mm from the basin, increasing to 40mm when the shower tees in and run 40 mm on through to the stack, taking in the bath. No problems with this set up at all. Thanks for that.
