How to install a shower waste

Here I install a McAlpine shower waste to a quadrant shower tray. It is essential that you get a high flow shower waste if you are using a low profile shower tray. This video shows how to install it ensuring the waste outlet is pointing in the correct direction for connecting to the waste pipe. Brought to you by www.ultimatehandyman.co.uk/how...

Thanks for this video, however many years later it is just as informative and helpful - appreciate it

Brilliant, the shower wasn't draining and I spent days back flushing, rodding and w.h.y, I couldn't get under the shower. I didn't install it myself and had no idea how the trap worked. What a dummy! You just lift it out! Job done.

Thanks for this, and also the additional comments - which are not the usual You Tube highly critical sort.

Thanks for the video, I’m in the middle of fitting one and wasn’t sure if I needed silicone. Sweet

[@johnoneill5071]

I have been a plumber for 50 yrs and never have I used silicone on this type of waste that comes with rubber seals, after 2 years the rubber rejects the silicone , as I have found out so many times when doing maintainance, so many diy plumbers think silicone is the answer when in fact it causes so many problems later on.

Thank you so much. This is a must have...

very good demonstration sir thanks ,

[@Rayblondie]

Very clear instructions. I watched one before which was all music and diagrams which was a total waste for me. So Thankyou.

Thanks for the info - just a question on sealant - would OB1 (polymer, I think) be suitable for the job. As silicone (as you'll know) reacts badly with the rubber seals about 18 months down the line.

Hi, what's that component "facing downward" called? I would like to straight one. Cheers

What was used on the bottom on the tray around the waste hole. I assume this was to provide a flat surface for the waste seal. Looks like adhesive

[@nobbystyles4807]

can you add sealant to the under side of it as well or is that a waste of time?

I have repaired hundreds of shower traps that have been installed like this. Use experience not the manufacturers information they don't have to fix them after a Copple of years when they start to leak and ruin your celing. I ALWAYS use some fernox LSX on the bottom rubber that way it will last as long as the one that you took out did.

I want to replace mine but i can only take off the top cap then four screws on the next plate but everything else is solid. Do you know what i need to do to replace the round head with a square head, as i want to tile over the existing vinyl. It's a proper wet room, so the tray is literally cemented in. I hope that makes sense.

Use LSX on the seals but remember to ensure you have a mtce hatch in case of need post completion

Hello, I recently had one of these installed.

[@Mistycat_51]

Very clear thank you

[@FirstResponse1999]

Do we need the screwing bend on our waste if so why is it bent at an angle and not come out straight from the trap. Any help is much appreciated
