ikea basin drain problems

slipstream

i need to install a ikea bathroom washstand/basin but the original plumbing kit was lost and ikea will not supply a replacement.

there is not much room between the bottom of the sink and the top drawer (about 100mm) and so the original drain had a telescoping section to a vertical pipe at the rear which dropped down to a trap like this.

the only similar wastes i can find are for kitchen sinks rather than basins and are made by franke and mcalpine.

could one of these plumbing kits be connected up in some way to the current or a new basin waste or can you guys suggest other workarounds?

i see mcalpine do a few 1 1/2" basin wastes, could i use these with their kitchen ssk kit or with the franke siphon kit?

thanks for your help (as i certainly need it!),

that hudson reed waste looks like it has a hepvo trap inside.

do these work well?

I have one. Only issue is you can hear more sound of the water running away than a normal water trap as it is a vertical version. Other than that it has given no problems. Where you have a feature wall hung basin with the trap on show this makes a neater finish.

thanks freddy.

do you know if these are available/stocked anywhere in ireland?

also, how have you dealt the the overflow when using them?

I got mine in UK. Easy to get online?
Basin overflows are usually integral to the basin so not an issue. Sinks will need a T piece to secure overflow pipe.
