    Reducing a condensate line from 32mm plastic?



    Hi Guys!
    Have a slight dilemma here, basically I am finishing off a new install of Fujitsu Ceiling cassettes.
    These have a condensate outlet sized at 32mm Plastic.
    Because they are not direct replacements the existing drain line holes no longer line up and for various reasons cannot be reused.
    So my question which may seem rather basic to some is.
    What is available to allow me to reduce these lines down, the only holes I have available ( in wall!) are around 3/4".
    Has anyone come across this dilemma and how have you resolved it?
    Thanks Grizzly
    PS. If poss, are parts available from national and therefore local suppliers?

    grizz - check the name on the original drain pipe
    if centre brand- go plumb ctr
    lasco - travis perkins
    george fischer- plastics ctr/drainage(wolseley)
    or diversey do rubber boots to reduce from 11/2 11/4 to 3/4 in different colours then jubilee clip em to be on the safe side

    Climate and rpw do some rubber adaptors that go from 1 1/4" down to overlow pipe size, think they are made by Sauermann, needs jubly clips or will leak.
    Good thing with these is you can undo them if needs be. Beware different makes of overflow often don't fit well together despite being the same nominal size.

    if all else fails pour wavin glue on end of pipe, flick lighter and warm gently for a few seconds, you now have an instant adaptor for close matching pipes, a plumber by the name of larry the leak told me this one

    Maybe not the ideal solution but there is always good ole heat shrink tubing for those hard to get thingys'''

    Only shrink the ends over the spigots though.

    A very useful link.
    Were necessary I use self amalgamating tape. Its ideal when dealing with water sealing issue and no heat application required.
    Available just about everywhere.
