McAlpine FLEXRP32 32×32×500 mm is a flexible waste pipe connector designed for drainage and sink connections. The component provides a short, adjustable connection that compensates for minor misalignment between outlet spigots and inlet fittings. Its compact, extendable construction is intended for domestic plumbing repairs and new installations where a space-saving, flexible link is required.
Advantages
The flexible construction allows axial and angular adjustment to bridge small offsets without the need for cutting or bending rigid pipework. Its 32 mm diameter fittings at both ends match standard sink and trap outlets, enabling a straightforward fit. The 500 mm length gives enough reach for many under-sink layouts while remaining compact enough for confined spaces.
Suitable for
- Connecting sinks, washbasins and basin traps to drainage outlets in domestic bathrooms and kitchens
- Short runs where minor misalignment between fittings must be corrected
- Repairs and retrofit installations where access is limited or pipe routing is irregular
When it may not be suitable
This flexible waste connector is intended for low-pressure waste drainage systems and typical domestic use. It is not designed for high-pressure or solvent-welded soil stacks, pressurized systems, or continuous outdoor exposure where UV or extreme weather may degrade the material.
Key specifications
- Inner diameter: 32 mm
- Nominal connection size at each end: 32 mm
- Length: 500 mm (flexible/extendable)
- Material: flexible plastic designed for waste drainage applications
- Compatible with standard sink and trap outlet fittings of matching diameter
How to use
Measure the required length between the sink or basin outlet and the receiving trap or drain. Trim any rigid pipework as needed, then slide the connector over the corresponding spigots or into the fittings. Adjust the flexible section to align the connection and ensure a snug fit. Secure any retaining collars or compression fittings according to the sink or trap manufacturer’s instructions and test for leaks by running water through the system.
What to consider before purchase
- Confirm that your sink, basin trap and drain fittings use a 32 mm connection diameter
- Ensure the 500 mm maximum length meets the distance and routing requirements under the sink
- Review environmental exposure — not intended for prolonged outdoor UV exposure or high-pressure systems
Usage recommendations
For reliable performance, use the connector only within domestic waste drainage systems and secure connections with the correct collars or compression nuts. After installation, check joints for leaks and adjust alignment where necessary. Replace the connector if it shows signs of cracking, hardening or persistent leakage.
