It should be obvious how to do it. You clamp the body onto the pipe, then you screw in the cutter, which removes a circular piece of the waste pipe when turned using the tommy bar. Remove the cutter and then screw in the remaining piece of plastic. The waste from the machine is then attached, usually a tight push fit.:doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:0

It might be wise to use a jubilee clip on the waste pipe rather than just relying on the push fit.That gum you like is coming back in style.0

Go back to the shop and ask. There is usually one or two people in DIY shops who know what they are talking about.
To fit the self cutting waste you need to find an area of the waste pipe which is straight and long enough to accommodate the clamp. Not the U-bend.Then you attach it and do up the screws. The next thing to is to screw in the metal 'thing'. I think this is the way to go. It should cut a hole in the pipe. Then you screw in the hose connector after removing the cutter.
If you google "how to fit a self cutting hose connector" you will get some information. Hope this helps.I can afford anything that I want.
Just so long as I don't want much.0 -
