Help with basin waste

Options
Hi all,

I'm trying to sort my basin waste for our cloakroom and bought a chrome bottle trap waste which has a 32mm chrome outlet pipe.

To connect this up with my existing 32mm plastic pipe waste, I bought this adaptor:

https://mcalpineplumbing.com/plastic-chrome-fittings/chrome-plated-brass-fittings/abs3235a-cbc-90deg-bend-cp-brass-x-abs-connector

The chrome nut and washer end attach to the chrome pipe and this part is fine. What I cannot work out however is how the other end connects up to standard 32mm waste. The mcalpine website does include a technical drawing with the measurements and this shows that the internal diameter of the non threaded plastic end is 36.5mm- but how do I connect this up to what I have? 

Any help much appreciated.

    It says "x ABS Solvent Weld"
    This means that a plastic pipe is glued into the adaptor with 'solvent cement'

    Ah thanks just realised I got my push fit and my abs pipe mixed up and didn't realise the former was a slightly smaller diameter- hence why thought something wasn't right.
