Tap Swirls

Post by Big Boy »

A strange request, and I only see tap swirls as a solution - I would not be using them as tap swirls. I simply need 2 short lengths of tapered rubber (or similar) tube that will fit over a 10mm pipe (this end can be wider) and feed into an 8mm hole. It is to direct water in to our underground aircon drainage pipe, which somehow seems to have shrunk :? and we now have a gap on both pipes.

My solution is simple, and would be easy to install (even for a DIY ignoramus like me). Problem is I can't find anything that fits the bill in Thailand.

Does anybody know where I could find such a beast please?

OK guys, time to take your thinking caps off. Thanks for any brain cells activated trying to think of a solution. I've sorted it.

I found an equal ended hose connector in Home Pro this morning. It fits perfectly into the down pipe. A poor fit into the drain, but gravity will do the rest. :D

As per the photo. A long time ago in the UK, the wide ind would slide onto the tap. When the tap was running, the soft rubber would allow water to be directed around the sink.

Hmm, sounds like it should be posted in Nightcrawlers! :shock:
