I am replacing a cloakroom sink for a friend and the waste pipe the solvent 
welded type.  It measures 36mm OD.  I have lots of 32 mm push fit bits and 
pieces but no adaptor from one to the other.  Will a 32 mm compression 
coupling fit the solvent pipe?  I dont want tho have to replace all the 
pipework as it goes under the floor before exiting the house.  I can 
obviously get a coupler easily but cannot take the pipe with me to check if 
it will fit.  Does anybody know if this is the way or can an adaptor be 
easily obtained?

Cheers

John

Yes.  I have a chrome trap on my cloakroom basin which matches push-fit type 
pipe, but the waste pipe was solvent type.  I used a McAlpine 32mm 
"Universal" compression coupling to connect the two different size pipes 
together.  I assumed that's what they mean by Universal - anyway it worked!

Anything at www.bes.ltd.uk do John?
