What does this reduce from/to?
The description mentions 32MM but does not simply say if that is the size it reduces to or if it is the size it reduces from!!
Secondly, and perhaps more importantly what size is the other end!!!

I found that this does NOT fit a 32mm (ID) solvent weld pipe. It fits into a 41mm (OD) FloPlast pipe. You can use a short section of this FloPlast pipe from the reducer to your 32mm pipe. Secure both with Solvent glue. A bit of a lash up, but seems to work.

Can I glue/weld into push fit
what could I use to basically glue/weld it into the push fitting for piece of mind, as to me it doesn't feel there is enough length to go into the push fitting.

Please correct the description
@Screwfix, can you correct the description please? This appears to be 21.5 - 32mm waste reducer. - What's all that 36.6mm about ? I had trouble finding it.
Asked by: Flitter
The basic sizes are generally know as 1 1/4" -----1 1/2" ----- 2" Basically on the polypropylene system ( BS5254) the sizes refer to the OD of the pipe
and on the solvent glue system ( BS5255) the sizes refer to the ID of the pipe. So the two systems are not compatible because the OD s are different on the two systems. These day they have been given metric sizes although there is no actual changes to the real pipe sizes
Polypropylene push fit system
36 mm ( 1 1/4") actual pipe size = 34.6 mm OD
40 mm ( 1 1/2") actual pipe size = 41.0 mm OD
50 mm ( 2.0" ) actual pipe size = 54.1 mm OD
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solvent glue system
36 mm ( 1 1/4") actual pipe size = 36.1 mm OD
40 mm ( 1 1/2") actual pipe size = 42.9 mm OD
50 mm ( 2. 0" ) actual pipe size = 55.9 mm OD
