McAlpine FLEXCON3 32mm 1¼” Flexible Waste Connector Universal x Universal
McAlpine FLEXCON3 is a 32mm / 1¼” flexible waste connector with universal connections at both ends. It is designed for basin, cloakroom and small waste pipework where a rigid fitting cannot easily line up.
McAlpine FLEXCON3 Trade Overview
The McAlpine FLEXCON3 is a practical flexible waste fitting for plumbers, bathroom fitters and maintenance teams working on 32mm basin waste pipework. It is useful where the existing pipework is slightly misaligned, restricted by space or difficult to connect with standard rigid fittings.
The flexible concertina-style body allows the fitting to form an offset or angle between two compatible waste fittings. This makes it a useful problem-solver for repair work, refurbishment jobs and awkward basin waste runs.
The FLEXCON3 has universal outlet connections at both ends, making it suitable for connecting into compatible traps, wastes and waste fittings. Its adjustable length gives fitting flexibility where pipe positions are already fixed.

FLEXCON3 vs FLEXCON1
The McAlpine FLEXCON3 is the 32mm / 1¼” universal x universal flexible connector. The McAlpine FLEXCON1 is the 32mm / 1¼” universal x plain spigot version.
Use FLEXCON3 where both ends need to connect into compatible universal waste fittings. Use FLEXCON1 where one end needs a plain spigot connection.
Installation Notes
Before fitting, check that both trap or waste connections are suitable for a 32mm / 1¼” universal connection. Dry fit the FLEXCON3 first to check the required angle, offset and working length.
Make sure both ends are fully seated into the compatible connections before tightening. Avoid over-stretching or twisting the flexible body, and make sure the waste pipe run still has a suitable fall for drainage.
After installation, run water through the waste pipework and check all joints for leaks.
The McAlpine FLEXCON3 is a flexible connector, not a complete trap. For full basin waste setups, use it with suitable McAlpine traps and compatible waste fittings.
