Nathan... upon installation of shower tray or wet room area, the shower grate must lead to a trap, of which then can be connected to the soil waste pipe by means of an adaptor. I recommend a glued adaptor, or reducer. This will be plastic and of solvent weld, eliminating any future possible leakage which is very common if not installed properly. I would also recommend that you have a trap between ‘shower grating’ and soil waste pipe, this eliminates gases coming up through the shower and also co-insides with current water and building regulations. This is obviously, common plumbing trade practice. I also recommend that you contact an experienced qualified plumbing engineer for this work, do not attemp this yourself or by someone who claims to be a plumber. Trust me, this will cost you a lot more money in the long run! I hope this helps! J Ireland Plumber
