Drainage: Help with connecting 110mm underground pipe to 110mm hopper!

Hi there,

I'm replacing one of my current drainage things outside my house from a downpipe directly connected to an underground pipe (using a piece of rubber) to what will hopefully be a downpipe that ends, and there is then a grated hopper which will allow surface water to drain into it as well as rainwater from the gutters.

So first off, i buy this and this.

The only problem i have is this:

Both of them are 110mm and i can't seem to find anything to connect the two. The other annoying thing is it's quite high up already so i really need whatever adaptor i can find to be as short as possible...can anyone help?

Does anyone know of a really short adaptor which is either larger or smaller than 110mm to connect the two bits? :confused:

Thanks, i did search around myself and find the same things but theyre all just seem a little too long, because of how high up the underground pipe is the hopper would be sticking way out of the ground!

If there was either a really short one of those or if i could somehow get one so that the hopper and the underground pipe were still touching (keeping the hopper as low as possible) that would be awesome but i just can't find one...

Just go to your local plumbers merchant and ask for a pipe connector for 110mm plastic pipe.
