    I know you can get little reducers that slide in pressure pipe to reduce it to fit with waste pipe. Can you not return and get the correct ones?

    That's going to be quite a flow restrictions going from 2" down to a 50mm valve isn't it? I'd be swapping the valves for 2" I think

    Also the more bits you have to glue together the more chance of a leak so a bit of a double whammy there I think

    It's a bit like saying if you have an infinite number of monkeys and an infinite number of typewriters sooner or later you'll come up with the works of Shakespeare
