The reverse osmosis filters waste clamp (40mm) doesnt fit on my waste pipe (50mm)
I ordered a 6mm compression fitting to use an npt taper
The compression fitting took 3 weeks to arrive and I'm trying to measure the male end its maybe 9mm
In inches this comes at 0.35
I cannot find an npt taper size for this
I cannot find a 50mm waste clamp
Please help, what can I do?
Edit:
As you can see the original U bend is 40mm but too short with no space for the clamp
This is the 6mm elbow compression fitting I have
I ordered this because I feel 3/8inch is the closest to the size of the compression fittings thread size
Should I order "pvc cement" incase it is a bit loose?

I ran into a similar situation and not being able to locate the correct sized part (saddle) I successfully installed a hose barb fitting
Looking at your photo I can't easily find an acceptable location for a threaded barb fitting. Ideally it should be oriented vertically and on top of any pipe section. And obviously before the trap.
If it's possible to add a short extension of pipe to the connection where the flexible hose is attached so as to allow an attachment point that would facilitate connecting the new fitting.
Installation is a simple matter of drilling a slightly undersized hole and forcefully turning the fitting into it after wrapping the threads with Teflon tape.
