Adapting a flushpipe where WC is at right-angle to cistern.

[L_Plate]

I am trying to connect a flushpipe on an old low-level loo where the cistern is mounted at 90° to the WC. Previously the connection between the loo and the cistern has contained a section of solvent weld waste (40mm) and what appears to be a couple of compression elbow fittings (one of which is leaking) from an old kitchen sink kit.

Is it possible to connect a 40mm waste compression elbow to a section of flushpipe or are these only designed to work with wastepipe? Thanks for any advice.

Sorry, that is for a high-level WC. What I am after is a low-level flushpipe to which I could fix a waste compression elbow in order to make the connection to the cistern (which is mounted at right-angles to the loo).

Yes I know it is, but it's likely to have the bits you need.
Waste elbows are female, so it has to fit your pipe not your cistern...

Got it. Yes, you are quite right, Chris. On reflection that item probably would do the trick. Thanks for your help.

I have bought the suggested 3 piece flushpipe. Still not able to quite get a fit between siphon and back of the loo. Is it acceptable to combine flushpipe with solvent weld pipe and fittings and how reliable would the seal be? Also is there anyway that applying some heat to the flushpipe might be able to give a tighter bend?

I have used solvent waste pipr to overcome your problems!!

Polypipe references!

A WS 36 will connect to syphon.

WS 14 /24 and 18 bends to arrive at w/c

WS 12 pipe.

And a little ingenuity to fit onto flushpie cone (no problem if its an external one though) use a reversable one !!!

Excellent advice, Terry. This looks to do the trick. Good tip re reversable WC cones. Cheers.
