Soil pipe and pan connector

[wignnwuk]

I am about to remove my old toilet and would appreciate any advice....
My soil pipe comes out of the wall from the side of my toilet and the pan connector is obviously a 90 degree connector....
The connector actually fits over the soil pipe as opposed to the new one i bought which will fit into it.
I want advice on how to remove the old pan connector...without damaging the soil pipe...which is Pvc by the way....am worried its glued on.

Removing the toilet. Isolate water supply and drain and remove cistern. Remove any screws from the pan and try to wiggle the pan out of the pan connector. I strongly doubt this will be glued. If the pan was cemented in i suggest breaking the pan with a hammer and removing it in small sections.

both the soil pie and pan connector are PVC so wont be cemented and i dont really want to hit with a hammer ....i suppose the proof is in the pudding.....just wondered if this is a regular thing..i.e the connector fitting over the soil pipe as opposed into it ??????

And will it be pushfit even though it will be at least 12yo?....i dont know whether its the original plumbing...doesnt actually look like a proffesional has fitted it.

pan connectors usually have female end that connects onto the pan and a flanged male end that pushes into the pipe. denso tape was used as a repair when the old clay salt glaze collars broke down.

dunno if this helps.

sorry...i misunderstood you.....whats the best way of detaching the pan connector....does it detach easily?

in my experience yes. it was the old 's' trap toilets that were mortared into salt glaze female ends, that were a bu**er to remove.
