Hello there
Our Downstairs loo recently started to leak and so my father and I found the issue was a perished connector ring.
But the problem is that we cannot find any modern (or old) connectors that will join up to the 5" exit/soil pipe. (we actually did find one flexi connector available from an distro in africa but dont feel to confident on that)
The loo itself appears to have the standard "out" size but no search shows up any connector that will correctly link in.
Obviously, as rank amateurs we need a little assistance, in basic terms, I have seen folk with similar issues but none exactly the same or with solution that were, lets say, a little technical for me to follow.
My Father is the DIY bloke, but I'd also like to be able to follow the process, to ensure no bodge job is done.
A large Ask, I understand but can you assist?, I can take pics/sketches/even create floorplans if you wish.
Just to repeat. Standard out pipe on rear of loo to wall to oversize 5" soil pipe (which then turns 90 degrees to the left and then joins the boxed off main soil pipe down).
Ta Muchly.
