Hello,
I’m replacing an old, vertical outlet toilet with a new, horizontal outlet one. I’ll use a swan-neck adaptor to do this because the new toilet outlet spigot is almost exactly vertically above the centre of the outlet pipe in the floor.
The old toilet plugged into the 110mm pipe in the floor using an adaptor with a rubber seal for the toilet spigot, like modern ones, and the other end was inserted into the floor pipe - there is no wax seal or flange. This old adaptor won’t budge - it is well and truly stuck in the floor pipe, and I fear I will damage the pipe under the floor if I start using more force.
The internal diameter of the old adapter appears to be about 95mm.
Does anyone know if the McAlpine swan-neck adaptor (110mm), with its multiple sealing fins, will fit into my old 95mm old adaptor? (I don’t want to try, and then get the new adaptor jammed into the old one). If not, is there something else I can use to connect the new spigot to the old adaptor which are almost exactly in line vertically? Or do you think there shouldn’t be anything holding the adaptor inside the pipe so I should try harder?
thank you
