I broke my pan the other day, walked into it with a 9lb sledge hammer by mistake. So I took all the measurements and went to B&Q to pick one up (it was 7pm on a Sat night). Could I find one - no! So I bought a close fit, flexible coupler and proceeded to fit the WC.
The problem is that the connection to the soil pipe is about 40mm out ( I know this as it is currently sitting on an off cut of a worktop). Now this pan is a temp fixing - £25 for the piece.
What I need to try and work out is how best to connect a pan that I want - to a cast iron pipe that is too high. In a perfect world I'd just remove or cut back the pipe - but I don't own a chain pipe cutting tool and so not sure how to proceed in either removing the pipe, cutting the pipe, raising the pan or finding a pan that will fit ok.
The old pan had an angled waste pipe and so the cast iron pipe is also at an angle. It was also originally cemented in place and I can only find horizontal ones. The cast iron pipe also has a cupped end (where the pan joins it).
Any suggestions?
