WC Pan Connector question

[nickypon]

Hi, Was wondering if anyone could help. I currenty have a 90 deg pan conector coming out of the toilet which drops in to the main soil pipe. It sits at an angle because the soil pipe is at a different level. It has now started leaking, i think because it does not sit staight. Can I sort this problem out by getting a flexible pan conector and doing away with the 90. Baring in mind that the soil pipe is very close to the pan. Thanks

Many different pan connectors that will solve your issue better
than a flexi.

Give us a pic.

I found your pic in your profile.
have you another pic of the horizontal pipe ?

I don't have another pic just now. It's just a straight going in to the side of the bath.

Your only option is a 90 degree flexi.
or i would be more inclined to try a 135 degree offset bend onto
your horizontal pipe and use the same pan connector.

Thanks very much for your help. My only worry is that the 90 deg flexi that I found at toolstation may be to long for the small gap. For the other option would I Just glue the 135 to the horizontal soil pipe and then pan connector in to that? Cheers

The pan connector already in situ looks like a Multikwik 21/90.
Looking at the set up I'd be inclined to try a Multikwik 21 and a Multiwkik 1/14, linked by a Multikwik Multilink.

The 21 is shorter than the 21/90, and the 1/14 would eliminate the angle problem.

It looks like there may possibly have been a turn-trap pan fitted there at some time, judging by where the white pipe is and the angle it's at.

Also, because of the angle of the white pipe I do not think a 45/135 degree bend will help.

Thanks Charnwood. Do you have a link for the multikwik 21, i presume this is still a 90 but shorter? Do you think I would be Able to usethe current 90 with the 1 1/4 attached to tackle the angle?
Cheers

Link to MKB21

Link to MKB1/14

Link to Multilink

The current 90 is too long to use in conjunction with the 1/14 and a Multilink unless you cut the white pipe back.

Great stuff mate, i will probably go down that route as i dont want to start cutting the waste pipe as i only have a small hacksaw. Here is another picture of where the pipe exits the side of the bath as someone was asking me if I had any more photos
