extending toilet waste outlet

jwturpin · 21 Feb 2011

Hello

I'm fitting a toilet into a newly converted downstairs loo.

See photo here

PICTURE OF TOILET

The wall the toilet is up against is a false wall, with the macerator behind it. I have yet to cut the hole in the wall, but as you can see, the outlet on rear of toilet will not reach.

I need to buy an extender, but have no idea what they're called, or where to get one from, could anyone suggest?

Thanks in advance

Straight pan connector. Various lengths/angles/offsets/etc.

From plumbers merchants, Been and Queued, Screwfix, sheds, builders merchants, etc, etc, etc, etc

I bought one of those from Wickes, and it was wrong, hence me thinking i didn't know what i needed.

See Wickes extender

The rubber gasket seal is too large to fit in the toilet pan connector, The other end is ok that goes into the macerator.

Did I buy the wrong thing, or do they come in different sizes?

you bought the right thing it`s the wrong way round and you need a pan connector too

If I turn it around, then I'll be trying to stuff the rubber gasket end into the macerator, which already has a rubber gasket in it. Do I remove the one of the connector?
If that's the case, it makes a bit more sense now!

Really appreciate your help!

Check out Wickes 431-975? The white plastic bit can be cut to length, as the black rubber seal is removable.

i dont know what the macerator end looks like but if it has a rubber gasket similar to the one in the second pic you could fit a piece of 110mm PVC pipe into the macerator and a pan connector between the pan and PVC pipe, but im not sure if you can buy 1m lengths of 110 PVC pipe, if not you might need 2 of the white extention connectors you have plus a pan connector as it looks as 1 extention will still be too short

IMO hiding a macerator away behind a false wall isn't a particularly good idea. You will need plenty of room to get at it to clean it out when - not if - WHEN - it gets blocked.
