Close-coupled pan.

joe-90 · 28 Oct 2005

Hi folks. I was wondering if anyone knows a way of replacing a traditional loo (cistern attached to the wall) with a close coupled pan.

The existing soil pipe is cast-iron and is directly downwards rather than through the wall at an angle.

If you use a conector to connect the close-coupled pan it is away from the wall by about 4".

Is it possible to re-rout the soil pipe or would it require BC to get involved?

Cheers.

You don't need BC for above ground drainage.

Can the pipe be cut back and then a pan connector used?

Might be wise to ask a plumber to have a look.

Could you use a swan neck connector it would get you about 3" back or maybe a flexible one from plumb centre they are soft and you could gain more??

Thanks folks. I'm always suspicious of those flexible concertina type jobs as they always look like they would block up easily.

Cheers.
