Hi All!

House is from the 1950s. The soil stub coming through the wall sits noticeably lower than the outlet on my pan.

I was running a rigid 40mm offset connector and it blocked repeatedly. When it blocked it always cleared right at the connector itself, never further down, so I don't think the underground run is the problem.

I've since pulled the pan away from the wall and put a flexi concertina connector on, which stops the blockages but looks like the bodge it is. The original pan sat about 130mm from the wall, so there isn't room to build a proper drop with two 45s and keep it there.

Two questions:

1. Does anyone know of a close-coupled or back-to-wall pan with a genuinely low outlet centre height?

2. Or would I be better off cutting the stub out and reconnecting to the stack at a higher level? The stack is internal (2 storey extension on what was the back wall).

Grateful for any thoughts.

Not my area, although I'll try and help.

Think I would consider solid 110mm soil pipe out the wall to a 45 degree solid soil pipe bend, then a McAlpine 45 degree angle rigid WC Connector on toilet.
Could do it all in white.

Toilet is away from wall by looks of it. You going to box in behind?
