Advice on fitting new toilet in cloakroom please

[TanDiy]

Hi,
I am looking to replace an old toilet with a more modern close coupled option and wondered if this is likely to fit in with the current soil pipe arrangement shown in the pics below. The pipe entering from the right hand side is the waste coming from the sink. I have measured a couple of new toilets and am not sure that they will push back close enough against the wall (I do not want to put a wooden batten between the cistern and the wall - I want the cistern flush against the wall). I am thinking that I might need to install new connectors but am not sure how this should be - thanking everybody for any advice.

Hi Nigel,

Many thanks for this - the only problem I have is that the pipe to the sink runs pretty low right along the side wall to the sink. I think the waste connector at the top of the soil pipe connector would need me to run the sink waste a lot higher from the sink which would be difficult to box in. However, if this is the only option then I may have to go with this. Thanks again.

You may have an old ‘P’ trap pan which will have a 14 degree fall to the outlet.
In which case you should be able to get the new pan to fit by using a pan connector with a 14 degree angle, a Multikwik MKB1/14, Polypipe Kwickfit SK44 or McAlpine WC-CON7A, for example.
It all depends on the angle of the plastic junction.

Modern pans are horizontal outlet which are, err, horizontal.

If you're getting rid of the junction - which you may need to do to get the cistern flush to the wall, then something like a Multikwik Multiclick MKC2 flexible concertina type pan connector, MKB21, MKB21/90 or a McAlpine WC-CONQ, if space really is at a premium.

Just come back and seen your latest post.

Re the sink (basin) waste pipe, then a Multikwik MKBB21/90 might be the thing you require.
