The recent thread on toilet flush problems was so helpful that I hope someone will be able to help me too.
A so-called "builder" left me with the 100mm soil pipe sticking out of the concrete floor of a new bathroom which is proving really difficult to connect into.
For a start, it is angled at least ten degrees off the vertical. Also it's too close to the wall to fit a vertical outlet pan, but I don't want to bring the WC further forward than is necessary with a side outlet WC and extra bend - unless that's the only answer.
I have bought a 0-to-90 adjustable bend but that doesn't seem to help a lot, as it raises the top of the pipe too high for vertical outlet, and I would need a sharper bend, not a shallower one, to adapt to a back outlet. I've also tried an offset rubber connecter for vertical use but I'm not sure if its flanges will provide a good enough seal at such an angle, and also the offset of under 3" still isn't enough.
I can't make any further progress as I haven't bought the WC yet, simply because I don't know whether a rear or bottom outlet would be best. From my point of view the latter is preferable, but is there a model in which the outlet is slightly closer to the rear wall than most? If not, exactly what bits do I need to sort out this mess?
