Hi
Property = Bungalow
I've removed a long length of soil pipe to reposition a new toilet.
The old toilet was joined by two staggered 90 degree bends (like a staircase) to achieve it's position.
The position I now need is different.
As the soil pipe comes in from the wall it immediately turns on a 90 degree bend. Then it runs parallel to the wall for 2' (609mm).
I need to add another 90 degree bend to place the toilet where I want it.
(at the end of the 2' - not where it enters the wall).
MY QUESTION
What is the best way of connecting the pan and the soil pipe
at 90 degrees?
I do not want to use a flexible connector.
Do I have to add another 110 soil pipe bend and then a small section of soil pipe and then a pan connector, or can I do the whole connection with one 90 degree pan connector?
So you know what the end of the soil pipe likes like where I've cut it - it allows one of those black rubber fins 'blanking ends' to be pushed in.
I'm trying to get as close to the wall for the cistern as I can - as it is, I've got to build a box as the soil pipe runs parallel to the wall.
One other point - can you buy 110 soil pipe 90 degree bends?
All I've seen at Wickes/B&Q are 87.5 degrees - why is this?
Many thanks in advance.
