big offset pan conncetion issues! help would be great

[swilli88]

I have another one for you if youre willing

So when I put together that assembly behind the jacks I forgot to fit a small extension collar to bring it to the height of the toilet outlet

so now i have this

I meant to fit this but forgot...

beneath the branch connector behind the toilet seen here which would have raised it up enough

But now to fit one of those extension couplers is a bit of a pain in the hole to say the least, cause Iv already welded sink waste via strap on boss connector above it as you can see.

My options are

1) cut, repair collar, extender to bring branch up a bit

2) something like this

. My concern is the tortuous geomertry in this and that the majority of offset pan connectors are only 20 or 40mm so has me weary of the rare 100mm one available

3) a flexible pan connector..but it would need to be a very short length of flexi

4) is there a better option that 1-3?

Would really love your wisdom on this one! thanks! had been going perfect till i realised this

I’d go with bringing the branch up a bit. Offset seems big, and flexi might get paper stuck, better with raising it less issues in the future. Imho.

hmm ok. tricky enoughto get access to it but its probably managable. I did have concerns with the big offset in such a tight space. It doesnt help that i have a run of 5.5 metres to the stack its entering (hence the aav on that vertical pipe behind the toilet). Dont want the flow losing too much momentum through that junction. But i was hoping to avoid butching my mini stack behind the toilet

best way to suggest raising branch? sever the strap on boss, raise the whole vertical with some pipe under branch and then put on new strap on boss and blank old one?

or cut small section from the middle (under strap on boss), put on slip collar, raise branch slip down collar

2nd option, or small section of pipe below branch with a socket on it, raise branch to desired height, and slip collar between.

Don't fudge it now, especially when you have access.

Raise the branch to the required level with a section of single socket and then just cut the section above down a little to bring the boss for the basin basin back into line

Yep that’s the plan, already started! Thanks guys! Appreciate it

so i got to work this morning and have it sorted now! managed to avoid repair collar too as i was able to wiggle the basin waste free of the boss connector without breaking it! so now i have the perfect height accounting for the floor to come so we are back on track! (photos attached)

thanks again
