I replaced my toilet the other day. When I pulled the old one away from the wall and disconnected the pan from the soil pipe I noticed that rather than the toilet going straight into a 4 inch soil pipe via a pan adapter as I expected, the 4 inch soil pipe had a 5 inch flange with a rubber seal on the end which the toilet pan pushed straight into.
I removed the seal and chucked it away thinking that a straight pan adapter would go through the flange and sit inside the 4 inch pipe beyond it. However when I did this, I found the new pan adapter wont push far enough into the soil pipe for the toilet to sit up against the wall. It looks like I need one of these rubber sleeves but Ive looked in the normal places (for me anyway, B&Q, Screwfix, Toolstation etc) but cant find what Im looking for. Google has proved useless as I dont know the name of the part I am searching for. Can anyone help me identify the part and tell me where I can get one?
Sorry, no photo. I binned the one I took off as it was probably about 30 years old and it was, well, grim.
Thanks for any help anyone can give
