Joining New Toilet To Cast Iron Soil Pipe

[UKBFG]

Hi

We're just having the bathroom done and the new toilet connection currently looks like this:-

This looks a bit messy to me and was wondering if there was any way of making it look better/neater?

Thanks

Should you of asked the question before the bathroom was done?

It looks like a fook up all round with the flexy feeding cistern.

The cast iron socket should have been cut flush to the wall before plastering.

As above, cut the cast iron socket off and you may be able to use the same fittings if you're lucky.

Probably, yes, but I didn't know that at the time. A plumber did the work, but I'm thinking there might be a way to tidy it up a bit more.

What should be used instead of the flexi then?

 

[Terrywookfit]

I would have moved the supply to come up below the cistern and used copper.
I would have removed the CI socket also!!
And screwed the pan down.

There's nothing wrong with using a flexi supply.
I'm assuming that there's an isolator just off camera?

You could easily pull the WC, its not been fixed to the floor (& wall?) and cut the hub with a 9" angle grinder.
You dont have tile or decorations done, so I'd do it now.

The pan connector is not making a good connection to the pan spigot, and after cutting the hub you might have a lower connection to make into the pipe in the wall.
Perhaps an offset connector would do the trick better than the present connector?

If you intend to tile the wall then the tile will bring you back a few mm's - tile the wall esp around the soil pipe before setting the pan.

Except that it looks as rough as fook!!

It looks to be in keeping with the rest of the install though!!

the flexi trap strikes again. I suggested flexis once and got shot down

So everyone's impressed then?

In fairness, he's worked really hard and done a good job with everything else and it's looks nice overall. Do you think it's reasonable to ask for it to be tidied up a bit then?

I'm not too bothered about the flexi pipe, as I think it looks quite neat. Should I be?

Leave it if you're happy with it. I'd definitely sort the soil pipe though.
