Leave it as it is or straighten it up and centre it

[Thomo39]

Morning, please can I have some expert opinions on the situation I've got with a soil pipe (see photo)
Am I best leaving it straight and then using a Flexi pan connector to connect into the solid pipe as it is in the picture or would I best straighten the solid pipe and centering it with some 45 degree joints .
The pipe will be covered by a vanity unit with a concealed cistern.
Many thanks

Looks like it's on push fit, so could you manoeuvre it and use an offset pan connector?

Hi cheers for the reply, it's solvent weld but I haven't glued it yet as was waiting for some advice , just to clarify are you saying bring it out as it is or straighten it, all the joints would be inaccessible so not sure if I'm better leaving it and just taking a Flexi pan connector straight in ?

You could use a Flexi, but they're susceptible to rodent damage and holding crap. Measure your floor to WC centre line and accommodate the pipe plus flooring etc.

If it is all loose and you have the ability to straight line it properly to use a rigid pan connector to the toilet spigot then best to do that.

Flexi's have their place and certainly the McAlpine ones are so much better than they use to be with smoother internals and opaque pipe that reduces light transmission.

I must also be honest though and say that I've seen rigid pan connector chewed through just as I have flexi's.
