McAlpine Pan Connectors Query

[Ian_S]

Hi,
I'm going to attempt installing a new back to wall toilet soon and was hoping someone could advise me if it is possible to Connect the McAlpine MacFit MAC-1 straight connector to the MAC-8 90 degree connector using the Linking connector MACLINK.

MAC-1:

MAC-8:

MACLINK:

Thanks

That’s how it’s usually done. Any reason you need to use a straight and bent pan connector?

Yes you can. But you could just use a WC-CON3 to omit the Mac-1 and the Maclink.

Thanks for the response. So the WC-CON3 can also be cut to a shorter length?

Yes, its just a piece of plastic pipe so you can cut it to any length you want.

I did it the way you originally proposed after a mcalpine flexi leaked but then realised i could have got away with one less part.

Perfect, thanks for your help.

I wouldn't put a WC-CON3 straight into a bent WC connector, they are not meant for that as they are meant to go into 110mm sockets. It will be very tight (it is doable but a bit of a faff).

Use an MKL1 to connect two pan connectors https://www.cityplumbing.co.uk/Multikwik-Multilink-Pan-Connector-MKL1/p/834983
