Soil pipe diameter bigger than standard pan connector.

[sleptwithatradesman]

Hi,

I have an awkward back to wall close coupled WC to fit. It has a horizontal outlet.

The existing soil connection is vertical. The soil pipe ID is a bit bigger than a standard 90 deg. WC connector I've tried and is not a snug fit.

The old scabby existing WC is one with a vertical outlet with a type of enlarging collar on it to fit the bigger soil pipe. photo below...

Can anyone point me in the direction of a suitable fitting for my 90 connection?

Thank.

What is the ID of the pipe?

 

[sleptwithatradesman]

The ID at the top is about 120 although it's not perfectly round. It seems to be stepped and is 110mm about 80mm down.

If I stick the standard connector down further it's a good fit.

Looks like I need an extension or a long 90 connector if such a thing exists.

I'll then be left with a gap at the top. I guess if it's tight further down I'll be ok?

cheers for replying

Yes, use a long tail connector for function, and fill or cover to tidy it up.

Just nipped out and got an extension piece. Thanks.

I've noticed the toilet has no provision for fixing to the ground.

It's one of these: http://www.bathempire.com/ladoga-toilet-and-cistern_p22288494.htm

Will a bead of silicon do it?

There are no holes in the cistern either. There is U shaped cutout I'll be able to use if I fix a batten inside the citsern and bolt through this to the wall.

cheers

Silicone might do it, but try reading the instructions!

Good idea.......if they were supplied with any.
