Swan Neck Loo connector

[dal5band]

I am planning to replace a toilet which connected to the soil pipe in the floor. The soil pipe is approx 230mm (9") (to centre of pipe) from the wall.

Has anybody used a swan-neck connecter - how much distance does the oulet come forward compared to 90 degree one ?

Thanks

i dont know what u'll gain but it will be atmost 2-4 inches.
seems u are going to have to build a false wall or try for a low level toilet

Disappointingly little, maybe 2". The problem is often that the base of the pan hits the pipe! Some designs of pan will let you go further than others, and I have taken a diamond disc to some. Villeroy and Boch do a connector which would, pan permitting, let you go 8" or so back - you cut it to suit. About £30 though.

Thanks guys. 2-3 inches should do it plus an inch board on the back wall.
I've been walking around showrooms looking at backs of the toilets. The ones with an outlet not sticking out so much seem to have the base sticking out with a piece accross at floor level.

Can you not lift the floor, reposition the soil pipe and recut the hole in some new floor?

Solid Floor, earthenware soil pipe - I am not touching that !!

Take a look at my post HERE It may be that you could use the Bent flexible pan connector WC CON8F and perhaps move the pan along a bit?
