Hi all...
Figured I'd have a go at replacing the old leaky toilet in our WC, as we have another bathroom to use if I make a hames of it . This toilet was put in I would say around 2000, we bought the house a few years back and are slowly replacing things.
I removed the mask behind the toilet and disconnected/capped of the water to the cistern, and was a bit stumped by the pan connector.
From what I've seen on the interwebs, the connector fits into the soil pipe (perhaps I haven't seen enough videos/walkthroughs) and ours seems to go over... and is stuck in place with adhesive of some sort. Is this a common method for joining the pan to the soil pipe?
Ideally I'd like to remove it, as the new toilet (a combo unit w/ sink on top) needs to be quite close to the wall. If I were to re-use this pan connector it would stick out from the wall quite a bit.
