Toilet soil connector advice please

[DIYspanner]

Its started leaking.

From the photo, can anyone tell me if I can get a new connector to fit between the bowl's neck and the soil pipe that passes through the wall?

thanks

Yes it looks like an offset pan connector

Cheap and readily available

Looks like it could be straight to me, but either way replaceable.

Looks like it should be offset

Yup, trouble you have is that waste pipe is looks virtually horizontal, there is little or no fall, which means some water will always pool in the spigot connector end of the pan connector.
A new pan connector will fix it for a while as it has a new seal. It looks to me like you have a straight connector, hard to tell from the pic though.

Thanks all for posting.

Yes, the neck of the bowl is set lower than the soil pipe so the water has to run uphill.

The existing connector has lasted since '93 so not bad.

So the new one has to be one with a slight offset or one with a flexible seal such as the mac-1 ?

The only way to tell is to pull off the old one and see which one you need , it looks offset but pictures can be deceiving

or one with a flexible seal such as the mac-1 ?

That should do the trick.

Yup, either that or the WC-CON1.

I've used a WC-CON1 and it fits well. Will leak test for 24hrs then put the vinyl back down.

Thanks All!
