My pan waste outlet is at an angle to the soil stack. I have put on a standard flexible waste tube with a push fit seal onto the pan but it is not holding and has never sealed properly.
Q. Do I trust my luck with another of these push-fit tubes, or is there a flexible tube with a rubber washer and threaded sleeve and collar that can be screwed tight onto the pan. Or do I need to consider using plumbers mate or a sealant to somehow seal the existing tube around the pan outlet?
Thanks

I have no idea what you're trying to describe here.

No - sealant is not required; instead do this:

1. Measure the outside diameter of the pan spigot.
2. Go to a plumbers' merchant.
3. Buy, or, if necessary, order, a Multikwik pan connector of the size that is correct for your pan.
4. Ignore any advice such as "oh this one'll be alright mate" with respect to a connector for a different pan spigot size.
5. If necessary, wait for the product to arrive.
6. Take connector home.
7. Fit connector in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
8. Stand back in amazement.
