wall hung toilet

[whyme!]

any tips on how to connect pipes correctly as when its pushed in i cant see if the connection is good or bad, mainly the flush pipe

You just need to test it mate then see if it leaks.

I use plenty of silicone grease.

i just find the seal on the toilet that the flush pipe goes in keeps pushing into the toilet rather than holding position. also the mounting is just two threads, will thhey really hold without bending?

You need to get your hand up to guide it in place.

What are you using one of those jig type things or a set of (Gorbel)brackets for the pan?

I have a Dudley jig in my own house and it was a doddle to fit the toilet cause the flush pipe sticks out a wee bit beyond the wall with those.

Also fitted the Geberit ones too with no real problems to be honest.

Put the flush pipe connector onto the flushpipe then hang the toilet loosely and if you can slide the connector into the toilet but you will need plenty of silicone.

Or alternatively use a different flush pipe connector from the one that comes with the unit.

its a frame one, and with the aquapanel mounted over frame, i just cant see anything as the toilet closes up, may need a torch and mirror to put behind so i can try and see

Best of luck mate in my own bathroom I was able to get in behind the wall hung pedestal to have a look.

The flushpipe connectors that come with these units aren't exactly great they are a wee bit to flexible but you can get more rigid ones that don't move as you push the flushpipe into them.

We call them adaptus (sp) joints ,they cost about a £1 or so you'll get them in any decent plumbers merchant.You might want to give that a go.
