WC connection

[mallen]

Hi All,

I have an issue fitting a new WC in an ensuite.

The existing soil pipe protrudes vertically out of the floor between the joists.
I need to ensure that the cistern sits flush to the wall however at the moment it cant and I dont want to build the wall out as space is already at a premium.

Im looking for something that is similar maybe to a swan neck WC connector but it needs to have the pan connector recessed further back so that the cistern can go on the wall if you see what I mean

Does anybody know if such a thing exists and where?

I had heard that villeroy and boch do something but I have never seen one.

Thanks for any advice as Im rather stuck and the soil pipe cant really be moved.

Thanks,
matthew

why cant you move the soil pipe back

 

[mallen]

There is a bit a movement in the pipe but not a great deal.

I dont want to move the pipe below as it will then become a major undertaking I just wondered if there was something available that happened to be a more 'acute' swan neck style connector.

I might be able to do it with an offset and a swan neck maybe....

how much do you need to move it ?

 

[mallen]

Only about 2 to 3" more than a standard swan neck backwards.

if you can get in to cut the pipe a flexi might just do it

another option is to fit a low level cistern with flush pipe rather than close coupled set
