Wc connector into soil stack loose

[Bobthebuilder95]

Hi all,

I have a soul stack pipe in the bathroom with an i/d of bang on 110mm with a rubber seal. I bought a mcalpine 90* pan connector which said it was for 110mm soil pipes. However it is extremely loose, the o/d including the ribs is only just 110mm meaning it doesn't seal.

What's the solution here as looking online 110mm is the only connector size sold for a toilet wastes?

Is the existing pipe plastic? If you're trying to fit a finned pan connector tail into a 110mm socket, it will be loose. Either use a 110mm 'Pancon' which has a 110mm spigot tail to fit into the socket, (https://www.bes.co.uk/pancon-90-s-toilet-pan-connector-110mm-12720), or slot a short section of 110mm soil pipe into the socket, and then fit the finned connector into that.

Hi, you've hit the nail on the head there! Thank you! Much appreciated

That's what we're here for, glad to be of help.

In case you're not aware, if fitting a piece of 110mm into the socket, you must chamfer the leading edge of the pipe and lubricate the rubber seal slightly or it'll dislodge the seal.

Hi,

Just for closure I bought a length of waste pipe as suggested cut it down and it's all installed and working now. Happy days!
