Bit of a disaster and sorry for the graphic imagery. Just installed a new toilet with a concealed cistern behind a cabinet unit that extends to the sink. I thought I had it all fitted then took a number 2 only to realise brown water came gushing out from behind the cabinet. I do a lot of DIY but never really toilets so have no idea what's wrong and what parts to get. Here's the setup:
The toilet and pipe A are brand new.
The water came gushing out around the rubber seal. When I took the cabinet off to see the pipes the seal was pushed in much further. I pulled the seal out a bit but it's still dripping. The seal is new and came with pipe A. The bend and pipe B are probably decades old. Pipe B goes to the soil stack for all the flats.
Even with the seal making the best connection it still drips, but thankfully doesn't gush out.
What it looks like inside the bend and seal.
I also have this lying around. If I cut the left side shorter and fit it into pipe B and the other end straight on to the toilet, would that be the correct way?
Any help to resolve this situation appreciated, thanks.
