Weird pan connector

It would normally be a 3 1/2" fitting, that being said though, there isn't enough depth in a cast iron bell to secure a pan connector into it properly. You would need a piece of pipe about 6" long to be sealed into that bell - it would usually be a piece of cast or lead that's been sealed in with oakum and putty - then the pan connector would fit into that.
When it gets to the point when just left with the bell then I'd be cutting it back and fitting a modern fernco coupler with some 110mm pipe

My initial reaction I'm afraid is all those bends is asking for trouble.
Oh my, I see the way it was fitted, not the prettiest.
Same as hugh though you really want gradual bends where possible, how much fall is it that run too? Height difference at the top of the pan spigot against the top of the inside of the cast?

Where does the cast run to, would be better to rerun the waste if the pan is moving through 90Deg like that IMO.
Ouch, that's a bit of a bugger. Wouldn't really want to hack a nice piece of cast like that, that looks in excellent condition. Even then you probably wouldn't get a new 110mm pipe through the wall given where the stack is located.
Ok, the 2 options are:
1. re-instate the toilet back to where it was on the left
2. go with what you have put in but be aware that all those beds is such close proximity to each other it isn't ideal and it would be a good idea to leave easy access to it in case it needs serviced in the future.
Again ..... what is the fall on the pipe? Measure from the floor to the top of the pipe on the pan spigot and from the floor to the top of the pipe as it enters the cast. What the difference in mm?

That's the wrong part number but the correct fitting is shown on the Plumber's mate website.
If you have the space, box the rear and bring loo forward to allow a single right angle connection.
What we did was hachsaw off the collar on the old cast iron pipe. This took about 3 hours and we used about 6 new blades . You could use a grinder but that makes a huge mess. Then we used a pan connector that fitted inside the cast iron pipe. This is a Mac 3 pan connector for 80mm inside diameter cast iron.
