I took the boxing out from around this toilet yesterday to find this old style clay(?) or concerete (?) soil pipe. The existing toilet has a 90 deg spigot on the back but obviously the replacement is a nomal modern one. Can I just break the solid seal around the old spigot, whip it out and then...
Hi firstly no expert so apologies in advance but have a little bit of knowledge ( sometimes dangerous I know, lol)
The wife is wanting to change the house around a bit, refurbishing old en-suite which is at front of house but does not have a toilet at the moment, so obviously would like one.

Hey, I'll start by saying I'll be getting a plumber out to do this but wanted some advice first. We're redoing our ground floor bathroom this year and want to move the toilet to another wall as part of that. I've cracked open the boxing around the old toilet today to see what's going on behind...
Hi, fitting a back to wall toilet in a small cloakroom. The soil pipe is a vertical clay pipe about 20cm from the wall and so I will have to build boxing to be able to fit the toilet to the wall (this will hold the concealed cistern). I bought a flexi 90deg pan connector for back-to-wall...

Hi
An idiot Bathroom fitter has cut down a soil pipe and fitted an AAV valve, then placed a built in bathroom cabinet with the soil pipe in the corner unit making the only easy way to access anywhere near the soil pipe by reaching up from where the kicker board goes.
You can see from the photo...
Hi
I’m trying to find something that will connect a geberit 90mm toilet waste pipe into a standard 110mm soil stack. The geberit cistern came with an adaptor that increased the outside diameter of the pipe to 110mm. However this is the same diameter as the soil stack pipe. Is anyone aware of...

Hello all,
I'm trying to install a new toilet. The old cast soil pipe has been cut 'flush' to the inside and outside wall. On the inside, I will just use a pan connector. However, what do I do on the outside? Pictures of outside:
You can see that the remnant of the pipe in the wall is not all...
Hi
I'm in process of completing a loft conversion and need some advice on the location of a boss adapter for the shower waste. Can a boss adapter be fixed to a 4" soil pipe at 45 degrees as shown in the pictures? My main concern is that the entry to the soil pipe is on the side and with the...

Hi all, is there a way to connect a new toilet into an existing horizontal run? The problem is, due to the levels it can only connect horizontally and not from the top of the pipe. Is it ok to use a standard branch connector in this way?
We are having a few rooms knocked together down stairs and need to put a window in where the soil pipe is currently. Please can you advise what the regulations are for redirecting this? Can it go round the window and back into the drain below or do I need a whole new drain? I have attached some...
Planning drainage for a new bathroom. Assuming that all the falls/gradients are correct is there anything wrong with this plan? Soil pipe from toilet goes through wall below the floor level so that I can connect a shower waste (wetroom so flush with floor). On the other side of the exterior wall...
Hi all, looking for some soil pipe/stack help please.

Hi all
Quick question.
We went to move our soil pipe through 90* so we can move the toilet. We are just a little unsure how we can move the existing pipework.
I’ve attached a couple photos of our existing one.
Can anyone confirm whether this is a simple push fit connection or whether it’s...
