Another toilet bodge

[Matt0029]

I have got another toilet bodge to sort out. Looks like the pan connector has pulled out/ and or is too short. To fit correctly in to the short stub of plastic pipe that is siliconed in to the plastic pipe as it comes through the wall.

 

[Matt0029]

Does that look like an offset pan connector or straight you?

Personally I'd cut the soil pipe back flush to the wall and install a Wirquin flexi. I use 'em cos they have smooth internals.

The only reason they've used silicone here is cos they've gone into the boss instead of the soils stack proper.

Thanks it's just 4 inch pipe but flanged out. Why is this?

 

[Matt0029]

After the part were it flanges out. It must be normal 4inch pipe?

The flange or socket would have been where the original pan outlet fitted in, with a gasket.

likey this;
Osma 4S120 1 - Hunter S248 WC Toilet Pan Gasket - 46000010 - Plumbers Mate Ltd

As above cut flush with the wall and it will take a flex or straight connector.

 

[Matt0029]

Ok yeah that's a better view of it.

 

[Matt0029]

Did they use to sell full lengths of 4 inch pipe with a flange on the end. Or is it likely to be socketed in the wall?

Are the wirquin ones good quality?

I found 'em to be. Used to buy them from Toolstation.

Just cut that socket off Matt. You're down to 4" then so a flexi will fit in perfectly AND seal
