Flush pipe connector not fully in.

[NiccoloC]

The flush pipe connector will not fully insert.

The first 2 flanges are completely in, the third partially.

There is not much room between the pipe and the input. When I remove the pipe to check, the connector has not slipped up the pipe. I marked the pipe to ensure it has gone in as far as it can.

No leak on testing but I'm not happy with it sticking out. What do you think?

Who supplied the connector? Did it come with the toilet?

yes, all came as one unit.

Is it straight when assembled?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

does it actually fit in all the way / can it eg enough depth

Yes, it goes in as far as possible.

Yes, it is horizontal.

Try some washing up liquid/silicone spray on the inlet not much

That's how I got it in.

Some designer pans esp. italian stuff never seem to fit together properly and this looks typical of this they often do not flush the stuff away effectively either

Not what Shaun asked you. If depth of pan inlet is 85mm & length of rubber cone is 88mm then you will always have 3mm sticking out.

On a 22mm plinth with a mac connector.

Works a treat

I would use silly cone as its waterproof when cured, fairy liquid might just wash away and leak if you have a wickle weep. Thats my opinion after
40 years and many bogs of all sorts fitted

You said it was all lined up earlier and looked ok in the photo so why the plinth and a different pan connecter?

Silicone on a flush cone - I hate that, what's wrong with plumbers mait.

Should not need either to be honest.

Agree, silicone there when 90% of the time I have to remove the pan to get to the pump just annoys me.

That's what she said..

Good point, That was supposed to go on another thread.
The soil pipe did not line up, the flush pipe did.

The flush pipe went in with just a little washing up liquid, I have built a brace behind the 90 degree bend that prevents it moving and keeps it inserted. Two of the flanges are completely in, the third is almost completely in, you can just feel the edge of it at the rim, the fourth is flush with the surface.
