moving toilet

[craig85]

Hi guys just registered so I could get some descent advice as been getting contradictory advice in plumbing supply shops. I need to move the toilet 100mm to the left. Everybody in the shops agreed it was do-able but one said there was an actual adaptor to do the job of connecting the wc to the waste pipe, right now its just a 90 degree bend connector. someone else said just use a flexi connector but I thought that might cause a blockage. the waste pipe goes down through the floor boards. I thought the multikwick 100mm offset adaptor would be what I needed but not sure now, thanks for any help

Welcome to the forum Craig.

flexi connectors do make things easier, but will it be on show?
you say it is in the floorboards, can the waste not be moved across to suit the new wc position?
then just use a standard bent pan connector??
what are you connecting into?

you say you have already been to the plumbing shop, that still has to be the best place, you can take a drawing, measurements of what you want to do and get whatever fittings you need from them

thanks for reply, how easy is it to move the waste pipe? and it will not be on show as we will need to box it in. as soon as I figure out how to get pics from my phone on to the computer I will put one up

if its a ho pan then a bent flexi will do the job it wont be a problem as it running downwards

you really want a plumbers merchant

What's a ho pan? I was in a plumbers merchant and the guy had to pick up the phone to get the answers to my questions so wasn't great

post a picture. It could be easy, it could be a mare.

Horizontal outlet (P trap).
Depends if you want to do the job right or just do it the easiest way.
A flexi connector is the easiest, lifting the boards and altering the soil pipe is the best way.
