need to bring toilet away from wall but don't know......

[soccercelt]

Ive been changing 2 toilets from the old 80s type to the more modern but I've hit a stumbling block in the tiny ensuite I've been installing the first one . Where the pipe outlet to outside is, and where the new toilet is is causing me problems. To visualise it, the pipe is right in right in the right hand corner about near 3 inch from the wall and when I screw the toilet to the floor and wall with the flexi waste taking a bend to the right, it won't go on properly and is leaking a tiny amount. What will solve the problem is if I screw a 4 or 3 inch block of timber to the wall and then screw the toilet to the timber but I'm wanting to know is there anything else out there that's abit more tidier than a block of wood. Any suggestions.


Next is a wet room with a similar problem only this is on the left hand corner

Is it not possible to have the soil pipe moved? Is it an outside wall?

dont use a flexi perhaps

Yea, a flexi just ain't that flexi!

Yeah outside wall and inside walls are already tiled

What else can I use, it needs to take more than a 90 bend then another small bend.

Just seen video on YouTube where a guy uses plumbers mate around the rubber seal, has anyone tried this before?

Can't you do something with the soil pipe outside? I'm not sure packing it out with plumbers mate is a good solution...

Shouldn't need any sealant.
You can get flexi with a 90 degree bend for onto pan spigot.
Also you could use white 110mm pipe & possibly a tight 90 bend plus a pan 90 bend

Does the 90bend with flexi be thiner than the flexi onto toilet itself? Reason being is there's also a 1/2inch gate valve in way.

id be chasing a 90 in 110 into the wall then a 90 pan conector to the toilet itll need boxing in anyways

To tight an area to do all this I recon. Someone suggested to bring the toilet out a little with some wbp or marine ply. It might even hold with some strong silicone if left alone for awhile to dry.

Flexi pan connectors are the work of the devil. All those little ridges gathering poo.

Tried one of these but needed to be that little bit longer and the part with the rubber on it tgat fits onto the toilet, could of came forward an extra 1 1/2 - 2 inch back to the drawing board
