Pan Connector problem

[Craig BALL]

Hi, does anyone have any recommendations for what pan connector arrangement would be best suited for a side entry soil pipe with 3” vertical offset? The pan is an ideal Standard Della and the deep side of the pan slightly obscures the soil pipe by about 5mm. I tried a straight flexi but it fouls the wall and a 90deg flexi was better but it seems to want to pull off the pan spigot and doesn’t sit straight in the soil pipe. Many Thanks

The issue you have is the pan is designed for rear exit or floor

Your going to need a bent extended pan connector a piece of 110mm or the adapter then a straight pan connector

Its not going to be 'pretty' no matter what you do!

Thanks Shaun, much appreciated. By extended do you mean the long nose connector or the flexi?

Yes I am coming to that conclusion. Its a job I am doing for my mother in law. I have an ideal standard vue toilet boxed up in my spare room that I never got round to installing in my home. I think that has better access behind so may be easier to swap and install that.

Either box the pan forward or dig into the wall behind the soil pipe to give you a bit more room.

As said above though. Wrong pan for the job.

She is proper old school mate. Took me a month to get her away from gold shower and taps.

Thanks everyone for your help and advice, really appreciated. I changed the toilet for the Vue and connected up very nicely. Mother in law will be happy

I just finished it. In-laws are back from their hols Friday so got a deadline to meet. Tomorrow evenings challenge is the pedestal basin

Think I'd put something under that 4" at floor level to try to raise it a smidge personally so its all a fall. The run off from that flexi will make everything 'stick' if you get my drift. If it can run a little faster it'll stay clearer longer. Just my opinion.

If you use the second option I think you will need a Multikwik Multilink connector MKL1, it is just a sleeve that you put over the fins of the first connector before pushing into the other connector. I got one recently from Wolseley to do a job at my daughter's and it worked a treat.
