Pan - Soil Pipe Puzzle

[btibuzz]

Hi all been looking through the archives and found some useful stuff related to this but still not crystal on it so before I go ahead would appreciate it if you could have a look and let me know if I'm going wrong any where.

It's the old "new toilet to old soil pipe after re-fit" conundrum.

The link will be exposed so I'd rather not get into flexi-pipes if I can avoid.

After re-tiling floor etc pan pipe centre is now at 180mm from the floor surface.

Soil pipe (110mm) is flush with wall at 130mm from the floor surface.

With Close fitted cistern installed and butted against wall the pan pipe is 250mm from the wall.

Am I right in thinking that the 180mm - 130mm height difference in centres mean the offset is 50mm?

I can't find a 50mm offset connector but I have found a 40mm offset (Macalpine WC-CON4A) and an extension with a 10mm offset (WC-EXTC).

Will putting these together (cutting the extension to the correct length) solve my problem without resorting to flexi pipe or have I missed something?

Is Macalpine the only company that does this range of sizes/variations? I can't seem to find this level of detail on others - they do offsets but doesn't appear to say how far off - Also that's the only offset extension I found

Cheers

Hi. I would have thought the 40 mm off set would be sufficient, bearing in mind 10 mm over 250 mm will give the soil a fall and the fitting are quite forgiving. Good luck

Tks for response

I'm hoping you're right 'cos the 10mm offset extension isn't available, so I've ordered the straight version and the 40mm offset pan connector and will cross my fingers.

Cheers
