Toilet install - is this a no no

[davo66]

Hi,

Can anyone advise whether installing a loo using a flexible (corrgugted) waste through a 270 degree change in direction (3 90 degree bends) is a good idea?

The distance from loo to soil stack is approximately 800mm

Thanks

Depends how often you want to unblock it.

best not screw the wc and cistern down, seeing as you'll be moving it so often

 

[davo66]

Is it the corrugated flexi that's the problem, or the number of bends?

Or a combination of the two?

 

[lame plumber]

flexis are for diy cover ups and any bend is going to slow the flow, common sense really

I sometimes use flexis if i have to and your wc will always work but with the 3 90s and the flexi is a bad combination, is there no way u can limit or reduce amount of bends I.E if seen idiots put in 2 90 bends instead of simply putting 2 45s, i know 4" doesnt offer loads leeway but 3 90s is quite savage

Soz shouldve said never used corragated only ever used Mcalpine plasti ones as ribs are tiny ,,,,,,

the corragated flexi,, the guy maybe had left over from fitting his cooker hood

Should be fine so long as your definitely on a high fibre diet

Thanks everyone - looks like I need to have a bit of a rethink on this one. Cheers for the feedback
