Hi all,
I'm new to the forum and hoping for some advice. I'm a keen DIYer and am planning to try and replace my downstairs cloakroom in the house we've just moved into with a new suite. I've replaced sinks before and changed a cistern siphon a few times, but never removed a whole toilet.
I'm fairly confident with most parts, except for the waste. in particular, I've never seen a set up like the one in my downstairs toilet before - the house was built in the late 70s. I'm a bit nervous about what I might find, and whether I'll be able to plumb something new into it. I have taken a photo of the waste pipe setup. - there is a smaller diameter pipe that looks like it's just pushed into a larger diameter one.
I'm hoping I'll be able to pull out what is there and then push in a new fitting, but I'm probably being a bit over-optimistic :smartass:
I'd be grateful for any advice from anyone who has encountered this kind of pipework before on what to expect, and whether there are any special tools or fittings I'm likely to need.
Many thanks in advance everyone.
