My daughter has recently had her downstairs toilet panelled by a joiner.They previously had a boxed in stop tap next to the wc and to try and make it a neat job he has fully boxed in behind the wc with an access panel for the stop tap. The problem is the existing 90 degree pan connector finishes just inside the boxing and is too far away to get the wc back on to it. So I need a new straight wc connector from the toilet but how do I connect this into the 90 degree pan connector that is already there as the pipe end of the new straight connector seems to be too small to create a good seal.
 
Could I suggest getting the joiner back to box it properly?? Also if the existing pan connector is still there you don’t really want to be pushing another pan connector into it, it’s a leak waiting to happen.
 
First thing is never reuse a existing pan connector. You can fit a straight into a bent but not ideal, better to change bent for soil pipe bend if possible.

Unfortunately he didn't get a good brief from my daughter/ son in law and he was doing what he felt produced the best looking job without realising the effect on the plumbing.

Also avoid conecting pan connectors together, but if you must then you need one of these in the joint;
Multikwik MKL1 Multilink Pan Connector | Wickes.co.uk

And support the connectors so they don't separate.

Thanks Snowhead,that is exactly what I want but couldn't find.I've just ordered off eBay with postage a lot cheaper than Wickes. I don't think many plumbers merchants will stock as probably very little demand. Thanks again

Connecting new toilet to waste
As part of a slow DIY bathroom refit I've removed the old toilet from the original location next to the soil pipe (and obviously capped off the branch) and plan to place it the opposite end of the room. I was pretty lucky to find a 110mm sewer waste pipe below the old sink which is the new...

Can you fit flexi pan connector directly into clay soil pipe?
Hi, fitting a back to wall toilet in a small cloakroom. The soil pipe is a vertical clay pipe about 20cm from the wall and so I will have to build boxing to be able to fit the toilet to the wall (this will hold the concealed cistern). I bought a flexi 90deg pan connector for back-to-wall...

Leak - pan connector from cast iron stack
Hi all, We've got a toilet that's been leaking due to a faulty seal with the pan connector. We've had a plumber in to replace the pan connector, but it hasn't done anything to fix the leak (and has cost us over £200). The plumber has told us that it can't be fixed due to the height of the old...
