Good afternoon all. Some advice would be very much appreciated.
I have a new build extension and have had a close coupled toilet fitted with the soil pipe exiting through the wall at 90' to the left of the pan. The cistern sits at an angle about 20mm away from the wall on the left and 10mm on the right so the whole toilet is at an angle.
Looking at the label the connector used is a Flopast SP161 92.5, it is jammed hard against the wall at the back so the cistern will not go back any further against the wall. Wrong connector?
Many thanks
 
Any pics ??
 
What you’ve posted is a soil pipe bend
 
Thanks for the replies, pics posted. Looks like the bend is too fat as it is against the toilet and the wall??

If that black elbow is attached to the pan then yes it’s wrong
 
Yes, it would appear to have a cuff which attaches to the pan.. Can't see behind though. What would the correct one be please, only others I have seen are swan neck?
 
There are all sorts of connectors take a look at mcalpine. A WC-CON8E might sort you out

Don't think that would work

Come across these sort of pans before there connector is further in than normal

Normally use a bent and a straight with some pipe
 
You may be right mate. I just wasn’t sure based on the angle of the soil pipe

Looks like they've allowed for a stnd toilet
 
is it just me or do i see loads of people with bodged in close coupled toilets, I've seen them stood off the wall further than that by a long way, always looks horrendous.
 
If you are near Screwfix then these should sort you out - 2866p, 98788 & 95284 or similar.
Looks like a builder put it in i expect.
If you are really in the sh*t then as a last resort a flexible pan connector may bail you out,
Cheers,

Thanks for all the replies, it is appreciated. The fall on the soil pipe is ok. Work was done by a professional plumber employed by the builder who was running the small extension job. The build is complete and has been paid for. Everything else is ok but noticed this when I came to do some decorating.

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...
