When I tried to fit my toilet to its waste pipe I found that the 110mm pipe sticking out of the wall is slighly lower than the outlet of the toilet. I can get the straight waste connector that I have (KWIKFIT SK40) to fit onto the toilet and into the plastic waste pipe but it is really pinching the rubber gasket at the top of the plastic waste pipe (looser at the bottom) this is before I have added a silicone bed under the toilet which will probably make it even tighter. My gut feeling is that I could end up with a leak. I believe I can get an OFFSET CONNECTOR which should allow the gasket to set more centrally in the waste pipe. I found one on the screwfix website (Floplast SP102) but I am not sure how much offset this has. It also has one bad review about it leaking!

Any suggestions on a good quality offset connector with a small offset?

Thanks,

The WC-CON4 looks like it will do the job.

I will have a ring around a few local merchants and sort it out.

Thanks again

Yes!

Originally, all "P" traps where usually a standard height, but could only be used as "P" trap pans, then they brought out the modern horizontal outlet pans that can convert to an "S" trap. So all a stockist has got to do now, is carry one "P" trap pan instead of "P" and "S" traps.

But Mc Alpines make quite a range of off set pan connectors to help fit the modern pan to an old soil stack. They are good, but measure your pan spigot and soil pipe branch outlet as you can get a difference in WC adaptor sizes as well as the offset size.
