Pan Connector, Which One?

[Martin Stone]

I've recently bought a 70s house and I am currently doing a bit of DIY before I move in.

There is a nasty smell coming from the under stairs toilet and when I looked I could see whatever it was sealing the pan connector isn't doing it's job any longer. I'm not sure what connector I need. I've measured the OD of the pipe going into the ground and that is about 190mm. The pan is the standard 100mm. type. I've attached a couple of pics.

Depends on the internal size but a bent pan connector should work may need a drain connector if it’s odd

Soak the pan to floor screws with wd40 for a few days, looks like they have been there awhile.

When its all ready as above, my 40 years experience tells that
ONLY get the relevant MultiKwick component none
of the others , these units are far superior and well engineered ..let us know how you get on please ..feed back is good....Rob Foster aka centralheatking

Rubber gloves and hot soapy water, make sure all connections are clean.

Are you trying to make good and leave existing wc pan in? If so a MKS1 may suffice. If you’re replacing the wc pan, then as Shaun said a bent pan connector (mks2190) and an extension piece, depends internal drain diameter.

Thanks for the replies guys.

I'll take it apart then and see what's lurking beneath the yucky stuff.

At the moment I just want to make good the existing install. I will however be putting in a new WC later in the year.

OK. It took me an hour or so but I managed to remove the concrete without breaking anything (except the concrete 🙂). ID is 100mm. So if I get a straight pan connector will that suffice for now?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Problem is it might not seal on the ribs in the pan you can try

Yes a straight

Well done for no damage 😀
It should do, but looking at the style an mks1 may fit better, unless you fancy measuring the spigot diameter of the wc pan?

So, put the pan in place. Stuff a rolled up polythene bag between the outlet and the drain pipe & finish with plumbers mait.
