Toilet pan connector leak - non-standard spigot size?

[AlexGas]

Looks like too much side pull creates unwanted pressure on the pan connector seal and it leaks.

Will the hose clamp sort this out? Or is there a better solution?

If you are trying to keep it simple try the latest, new pan connector from McAlpine. It's WC-CON8F18-S-BTW.

97-107mm Inlet - 3 1/2"/110mm Outlet
Closed 230mm
Extended 480mm

OK, it doesn’t look pretty but if you are not spending money on moving the 4” pipe going through the wall into the corner and maybe boxing the lot later, you have to leave with what you've got. It’s your call.

Looks like it will do the job. Will look into it.

Probably is the spigot, a mate of mine had a non stop problem with his toilet doing the same, I looked at it for him and the spigot out of round so connector wasn't getting a good enough seal on it. I stripped it all down for him and used some really strong water resistant sealant. Not ideal but it's done the job and doesn't look a mess. Not sure the same will work for you though if the spigot diameter is odd altogether.

Won't the hose clip sort that out?

I reckon it should, depending on how soft the rubber pipe is under the clip. If the head on the jubilee clip is Hexagon then you might need a socket rather than a screwdriver if the pan spigot if is badly out of round, Just tighten it bit by bit until the leak stops and go gentle at the other end because it`s two soft materials there!
