WC pan-connector leak.

[The Bedwetter]

I am having a bit of a difficulty here with this pan-connector set-up. It is leaking slightly from the joint where the p-c on the WC connects into the elbow p-c. Would it be better to replace the elbow p-c with a single socket bend like this with a new p-c (as existing) on the back of the WC. Alternatively would it be worth considering replacement elbow p-c & straight p-c and loading the joint between the p-c’s with silicone sealant?

I reckon a 90 degree soil pipe bend would fit behind that toilet with a straight pan connector going directly into that would be the best option

It's best not to link multiple pan connectors but you can get away with it if you use a small piece of soil in the socket of the first pan connector.

a short straight flexi connector would probably just fit to that bend??

Thanks for the advice, guys.

Meady: I will take a 90° bend & straight p-c with me when I return.

MJ: That’s a good tip, Mike. I will also take a new straight p-c and elbow p-c with said section of soil pipe

Simon: Additionally I will take a flexi p-c just incase the above options do not work.

Just one thing. Would anyone be able to determine whether the existing grey 90° bend is a push-fit or solvent weld item as I am unsure if there is an easy way to tell? Stupidly forgot to check at the time. Thanks.

I've seen better lol.

I chuckled when I saw it. Some "plumbers" haven't a clue.
