Non standard soil pipe

[7Lupton]

I have moved into a new house recently and yesterday I noticed water on the bathroom floor. On closer inspection I noticed it was a leak from the toilet waste pipe connector. It looks like a bad job. The pan outlet is 80mm, but the soil pipe is also 80mm and not a standard 110mm. Whoever fitted it has tried to force a 80mm to 110mm pipe connector on and damaged it. I have tried a search online to find a 80mm to 80mm connector but no luck. Any quick fixes?

into http://www.livsupplies.co.uk/product_desc5.php?id=1099

or similar

Standard connections unless you live in Spain, seal has gone on your pan connector,buy a new one,many options available. Never come across a non standard soil pipe unless you have en suite,sometimes 3 inch leading to 4 inch.

Looked for options, the standard seems to be 110mm pipe
The connector won't fit inside 80mm pipe

Post a pic,you`re soil pipe must be 4 inches.

So long as the pan outlet is not greater than 80mm you can have a stack of minimum 75mm. Providing no other WC is connected.

Might be a tad difficult sourcing a 3" pan connector.

Yeah, pasting is great fella having a clue is different.

Even Multikwik don't do an 80mm to 80mm.

Gotta agree with you on this one channel.

We used 3" pan connectors
http://www.multikwik.com/product/22/114/straight-for-3-soil.html
(straight adapters) (over 200) when refurbing a block of flats in Newcastle, all toilets went into 3" cast pipe. Multikwik make them.

BUT if your house is new I would bet the soil pipe is 4" (3" is 3x the price)

It`s not 3/4 you are just a plank

No,you didn`t,no such thing, you used a converter to plumb into cast pipe,
Nobody makes toilets with 3 inch outlet, Simples.

Thanks everyone. Thought this would be a problem. Will follow advice, cheers

Multikwik No10 is for 41/2"/108-114mm pan spigots. OP states his spigot is 80mm. As previous, Mk do not do 3"/80mm both ends.

The only way round it (using Multikwiks) would be:
No5 (for small spigot)
Multilink
No10 (for small pipe)
