Old style toilet waste...help

[jampot1979]

Hi

I am in the process of fitting a new bathroom suite. The old toilet was a very old fixture which sat on top of the soil waste pipe. Our new toilet has its soil waste pipe hole at the back of the bowl (horizontal). So I need a 90 degree adaptor to connect the two.

The only problem is that I can't find an adaptor which fits our old soil pipe. I found a clay to PVC adaptor in wickes today but it is too big to fit inside our pipe and too small to fit over it (I wasn't sure which it was supposed to do).

The original soil pipe measures just under 180mm to the outside edges and 150mm on the inside and looks like this:

Can anyone suggest any options?
Thanks.

90 deg pan connector gasket and plumbers mate. assuming the drain is not to far from the wall. Or are you aving a larf due to the date?

Thanks but I tried one of those earlier and it was only 110mm wide so was far too narrow to fit...?

But it will fit in the spigot hence the water resistant gasket and plumbers mate

6"" soil for a toilet

Sorry for my ignorance but plumbers mate...?

You need the diameter of the 'hole' where the waste goes down, not the lip around the edge. You should find the 90D pan connector fits in this with ther rubber seal around it when pushed down the 'ole

Ok, I think I understand what you are saying but our soil pipe doesn't go straight down, nearly as soon as the smaller hole starts it is curving around to horizontal - so if I were to push the 90 degree adaptor down into that hole it would push against the horizontal botom of the pipe and therefor block it off???

 

[nortimax]

Dont push it to far down then. your avin a larf aint you?

 

[gas4you]

You only just have to push it far enough to get seal

Ok, I'll have another look.

Thanks for your patience.

Push it in about 2", measure from floor to centre of pan connector then measure from floor to the centre of toilet spiggot, cut this difference off the end that goes into cast socket
