Pan connectors with vent

Was hoping someone can give me a run down of where these should and shouldn't be used ?

This bodge job :

Has lead to some drips and so I think I may need to cut the pipe back further to the wall and so there will be room for a flexi pan connector instead. Then just cap the old vent pipe.

Any feedback appreciated

Oh dear! Fernco couplers are made to fit over rigid pipes, not the soft fins of pan connectors or still less malleable lead.

In your situation I'd be tempted to slip a short offcut of 110mm soilpipe into the left half of the coupler and slacken off the right side, squeeze in "Sticks like Sh*t" (really!) and retighten gently.

A bodge, but there you go.
Otherwise renew all the way to the stack but then you'd have to find a way to connect to the 2" lead vent (which may or may not be needed anyway, tho someone was thought it was).

The pan connector you refer to is only suitable when used vertically.

This any better ?

Fitted an extra piece onto the pan to push the pipe out so there is now no bulge under the fernco coupler. No drips yet? Shall I test this or go straight for the sticks like sh1t ?

I'd go for the gunge myself.

The only way you're going to do that properly IMO, is to take that old pipe back to the stack, and remove the vent completely. Fit a new junction and rigid pipe back through the wall to the appropriate point for a pan connector to fit properly.

Those rubber couplings, as polesapart has said, are for rigid pipework. That contraption I think, is a disaster waiting to happen....
