Toilet pan connectors

[DBass]

Hi,

I am fitting a new toilet and am planning to move it over to the left approx 5 inches to make room for a boiler.
I am plannind to use Multikwik flexible connector to get the correct angle, but it then needs to go into a 8cm diameter lead pipe which is fixed into a cast iron pipe outside of the house. What connector will I need to change the diameter from the flexible connectoer 97-108 down to the 8cm? Also how do I seal it into the pipe? Shall I use silicon sealer around the top of the lead pipe, to prevent leaking?

Thanks, any help is appreciated.

Check on the Multikwik website, they have various pan connectors in all sorts of angles and with differeing sizes, they might have what you want without introducing a reducer

Thanks for the reply.

I have looked and sent them a lot of emails asking for advice, but they have not replied.

Would I be right in thinking I need one of these:

With one of these:

Thanks for any help.

Forget the MKF330.

You need a MKC2, a Multilink and a MKS10, possibly.
I say 'possibly'; when you say 80mm (8cm) lead piper is that the OD or ID of the lead?

Oh, and it's the 98 to 105mm that needs reducing, not the 97 to 108mm.

Thanks Charnwood,

The ID of the lead pipe is between 80 and 85mm, its hard to tell accurately until I take the old connector out of the pipe.

Ooops!
Multikwik do pan conns for 74 to 77mm then 88 to 92mm. You might have a problem.
If it's about 85mm you might get the 88 to 92 to fit, but it'll be tight.
That would be the MKS3.

You could substitute the MKC2 straight flexi with a bent flexi, such as the MKC2B90:

Thanks Charnwood for your help.

I have just remeasured the lead pipe and 88 should fit fine, it actually looks between 88- 90mm on second inspection.

Also do I just push it in or shoud l I use any sealer around the seal in the lead pipe? If so which is best to use?

 

[Charnwood]

No sealant should be necessary so long as the joins are square, but use the little sachet of grease when fitting them. Makes it much easier than dry-joining them.

Cheers Charnwood,
I will pick up the connectors and start the job tomorrow. Thanks for the advice, much appreciated.

so long as the joins are square

Meant to say, also, so long as the lead is almost perfectly round. A little bit out should be OK if you are using a Multikwik or similar as they are reasonably flexible. Some pan conns are made of rigid plastic.
