Hi,
I have/am replacing a toilet, that is now in a slightly different location to where it was, so need new soil connections.
I have a socket coming out of the wall, that is around 14 inches from the toilet (14 inches goes into the toilet, and into the soil pipe by abut an inch each side) and approximately 12cm lower down (from centre of the soil pipe to the centre of the toilet). Inside the pipe now is a white piece of rubber/plastic, what is this?
What do i need to connect this up please? I was under the impression that i cant connect a pan connector straight to the socket? I am more than likely going to box in the soil pipe area, and i would prefer not to use a flexi connector as i dont like the look of them, so i had an idea I could do the following:
use a short length of pipe out of the socket (like this https://www.screwfix.com/p/floplast-sp8g-soil-pipe-single-socket-grey-110mm-x-1m/27141)
then connect a 90deg socket to the pipe ( like this https://www.screwfix.com/p/floplast-sp161g-92-5-bend-single-socket-grey/18833)
then connect a 90deg pan connector to the 90 deg socket ( like this https://www.screwfix.com/p/mcalpine-macfit-mac-8-90-wc-short-pan-connector-white-90-112mm/89461)
Would this work at all? The thing i'm worried about is that the pan connector looks a bit long (says length 235mm) but thats the total length, and surely i would push a fair bit of this into the 90deg connector?
Or is there a much easier way i have overlooked?
Thanks - pictures of the pipes now for clarification:
