Pan-Africanism is a worldwide movement that aims to encourage and strengthen bonds of solidarity between all indigenous and diaspora ethnic groups of African descent. Based on a common goal dating back to the Atlantic slave trade, the movement extends beyond continental Africans with a substantial support base among the African diaspora in the Americas and Europe.Pan-Africanism can be said to have its origins in the struggles of the African people against enslavement and colonization and this struggle may be traced back to the first resistance on slave ships—rebellions and suicides—through the constant plantation and colonial uprisings and the "Back to Africa" movements of the 19th century. Based on the belief that unity is vital to economic, social, and political progress and aims to "unify and uplift" people of African descent.At its core, pan-Africanism is a belief that "African people, both on the continent and in the diaspora, share not merely a common history, but a common destiny". Pan-Africanist intellectual, cultural, and political movements tend to view all Africans and descendants of Africans as belonging to a single "race" and/or sharing cultural unity. Pan-Africanism posits a sense of a shared historical fate for Africans in America, West Indies, and on the continent, itself centered on the Atlantic trade in slaves, African slavery, and European imperialism.Pan-African thought influenced the establishment of the Organisation of African Unity (now the African Union) in 1963. The African Union Commission has its seat in Addis Ababa and the Pan-African Parliament has its seat in Johannesburg and Midrand.
I'm a DIY homeowner repacing an outside toilet pan to a salt glazed spigot in a concrete floor. My guess is to cut through the mortar surrounding the spigot and continue cutting through the spigot. What are the pitfalls and tips to assure a clean cut through the spigot. Further will a plastic...
Hi all,
Quick one I hope!
Have a toilet that was relatively near the wall with a space saving pan connector (like a question mark).
We've now tiled the room which was previously plain wall and so with the cement, backerboard, tile cement and tiles this has brought the wall in a bit too close...
Hi Everyone,
My toilet has developed a small leak between the feed pipe and the toilet pan, I think the seal has perished at the bottom.
Each time I flush, a small amount of water washes back and subsequently on the floor. I have posted an ad to find a plumber, but as the toilet is 5 years...
I’ve renovated my understairs bathroom and am now at the point where I’m connecting the toilet to the existing waste.
To do this I’ve purchased McAlpine WC-F26R Flexible WC Pan Connector White 97-107mm and pushed it straight into the existing ’Multikwik’ waste connector.
The leak is between...
All,
We have an old soil pipe stack which has an inner diameter of 90mm. I presume it is a pitch fibre soil pipe (it's not cast iron).
I have been down the local plumbers' merchants and sourced a suitable pan connector, namely a McAlpine WC-CON7B.
The toilet outlet is around 30mm higher...
I am planning to refurbish a bathroom in a "modern" house - ie 30 years old. Part of the work is to install a new shower pan and cubicle together with wall boards (inside the shower only). The bathroom is upstairs and sits on a chipboard floor. Although there is no evidence of leakage under the...
I like the style - not convinced if I should spend extra on the swirlflush 'gimmick'. Any experiences in general with either?
Or - what is your preferred wall mount pan.
Hey Guys
just wondering if anyone on here has had this problem with a toilet pan before, this is the 3rd toilet pan I’ve had this problem with in the past 18 months lol, also each pan is a different make from a completely different supplier hence why it’s so bizarre, I think it’s just bad Luck...
Woke this morning to see water pouring out the bottom of our downstairs loo. Took a closer look and found this large whole in the pan connector. Easy enough to replace - but what could have made this hole? Is a rat the most obvious answer? See picture!
I have an existing S-bend Twyford toilet and am looking to replace it with a new Twyford E100 close-coupled toilet.
Looking at the diagram (https://images.victorianplumbing.co.uk/images/E100-RND-WC1_Line.jpg) the Twyford S pan connector puts the centre of the floor pipe 80mm from the wall, but...
Hi
I have two loos one with a concealed sistern and a rimless pan
The other against a wall close coupled also with a rimless pan.
This unit has a really strong flush which meets at the front of the pan and thoroughly cleans.
The first unit with the concealed sistern has a much weaker flush and...
Hello! I had to replace the flush mechanism of my loo. I installed the new mechanism mentioned above. All seemed well but the cistern slowly leaks into the pan! What did I do wrong? Thanks!
Hi Guys, just refitting my Bathroom, i have a side entry pan, but the 90 degree pan connector is just about touching
the pan outlet. when i put in situ existing pipe in solid
and very close to the wall because its so close how do i connect the two can't move back its against the wall?
also...
I have what i believe is a German made toilet bowl. At the back just above the pan outlet is a small round hole (obviously created when manufactured). What is this for and why doesn't water come out when you flush?
Hi all,
I'm hoping the title says it all - I've got a low level toilet in an old-fashioned community hall that is concreted to the floor and the pan connector is leaking. It's only a small leak thankfully but there's no way to get the toilet out without breaking the pan and opening up a world...
The pan is screwed down using a Screwfix/Rawlplug fitting kit and I have sealed the pan to the wall tiles.
My question is: Do I need to also seal the pan to the floor tiles?
I think it looks neater without silicon to the floor tiles and it would create a sealed void should the cistern inlet...
Bit of a head-scratcher and I know the answer is 'how long is a piece of string'.
A potential customer wants a fully enclosed back-to-wall pan (the type with no access from room side) replaced. Not something I have done before.
While there is an access panel where the concealed cistern is...
Hope someone can identify what I need to connect my new toilet pan to the vertical soil pipe in the bathroom floor.
The old toilet's pan drained vertically into the soil pipe. I now need to fit a new toilet + pan connector, but the flange in the floor doesn't appear to be catered-for when it...
Installed a new gas hob at a friends yesterday. Unfortunately non of the burners will stay alight? Is the anything I am missing? nothing obvious appears to be damaged, no blockages, correct gas pressure. Never had to start taking a new appliance apart. Do you think they should contact the...
I recently had to change a toilet. This was connected to the soil pipe by a flexi connector.
Unfortunately the rubber seal on the soil pipe end of the flexi needed to be replaced, I was unable to find any stockist for just the rubber seal, so ended up buying a complete pan connector and using...
