Discuss 5" to 4" Waste Reducer? in the UK Plumbing Forum | Plumbing Advice area at PlumbersForums.net

Hi,
Does anyone please know if there is a 5" to 4" reducer? The old toilet in this first floor connects to a 5" internal plastic stack. It was leaking as a standard pan connector and a few tubs of plumbers mait were used.

It needs to sit inside the existing 5" Elbow as I'm restricted by depth to sit the pan where it was. Hoping there's a solution. I've been to a few merchants and a drainage specialist in Avonmouth, no joy...

Cheers, Seaweed...

That's an older type W.C pan socket.
Cut the 5" piece off, back to the 4" pipe and use a modern pan connector, assuming there's enough depth inside the 4" on the left for the seal to sit.

Alternately you need a seal similar to this
