The plot thickens!.....
system3 Thanks for your help. I think I followed the first part of what you said but not the second part...
The top part of the elbow with the pan connector is solvent weld the other going into the pipe is a ring seal. The white stuff looks like glue to me! Personally I'd replace the bend. Remove it glue a loose ring seal socket onto the end of the pipe, fit a bend with one end a chamferred plain end, the other a ring seal socket. Fit the plain end into the pipe socket
... when you said
"replace the bend...remove it glue a loose ring seal socket onto the end of the pipe" did you mean to cut the pipe at this point:
(...since it's solvent welded to the grey elbow) or do you think I could just pull it out of the white connector here:
...bearing in mind there is what appears to be glue there as well...? I'd be worried of pulling the other end of some pipe concealed in wall that isn't glued...
And just to confirm...when you said
"remove it glue a loose ring seal socket onto the end of the pipe, fit a bend with one end a chamferred plain end, the other a ring seal socket. Fit the plain end into the pipe socket"
...do you mean fit one of these (
1) and then directly into that - one of these (
2) :
(
1)
(
2)
If so I'm with you there...(apart from how to get existing elbow off and new socket into the equation)
But then when you said...
"and the bend will now have a ring seal socket facing the right way up! Fit a cutting of pipe into that long enough to go through the hole in the partition to fit a pan connector to" ...what do you mean? Surely facing forwards instead of up is already facing the right way? And as far as fitting pipe into (
2) long enough to go through hole in partition...the new WC is being fitted without boxing so the pan can either go back to wall or as close as poss. So sorry I've lost you there. Don't suppose you could explain? Thanks for your help so far.
stevetheplumber Thanks for your help. So when you say...
looks to me as if the previous pan was on the wall so just pull the bend and pipe out of the white push fit thats poking through nthe side of the unit new bit of pipe and a bent pan connector
the long tailed bent pan cons will give you a bit of leaway to make the distance from the wall correct mcalpine actuallly do 2 different distances from the wall
id be wary of the flexi pan con route as ive found they can slip of when used with a tight radius
....presuming you mean the bit in the second photo with red arrow above, do you reckon the pipe will just pull out of white connector if it's been glued? and then do you mean just push in (or should I use solvent weld glue? or silicone?) a new length of 110mm soil pipe with a bent pant connector straight into that pipe?
Have I got that correct? Thanks..
