[mcniven]

installed a pan, floor is level as can be, and this is the trap seal i have, looks well ugly! custard on my case, is it a faulty pan ???

Something not right there mate, what happens if filled with bucket

 

[mcniven]

not tried that lad.

I'd the stack ventilated in anyway. Looks like induced syphonahe to me

 

[ecowarm]

Its possible the trap is pulled out after flush, is it connected to a vent or AAV

 

[mcniven]

id say so, its 3 level external tenement flats, hes on the 2nd level, vented external above roof level..

 

[ecowarm]

beatme to it simon

 

[ecowarm]

something like a blockage somewhere then

 

[SimonJohns]

Lol. In high winds you can get wavering out of traps. I'm still yet to see this thou

What happens when you flush?

 

[mcniven]

IT goes to that level simon!

 

[ecowarm]

I would see if it will fill to correct level rather than flushing just add water by bucket slowlly, if it returns to that level like that its a faulty pan id say

Should be a 50mm seal on a pan so if you add a bit water and it remains at that level it is the pan at fault. Bit of a pain if you supplied it. Half shift lost running for another and changing it. If you got it from a merchant if you kick up a fuss (depends how well you know them) they may reimburse your costs.

is the top of the pan level? base could be out slightly even if floor perfectly flat and level

Glasgow Tenement? I had a problem with loss of seal and found a birds nest wedged in the pipe at roof level. Otherwise could be the pan or wind blowing down the pipe. Try the buckets of water down it first. Try fitting a vent cap mate?
