Waste Pipe To High Help

[ukbill69]

Hello,

Im looking at a new build unit and thing is I have a soil pipe, see picture that I feel is to high for any standard toilet, that hole in the wall has the connector point on the down pipe.

Thing is I dont have a lot of money and think this might cost me a lot more to put right.

Thanks for your time.

knock out another breeze block at right height, connect to soil pipe at desired point?

where is the soil pipe ? what height is it at ?? if its too high you can make a boxing in and install a wall hung pan

 

[WaterTight]

and have steps going up to it....and make it like a throne ...and hang the loo roll on a septar

I never seen that hole lol

whos fault is it ???

Is there still a sub floor to go down or is that the finished floor level?

If your just building a wc closet in the corner of the room raise the floor level or drop the branch.

Why can't you cut it lower and push a pan connector into it? Or cut a pan connector to make it shorter?

You'll need to look at venting it too (and presumably you've got a building inspection lined up?)

Hi thanks for all your replies, the thing is that soil pipe bends and goes into the floor, thats why I guess the connector is so high. I cant see a way to connect to it as as soon as the bottom of the connector finishes, the bend starts and goes into the floor.

We was just going to tile the floor.

pull the bend out and use a flexi pan connector..... something like that

you sure thats not an access fitting rather than a branch?

 

[ukbill69]

Im sure its a branch as there is nothing else in the shop to connect to.

Get a plumber in to do it or build a plinth for the pan

that hole is 2 blocks up , 18 inches plus say 1/2 a block again to the centre of the branch plus 6 inch to the centre line of the pan spigot, thats around 28-29 inches plus the height to the seat, it will be like sitting on a bar stool lol

just to confirm it does say 'sitting'
