yea looks like sw bet there is no 4" pipe on the collar thats why its leaking
 
Are there no elbow pan connectors but with a long stem from the pan going to an elbow with a short male connector for the 4 inch stack...??? They all seem to be the other way...

extended bent pan connector and how long to looking for?
 
sorry imeant to say there are two sizes of bent pan con try the macalpine book to get dimensions the pciture looks like a pan con into an old terain pan connector which will work if you put a bit of 4 inch onto the second one
 
I'm think I'm just gonna hack off the sw elbow at the base and stick in a flexi as I don't think the extended inlet pan connector is quite long enough... it only gives me 80mm for the inlet

can you leave the elbow in ? (split?)
 
There isn't much room between the elbow and the pan, def not enough to weld some 4inch pipe in place

straight pan connector? or are you changing the bog
 
No the pan is staying.. Yeah I'm gonna try a straight first, if that fails I'll go with plan b

just glue enough 4" in to fit flush with the elbow if there non there

If I am not mistaken it is a Terrain 102.4.5 Bent (or 125.4.5 straight) See Page 13. It is a single rubber seal pan con & someone has just stuffed another straight con directly into it which is not allowing the fins to seal. Suggest removing the black rubber seal, it just pulls off, buy an extension multikwik, push down inside so it seals in the inner pipe. Then cut to length & re-fit the standard pan con you have already fitted. (Say No to Flexi's) http://www.plumbcenter.co.uk/wcssto...ng.all/hu/re/Polypipe_TerrainS&W_Brochure.pdf

So the socket of the elbow is 5 1/4 inch... The black rubber seal has gone. Merchant suggested putting a fernco reducer over the elbow socket, some 4 inch in the other end and the straight pan connector.. isn't there anything that'll go into the elbow socket?

Took toilet out to remove pan connector as no give.. measure it then. Yup, block of flats. Discharge pipe is 4 inch

central stack and sorry to say if the elbow is 5.25 your only option is a fernco reducer sorry to say :(
