Problem concerning WC pan connectors

[Deleted member 120897]

But I don't understand the relevance of the Mkea. Can't the MKO2 be pushed directly into the drain hole? And then a shortened 90° pan connector pushed into the MKO2?

Pan connectors aren’t supposed to just push into each other, as they may not seal correctly, so a piece (short stub) of soil pipe or a cut off piece of an extension piece (mkea).

Thank you. But, as I see it, the "head" of the McAlpine swan neck pan connector in the technical drawing is set back, and so it looks as though the end of the pan outlet would have to overhang to the midway point over the drain hole (that is, 40mm to 50mm) for the connector to be useful. But, when the my WC pan is correctly positioned so that the cistern is upright and flat against the back wall, the overhang is only 20mm.

Are there any swan neck pan connectors that can accommodate such a small overhang?

Would the wc pan not hit the tail of swan connector 1st? That said, looks like it could work.

Sorry, but I don't understand what the "tail" is in this context. However, I have already replied to ShaunCorbs regarding the McAlpine swan neck pan connector that he suggested. I don't think that one will work.

Swan neck pan connector should work or a mcalpine con 8 maybe

Thank you. But, as far as I can see, the McAlpine WC-CON8 is just another 90° pan connector. Why might the WC-CON8 work when the 90° pan connector that I already have doesn't work?

A stnd con 8 should fit then

Try to compare the technical drawing between the McAlpine and yours, I think the McAlpine is slightly longer connecting to the pan.

I might be asking a numb question here but why didn't you or the Plumber buy a bottom outlet pan?
Or did you think of that and the measurements aren't right?

Use a multikwik mkb3190, this will probably work on its own.
