toilet waste too low

Hello,
I'm about to tile my wc. First backer board, so the toilet will be approx 1-1.5inch higher than it currently is. Meaning the toilet waste will be higher than the pipe going out the wall...
Does anyone know how I get around this?
Thank you

There are a multitude of different connectors. Including off set ones which are able to be adjusted to the difference in height.I can afford anything that I want.
Just so long as I don't want much.0 -
The main plumbers merchants, Graham's, PTS , plumb centre will all have a offset pan connector. 20 or 40mm heigh variatons . Avoid flexi pipes, the ribs slow the flow down and blockages can occur. Horrible things made for the unskilledHi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure0

I don't know what idiot came up with that one, turds running (hopefully) over a corrugated plastic pipe:eek:, fine for waste water but not solids.:mad::mad:
Offset connector as said aboveI like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.
Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)
Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed0 -
Turns out the pipe coming out the wall is lead pipe, so different size.
Think if use a connector adaptor thing it would stick out too far. Originally the custern was out from the wall with bit of wood behind it...0 -
Cut the lead flush with the wall, use a straight 3 1/2 inch pan connector extension for lead then a offset connector ino this
You can buy 3 1/2 inch flexi pan connectors from Mcalpine if you struggleHi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure0 -
Ok, its all cast iron... Can't cut that it'll shatter.
Think if can't get an offset straight onto cast iron pipe. I'll have to have cistern sticking out from wall, against a bit of wood, which will look bad
Hmm...0 -
Grinder will cut with ease. Even a reciprocating saw will eventually get through it
You won't get a 3 1/2 offset connector. Just an extension
A decent plumber would sort this is 1-2hrsHi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure0
