Toilet plumbing issue

matty_hunt

Thanks everyone for your input. I used a Lenox diamond reciprocating blade, especially for cast iron. Pipe was about 6mm thick but produced little dust really. Note to others - I had the saw handle sat on the floor to help apply pressure to the blade end. Reciprocating saw vibrated so much the handle wore a hole in the lino. Still, job done.

Cheers, Matty - it's always good to have a final report. :-)

And if it all goes to s***, then you can always fall back on flexible pan connectors such as the type already there :-)

They work absolutely fine, but they just look a bit 'bodge', that's all. I wouldn't blame you for resorting to one of these in your situation, tho', as the finished gap and relative angles you have to deal with might be tricky to work through in advance in order to find an off-the-shelf 'solid' connector. If you'd rather use one of these, then go for it.

As before, make sure the cast pipe is cut far enough back to the wall to allow a constant 'fall' from the pan. 

I have found MCAlpine to be really good
My understanding is that there are no UK standards but these meet German Standards and  that is fine by me.

They would be made to Scottish standards which would just have to be different to English ones.
