Toilet connector

Options
I'm replacing a rather unpleasant toilet connector, but didn't have a tape measure. I'd like to pick up the part before I back tomorrow.
Am I right in thinking the 108-114mm is the width of the end which connects to the toilet, and 88-92mm is the width of the pipe that comes from the wall?


Most replacements seem to be described as 4"/110mm, Does that suggest the wall pipe is an unusual size? Is there anything at Screwfix or Toolstation that would be a direct replacement?

    Standard pipe is 110mm, so I think 108-114 is for the pipe.
    Then, 88-92 is for the toilet

    Hi
    Not  sure but why not buy  a  couple of sizes they have and return the one that is not required within 30 days?
    Thanks

  • Iirc  the 108-114 is for older wc pans, newer wc  pans have a slightly smaller 102mm  spigot. 

    86-92mm something around 3 inch for irregular sized internal cast iron soil pipes or similar.

    Depending on the actual wc installation theere are always some work arounds, getting other products to fit but that comes with risk.

    Due to the pan spigot size, i think your going to need another MKS3 they are available in proper plumbing trade shops or mail order. Sorry.





  • It does suggest that the size you have is for 'older' pans. (Yes, the dims you mention are for what you say - toilet & pipe)
    Could you confirm the dims of the INSIDE of the waste pipe, and the OUTSIDE of the pan's spigot, please?
