Pocster Posted January 19, 2021 Author Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) Ok ! Phone call to geberit ! Apparently there’s an embedded grub screw in the fitting which is embedded in the pan ! I shall now go and look for it !! Edited January 19, 2021 by pocster
Onoff Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 You want to be sticking that pan to the tiled wall with clear CT1 then leaving for 36 hours before planting your ar$e on it. Put the pan on, mask the wall then back off and pump in the good stuff. Tighten up and baby wipe the excess. Remove the tape. Go over with a silicone of your choice.

Now need to read ( well look at pics ) for cutting the waste and supply pipes to the correct length . Plenty of opportunities for fs still ?
Pocster Posted January 19, 2021 Author Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) Assuming if I fit it all dry I flush it and make sure no leaks . Then take it off ,ct1 , clean it up , leave it for 3 days Edited January 19, 2021 by pocster
Pocster Posted January 19, 2021 Author Posted January 19, 2021 Ok ; seems simple enough . Measure distance of pipe off wall . Measure distance of pipe off wc . Cut that difference off the end + 3mm
markc Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Plenty of lube on the flush pipe before you push the pan on, ive had the rubber gaskets/seals slide down the pipe instead of going into the pan. one was so persistent i had to wrap tape around the pipe behind the seal to stop it popping over the pipe end and sliding back. 1

Pocster Posted January 19, 2021 Author Posted January 19, 2021 Christ it’s a fight ! Fittings on wall first . Then tried fittings on pan first ( at least you can just about see pipe alignment) . It’s still fighting me though !!
ToughButterCup Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Its a bit of a struggle on your own: are you using the Geberit cardboard support frame so you can just slide the pan up to the fittings .... ?

ToughButterCup Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 For both mine, the bowl came in cardboard packaging: you take the top off the package and the bowl is sitting on a cardboard framework....... Maybe yours is a different model. Mine's Tuma Classic.
Onoff Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Can't remember how I got mine on! Got a feeling I used a trolley jack. I know I had the pipes on the pan then fed them into the wall:
