joe90 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 (edited) I too have a toilet connecting problem so adding to this thread. The pipe in the floor is a bit far from the wall and a standard connector leaves the cistern out from the wall about 25mm, ( I could batten it out but a bit of a bodge in my opinion) if I use a swan neck connector it won’t quite reach the toilet. Does anyone know of a connector half way between the two? P.S. I hate flexible connectors. Edited February 26, 2018 by joe90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteamyTea Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Judging by the eyewater I have just done, none of these would have worked. Think I shall have to eat more fruit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickfromwales Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Cant you push back on the standard one 10-15mm and then just lean the cistern back the last 10mm so it can be affixed? Thats what I'd do. 5 hours ago, Vijay said: what about using an extension https://www.toolstation.com/shop/p19642 Thats not an extension as such, and if you push that into another pan connectors then you have rings sitting inside rings, rather than rings being compressed against a circular wall. Ive done it where there has been no other choice, but its not ideal at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickfromwales Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 It does but it's not the tightest of fits. Ive seen these multiquicks in all shapes and states of butchery TBH, so they do hold. For some of them, how, I just don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe90 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Just visited my local builders merchant and hey presto, a shorter version of the one I had that was too long so the problem is fixed. Thanks for your comments guys.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
