Ok, thanks Peter. I'm learning. . . . slowly Is there a reference somewhere that would enable me to work out the offset achieved when using a pair of bends? What I really need is dimensional drawings of these waste fittings I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guessing that could go straight onto the pan connector then 110mm from there? It takes a 90mm male and I think pushes into a 110mm socket... Also got two of the 90deg elbow 90/90 bits spare. @PeterStarck kindly sorted me with a 90mm F to the 110mm M in this photo: EDIT: BUGGER! The bits I'm offering wouldn't clip into the Geberit frame! All sorted now @Onoff, thanks to Nick's cunning plan. Thanks again for the offer. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onoff Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 If going ott belt and braces I imagine you could affix a 110mm clip to the Geberit frame in place of the black 90mm one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You robbed me of gold, and now he wants the silver too I doubt any mere mortal would ever get the flush pipe to soil pipe centres spot on enough to offer the pan on without issues.

As in the original Geberit set up ensures exact centres between flush and pan pipe! Allowing the 110mm line to "float" gives flexibility. It'll still be pretty stiff I reckon so I'd aim for being bang on and bank on a little bit of tolerance on the pan connector. Could always put a bit of ply in the stud wall with a 111/114mm hole in as a guide...lightly screwed then nut it up properly once all in. A proper fun job this, straying a little from the norm!

I'm glad I inspire you to come up with these ideas I bought a 114mm "Starrett" from Wickes of all places to add to my collection. Their own brand but pretty good. This for when I did my frame. It was so I could slip the ply and plaster board on and off but leave the yellow plug in. Don't think I'll be splashing out on a 111mm though just yet.

ashpat Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Hello experts My daughter is re configuring her flat and would appreciate your advice on wall hung WC pan (Geberit frame) connection to the new horizontal 110 dia upvc drain. The new horizontal will be connected to the existing vertical soil vent pipe in the corner as shown on the drawings which already has a boss connection. The distance I have between the back of WC pan and the new horizontal drain is 290 but would prefer if this can be reduced so that I can increase the width of the shower room! Can you please advise me on all appropriate bend fittings she will require to purchase. Plan.pdf Thank you all ash Section XX.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onoff Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Pretty much what I have: The black into grey is push fit: The grey straight to grey bend, grey bend to grey bend then grey bend to brown straight joints are solvent weld. I made the mistake of using brown, "underground" pipe instead of grey . Although all pvc the brown is a bit more "rubbery". I used gap filling pvc cement there and even then went over the top with a smear of something. If using push fit always have the male above the female fitting on the slope.

Temp Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) Starting at the WC end.. I've looked at your drawings and I don't think the fames come with a straight pan connector pipe. I think they all come with the black right angle pipe as per @Onoffs photo. Check that first. So I think you might need something like this one but I'm not sure if that's the right type for frame mounting.. https://hertsplumbingsupplies.co.uk/toilet-spares/813-geberit-90mm-90mm-hdpe-straight-connector-for-wc-frames-366887161-4025416030232.html Also not sure if that's 110mm at the left hand end? Then it looks like you will need a bend around 35 degrees downwards like one of these.. then in the horizontal run insert a "Triple Socket 92 Degree Soil Branch Tee" like one of these. The curve injecting water in the direction of the flow. Then 110mm pipe for the horizontal run and another of those Tee branches in the vertical stack. If the stack can't be lifted to insert it into the Socket of the Tee you may need to cut out a bigger section and use a slip coupling. I've shown solvent weld versions but similar push fit exist if you prefer. Its hard to be certain about the 35 Degree bend. Might need a length of pipe between it and the Tee in the horizontal run. It's a case of it being easier to work out when you are on site. If you do then the bend needs to have two sockets not one of each.

ashpat Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Thank you onoff and temp. I think as temp suggested I need a straight pipe to start off from wc. Can this be cut? I have only 290mm from back of wc to face of horizontal drain to get all the bends in. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I think you need this one.. https://www.wolseley.co.uk/product/geberit-hdpe-duofix-straight-connector-110mm/ Which fits a 90mm pan on the right and a 110mm push fit socket on the left. That means you want one of these 135mm bends instead of the solvent weld bend.. https://www.screwfix.com/p/floplast-push-fit-135-single-socket-bend-grey-110mm/13199?tc=IB6&ds_kid=92700055281954505&ds_rl=1249404&gclid=CjwKCAiAz--OBhBIEiwAG1rIOgkYNciguvpRgG1ukkO_cpXMMHhDBGvLrYQgsFAaSlKSmlgv_nsPORoCHWQQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds That might mean using push fit rather than solvent weld for the other parts as I don't think you can mix and match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashpat Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Thank you Temp. We will be connecting to the existing 100 dia upvc soil vent pipe which serves 4 floors above. We are on the lower ground floor. We need advice how we connect into the existing svp at 190mm above the floor level. What looks like an access point! Also we need to slightly offset the new horizontal soil pipe to connect into existing svp. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have a similar horizontal run, I can get at least a 1:40 fall, but the toilet is approx 2.5m from the vertical stack so I am a little concerned that it will draw enough flow to clear the pan. The house I currently live in has a shortish horizontal run with very little fall and very annoyingly tends to leave the paper and or floaters behind.

As to the exact fall I'll have to have a dig through pics and sketches etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
