How best to do this?

[Beau]

I'm putting in a new WC. I've drilled nearly a meter through the wall to get the 110mm waste out in the right place outside so I really don't want to move the soil pipe. It's a wall hung WC and we would like the stud It's mounted on to be around the line of the yellow level but it can go back or forwards a bit and the pan approximately where the hawk is. What I'm undecided on is how best to do the waste. My original plan was to have a 45 to get it to run parallel with the back wall and then a 90 to go to the back of the pan. Then I thought why not just have a 45 pan connector straight onto the pipe in the picture but I don't think I would have enough flexibility in a single joint as the natural angle is nearer 55 degrees. I'm presuming flexible connectors are just asking for trouble? 

 

What do you think?

You can get single and double Adjustable bends that might help, also you can get tight 90 Deg bends if space becomes tight

I've used two of these in the past for an awkward soil pipe to pan angle - try to get one with ridges on the rings that lock up the joints as the smooth finish ones are much harder to get tight. (Flo Plast ones definately have that)

I would just do it with a normal flexi.  I think rats are a consideration if this is ground or basement level though.

Thanks for the suggestions.

 

Just as I thought I had a plan I discovered that any fitting for 110mm pipe won't fit through the Gerberit Duo frame. It comes with a 90 and a straight connectors but seems angles are not an option. Probably going back to plan A and get the 110mm soil pipe parallel-ish with the wall and have a straight connector out the pan (which fits the frame) going to a 90 onto the 110 soil pipe. Hopefully there is enough wiggle room in all the those joints to line thing up properly. Picture attached

Thanks for the warning. Its a working farm with loads of hollows in the rubble filled walls. There is a risk of rodents so a flexible connector now has an extra black mark by it haha 

 

Nothing's ever easy is it!

You can use underground fittings which will give you 15° & 30° options, with both available as female / female or male / female (double or single socket).

 

Theres very little wiggle room with the frames so your stated favoured option is best tbh.

 

I assume you know the Geberit pan connector can be cut down in length?

Yes, that's probably my only easy option. I did presume they were OK to cut down in length but dont want to mess with parts until I'm committed to a plan of attack. The 90 in the second picture is on 90mm pipe. Do you think it would be better to use that or swop to 110mm as soon as I'm through the Gerberit frame? I wondered if the extra flow through the smaller pipe so close to the pan might be beneficial at preventing blockages

There’s so much velocity at the outlet it doesn’t matter tbh, and you can still do a soil stack in 3” pipe if it only serves a single WC, no actually need for 4”.
 

4” just gives redundancy and is the knee jerk.

I didn't know that. Every days a school day as they say

 

Many thanks
