Toilet pan for soil pipe at 180mm - HELP (and a warning for others)

I was thinking 2 x 45's, but then how to get that waste in is the issue, which I haven't figured out a solution yet apart from cut and glue (NO!)

Just change the branch! You'll still pick the waste up exactly the same way.

My only issue is, that is a T branch, and should be a Y branch like the other if poop is dropping into it from "Le Bog".

That's interesting, what is the reasoning behind having to use a Y instead of a swept T in that position.

I've started a topic HERE to cover GROHE frame install for others to reference.

There’s not enough sweep, and there would be a lot of ‘matter’ going to the right as well as flowing away to the left. 
 

If a T is laid horizontally with a good fall then you can get away with it (just), but I avoid using them tbh.

 

Not such a worry if theres a flushing WC upstream, but here there’s just a 40mm waste which isn't sufficient to ‘move things along’ (if there are any stragglers ).

Not even if it a full flowing shower 😀 (statement, not question)

Here is the frame fitted

 

Better explanation of the Grohe instructions HERE that I took to fit to this stage. That topic will be updated with the extra steps still required.

Tres bien, Rodders.

 

@Gone West, you can see the difference in the two branches, with the above being so much better for 'flow'.

Got the walls repaired, a backer panel fitted and the flusher panel on. Just awaiting the toilet pan tomorrow
