Toilet Pan Connector Size and Angle Guide
A toilet pan connector joins the WC pan outlet to the soil pipe. The correct fitting depends on the outlet and soil-pipe alignment, distance, angle, offset and the space available behind the toilet.
What to measure
- Pan outlet: note the outside connection and its position.
- Soil-pipe connection: check its diameter, direction and depth.
- Distance: measure between the pan outlet and soil-pipe entry.
- Offset: note any horizontal or vertical misalignment.
- Clearance: check walls, boxing, floor level and available space behind the pan.
Common pan connector types
Straight
For installations where the pan outlet and soil pipe are directly aligned with suitable spacing.
Angled
Used when the soil connection changes direction. Confirm the required angle and the space the bend occupies.
Offset
Helps connect outlets that are close but not on the same centre line. Measure the required offset rather than estimating.
Flexible
Useful where alignment or distance varies, but the stated extension range, bend and available support still need checking.
Extension
Adds reach where the soil connection sits further from the pan outlet. Check the complete assembled length and number of joints.
Avoid these ordering mistakes
- Choosing by the word “universal” without checking dimensions.
- Ignoring the space needed for a bend behind the pan.
- Stretching a flexible connector beyond its stated range.
- Failing to inspect the pan outlet and soil connection for damage or contamination.
