One other thought along these lines is that if the toilet pan has a
horizontal soil pipe exit and then a 90 degree plastic adaptor to connect
to
the socket in the floor, whether one could fit a strap type boss onto said
adaptor pipe at floor level.


Hmm, I've just phoned them and that sounds exactly what they have got?

Would there be any chance of fouling (where the 40mm joins the soil
pipe) or would you fit it in at the top of the pipe?


That I'm not sure about. it''s possible that there may be some building
regulation rules that would kybosh this, because of minimum distance
requirements. However, I believe that has more to do with risk of sucking
out of traps than possible fouling. I was thinking aloud as much as
anything on this one.

The adaptor that I pointed out yesterday has an internal design where the
spigot of the pan adaptor projects into the centre of the fitting thus
preventing that I assume.



All the best ..

figure out how to do *that* ?
