Spent time today removing a WC pan, or rather the cistern. The pan

not sure what else I need.

The pan is not being replaced, so I need to block off the exit/waste
pipe. I thought I needed some sort of inflatable balloon that goes in
the waste pipe. Is that right, and if so, what is it called?
Searches involving pipe and balloon just bring up plastic things to
stop leaves going into waste pipes from gutters. Perhaps I just need
a 'soil pipe socket plug'? Or what looks like a ribbed rubber plug?

Thanks!


One of these probably.

That will probably do - as long as you're left with a plastic push-fit
socket when you remove the pan connector.

But if you have a glazed pipe disappearing into the floor - or just a
110mm plastic pipe with no socket on the end, you'll need something
different.

What *have* you got? A photo[1] would be good.
