Default Replacing cast iron soil pipe

Brilliant Steve, that's the information I needed to know. Can you tell me how
much of the CI pipe is sticking through the wall into the bathroom please ?


About 50mm.


Could you make the connection between them using two 90 degree bends ?


Funny, but that thought occurred to me over lunch.

Using two of these:

which can be cut to length so they fit together and form an "S" sort of shape
from the pan to the CI pipe may help, and be a lot cheaper.


I didn't realise you could cut them to length. I'm not sure that the
four inches or so of gap which I'd have would be enough space to fit
those, though.

Would that fit into my CI pipe? I'm assuming it's 3 1/2", the same as
the soil stack.
