What flushpipe/connector for concealed WC cistern?
I'm tackling a slight, but long-term leak around the base of our
back-to-wall toilet (one of this sort of thing: http://www.bathstore.com/products/toilets/back-to-wall-toilets. It has a boxed-in, concealed cistern (like this, but an unknown model): http://www.screwfix.com/p/fluidmaster-concealed-cistern/30168; and I've traced the problem to the point where the 90-deg flushpipe enters the back of the toilet, within the boxing. Problem is evidently that the installer cut the flushpipe too short, and has extended it with a nasty bodge that isn't working well, and it's leaking. I want to either replace the flushpipe (preferably) or extend it properly. However, this pipe seems to be an odd size, and I'm struggling - it looks like 38mm OD, as opposed to 32 or 40mm for conventional waste pipe? Any ideas how to proceed? I can see that (eg) Screwfix flog a new flushpipe; but God knows what size that is and whether it will fit my unnamed cistern: http://tinyurl.com/ljfeps6 (or http://www.screwfix.com/p/fluidmaster-flush-pipe-16-x-14/53204). There must be an alternative to possibly fitting a whole new cistern! -- David |
