Title: cast iron soil pipe
Post by daza on Jun 21^st, 2004, 10:30am

Hi All,

I am hoping you can help me, i am going to replace an old bathroom suite with a new one, but i have noticed that the toilet waste is connected to old cast iron soil pipe which looks as if the diameter is smaller than 110mm, how do i connect to this?

Hope i havent been to vague, thanks for your help

Use a gibcon pan connector with plenty lube, works a treat, they come in 4"-4" and 4"-3�" I'm not sure where to get hold of one though. If I could I'd fit almost every pan i ever fit using a gibcon, just a preferance though.
