      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi knowledgeable people!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;My bathroom floor is being tiled and the builder pulled out a toilet and then it started leaking and is too high, (placed Ceramic tile underlay) for the outlet.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I thought it would be an easy fix with Bunnings adaptable pan connectors but 2nd plumber has said one needs to cut metre/s out of the the pipe out the back thus inflating cost hugely.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The 1st plumber said the same thing until I showed him the Bunnings website with the adapters and now he said he will&amp;nbsp;Supply and install new off-set pan connector, section of 100mm DWV pipe and fittings for 1/3 of the cost as what the 2nd plumber has said needs doing.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;You can see what's going on outside when you see two adjacent toilets connected to the drain, (one the old, house = 80+ and the other a newer installment done at least 12-15 years ago).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;There was no leaking until the builder pulled out the old toilet and realised it was now too high.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;????&amp;nbsp;What's the advice when you see these photos please?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp; (&lt;A href="https://www.bunnings.co.nz/our-range/bathroom-plumbing/plumbing/plumbing-spares/pan-connectors?page=1&amp;amp;facets=CategoryIdPath%3D55478a07-9fcb-4058-a467-3a65f9c93df9%2CSubCategoryIdPath%3D4311e728-f449-41a0-9c52-2941521c9eda&amp;amp;sort=BoostOrder&amp;amp;pageSize=60" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.bunnings.co.nz/our-range/bathroom-plumbing/plumbing/plumbing-spares/pan-connectors?page=1&amp;amp;facets=CategoryIdPath%3D55478a07-9fcb-4058-a467-3a65f9c93df9%2CSubCategoryIdPath%3D4311e728-f449-41a0-9c52-2941521c9eda&amp;amp;sort=BoostOrder&amp;amp;pageSize=60&lt;/A&gt;)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="20210225_193322 (1).jpg" style="width: 1170px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/24874iA431A6E81AA64D8A/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="20210225_193322 (1).jpg" alt="20210225_193322 (1).jpg" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="20210305_131026.jpg" style="width: 749px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/24875iE252ABDE412FA7E2/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="20210305_131026.jpg" alt="20210305_131026.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi &lt;a href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/23191"&gt;@Maxtiger&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;My first thoughts are that the pipe coming out of the wall is at an unfortunate angle. You're dealing with an offset and an unusual&amp;nbsp;angle of approach from the incoming pipe. Do you happen to know what the offset is on the current connector that is leaking?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;It might be a matter of trial and error, but I believe if you cut the pipe back&amp;nbsp;to the wall and attach a&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://www.bunnings.co.nz/marley-vinidex-m-f-100mm-43-grey-pvc-m-f-spigot-bend_p0444571" target="_blank"&gt;Marley Vinidex M &amp;amp; F 100mm 43º Grey PVC M/F Spigot Bend&lt;/A&gt;, then an offset connector would have a better chance at fitting. Once the spigot bend is fitted and you have two pipes parallel with each other, you could select the correct&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://www.bunnings.co.nz/search/products?page=1&amp;amp;q=offset%20connector&amp;amp;sort=BoostOrder&amp;amp;pageSize=60" target="_blank"&gt;offset connector&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;to suit.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Offset connectors join pipes that are parallel to each other but not quite inline. As you've experienced, because of the rubber fitting the waste pipe can have a slight angle to it. However, once that angle becomes too large, they'll start to leak.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Let me mention &lt;a href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1050"&gt;@redracer01&lt;/a&gt; to see if he has any alternative ideas to offer.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Mitchell&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Appreciate the ideas, thanks Mitchell!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Cutting everything away seems pretty drastic when there were no leaking problems before.., I know it looks shabby but other fires to put out within the house at the moment.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Appreciate any advice!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks again M!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello &lt;a href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/23191"&gt;@Maxtiger&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Just to add to &lt;a href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/14838"&gt;@MitchellMc&lt;/a&gt; 's suggestion you can use 2 x 45 degree bends to increase the height of the current exit pipe. You will have to cut a bit of the pipe back to install the additional bends but it will increase the height so that it lines up with the toilets current level. I suggest using a Nucon pan connector a much better seal of the outlet. I've attached pictures below.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Cheers,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Red&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Screenshot_2021-03-07 Holman 100mm 45° F-F PVC DWV Plain Bend.png" style="width: 1170px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/24911i176804471A54C984/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="Screenshot_2021-03-07 Holman 100mm 45° F-F PVC DWV Plain Bend.png" alt="Screenshot_2021-03-07 Holman 100mm 45° F-F PVC DWV Plain Bend.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="See if you can find a NZ equivalent." style="width: 1170px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/24912iEAECDA5E4425E879/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="Screenshot_2021-03-07 Holman 100mm 45 5° M-F PVC DWV Plain Bend.png" alt="See if you can find a NZ equivalent." /&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-caption" onclick="event.preventDefault();"&gt;See if you can find a NZ equivalent.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Better over all seal with rubber all around." style="width: 1170px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/24913i529926740687788E/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="Screenshot_2021-03-07 Pacific Nucon Pan Connector 100x100mm White.png" alt="Better over all seal with rubber all around." /&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-caption" onclick="event.preventDefault();"&gt;Better over all seal with rubber all around.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="There's the NZ equivalent!" style="width: 1170px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/24914iF3B458013C3B1EBE/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="Screenshot_2021-03-07 Marley Vinidex M F 100mm 43º Grey PVC M F Spigot Bend.png" alt="There's the NZ equivalent!" /&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-caption" onclick="event.preventDefault();"&gt;There's the NZ equivalent!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
