How to replace a damaged toilet pan collar or install an offset?

[bevantay]

Any suggestions how to replace a toilet pan collar or to install an pan offset into existing pan collar?

I was trying to get a 30mm offset and mistakenly thought I could PVC cement the offset pipe to the pan collar. However the PVC cement will not stick to the plastic collar.

So now I have a partially cut collar that I need to replace, or need a way to get an offset.

Internal collar hole diameter is around 94mm so standard offset pipe 110mm will not fit, so I removed the rubber seal thinking I could cement it.

Could I use builders bog to get the plastic and PVC to hold?

Any suggestions welcome. Thanks

Hi @bevantay,

I take it this is the soil pipe coming out of the back of your toilet wash-pan?

Unless you're a craftsman plumber, you shouldn't be messing with sanitary/ sewage pipework, there are rules against this

both in Australia and New Zealand.

Personally I would hire a qualified plumber to look at this.

Cheers,

Thanks Mike, actually I managed to get a plumber out today and solution was to cut the pan connection off and removed the old connection. Now I have a compliant fitting and install toilet. Thank you
