Product Information

Full details

The FloPlast Pan Connector - 90 Degree Bent SP103 is designed for plumbers and DIY enthusiasts working with 110mm soil systems. Its primary benefit is providing a secure and versatile 90-degree connection between a standard WC pan and a soil pipe, often situated in the floor. A potential caveat is the need for careful installation to ensure the seal is not kinked or trapped, though silicon spray can aid this process. Key features include its durable polypropylene construction, integral sealing diaphragm for slight misalignment, and adherence to BS5627:1984 standards.

FAQs

What does '90 Degree Bent' mean for this pan connector?

It means the connector has a sharp, right-angle bend, allowing you to connect a toilet with a horizontal outlet directly to a soil pipe positioned at a 90-degree angle, typically one located in the floor.

What size pipes does this connector fit?

This pan connector is designed for use with standard 110mm diameter soil pipes and WC pan outlets.

Can I use this connector if my pipes aren't perfectly aligned?

Yes, the integral sealing diaphragm allows for minor misalignments of up to 5 degrees in any direction, which helps create a secure seal even if the pipes aren't perfectly straight.

What is the material of the pan connector?

The pan connector is made from durable polypropylene.

Do I need any special tools to install this?

While not strictly a tool, silicon spray is highly recommended to lubricate the connections and make installation easier and safer for the seals. Basic plumbing knowledge is also required.

What standard does this product meet?

It is manufactured to BS5627:1984 standards.

How do I ensure a leak-free connection?

Ensure both the pan outlet and the soil pipe are clean. Push the connectors in fully, ensuring the seal is not kinked or trapped. Using silicon spray will help achieve a proper seal.

Troubleshooting

Pan connector does not fit securely into the soil pipe.

Ensure the soil pipe end is clean and free of obstructions. Reapply silicon spray to the connector's fins and the pipe interior. Ensure the correct 110mm diameter pipe is being used.

Difficulty connecting WC pan to the connector.

Apply silicon spray to the neck seal of the pan connector and the WC pan outlet. Ensure the seal is correctly seated and not twisted. Check that the pan outlet is fully inserted.

Suspected leak at the connection.

Carefully check that the seals are not kinked or trapped. Ensure the connection is pushed fully home. The integral diaphragm allows up to 5 degrees of misalignment; significant angles may require adjustment or re-piping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure both the WC pan outlet and the soil pipe connection are clean and free from debris.
  2. Apply silicon spray to the outlet fins of the pan connector and the inside of the 110mm soil pipe.
  3. Push the pan connector fins firmly into the soil pipe.
  4. Apply silicon spray to the neck of the pan connector's large ring seal.
  5. Push the WC pan outlet into the large ring seal of the pan connector. Ensure the seal is not kinked or trapped.
  6. Verify the connection is secure and the pan sits level.

Compatibility:

Care:
