FAQs
Is this connector compatible with all toilet types?
It is designed for standard 110mm (4-inch) soil and vent systems, which are the industry standard for most UK toilet installations.
Can the pipe be cut to size?
Yes, the tail is designed to be trimmed to the required length using a standard fine-tooth hacksaw.
Does it come with the necessary seals?
Yes, it includes high-quality, thick rubber seals pre-installed to ensure a watertight fit.
What is the length of the tail?
The total reach of the long tail design is 390mm.
Do I need solvent weld for this connection?
The Kwikfit design relies on compression seals and typically does not require solvent weld, allowing for easier maintenance and removal.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty inserting the connector into the pipe
Apply a generous amount of silicone-based plumbing lubricant to the rubber seals to reduce friction.
Seal is leaking after installation
Ensure the pipe is cut square and deburred. Check that the seal was not pinched or folded during the insertion process.
Connector is too long for the gap
Use a hacksaw to carefully trim the tail to the required length, ensuring the cut is straight.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Durable, professional-grade construction

Cons
- Requires manual cutting for a perfect fit

- Rigid 90-degree bend is not adjustable for complex offsets
Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Preparation: Ensure the 110mm soil pipe is clean and free of debris or old adhesive residue.
- Measurement: Place the connector into the soil pipe and against the toilet outlet to determine how much, if any, of the tail needs to be trimmed.
- Installation: Apply a small amount of pipe lubricant to the seals. Insert the connector into the soil pipe first, then align and push the toilet pan into the connector tail until fully seated.
- Care: Avoid using harsh chemical drain cleaners, as these can degrade the rubber seals over time. Regularly check for signs of dampness around the connection points to ensure the seals remain effective.
