re fitting toilet

Arn't multiquick a form of flexi then..? or just a flexi joint on them..

Multiquick is just a brand name,best on the market as the rubber is soft and flexable

Multikwik Straight Pan Connector (Pan Connectors: Straight)

multiquicks are a cross between the two aren't they? a kind of offset short flexi?

Fixing a toilet tomorrow in a block of flats. All the toilets have one soil stack which was put in at the wrong height 40 yrs ago. All the soil pipes are too near the floor so the offset required is about 3" over a length of only 7". I wished I could use a flexi but they won't scrunch up enough. Only option is putting two offsets together.
Three other options, build a box behind the cistern to give a better length,
get the owners of the flats to replace the soil stack!!! Not
or do, as one flat has done, sink the toilet into the floor two inches!!!!!!! Deffo Not

You are right about flexi pan connectors they need a certain distance between soil pipe and spigot on toilet to be able to 'flex'. I try an avoid them if poss as they are prone to popping off the spigot on the w/c and also they dont have a smooth internal surface it is ribbed same as the exterior and i will leave it up to you guys to imagine what fills those internal ridges up over a few months (winnie the ....)
Mcalpine and Multiquik are branded pan connectors and come in various guises as previously mentioned.There is also a 40mm offset available if you wish to raise the toilet that high after fixing 18mm ply,tiles and addy.or just move it left/right a little.

now now boys calm down

flexies are a last resort when nothing will line up, theres nothing cowboy about them

an offset will usually sort this but if not use a flexi
