Toilet Pan Connector McAlpine WCECON1 260 mm flexible WC connection

McAlpine WCECON1 is a 260 mm nominal length flexible toilet pan connector designed to join a close-coupled or floor-mounted WC to the soil pipe. The connector creates a sealed, low-profile connection that compensates for minor misalignment between the pan outlet and the waste pipe. Constructed for standard domestic and light commercial sanitary installations, it simplifies installation where a reliable, flexible joint is required and reduces stress on pipework caused by slight movement.

Advantages

The flexible design accommodates offsets and slight angular misalignment without the need for precise positioning, reducing the need for additional pipe modification. The connector provides a watertight seal to help prevent leaks and odours, and its compact form allows use in confined spaces behind close-coupled or floor-mounted WCs. Materials and construction are selected for compatibility with typical household waste systems and for straightforward installation and maintenance.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting close-coupled or floor-mounted WCs to soil/waste pipes
• Retrofit projects where existing pipe alignment cannot be altered
• Domestic bathrooms and light commercial sanitary installations
• Installations requiring a compact, sealed connection in confined spaces

Key specifications

• Nominal length: 260 mm flexible connector designed to bridge small gaps
• Type: Flexible toilet pan connector for WC outlet to soil pipe connection
• Function: Creates a sealed joint to prevent leaks and odours while accommodating minor misalignment
• Application: Suitable for close-coupled and floor-mounted WC installations in domestic and light commercial settings

How to use

Ensure the WC pan outlet and the soil pipe are clean and free of debris. Compress or extend the flexible connector to align with the pan outlet and the waste pipe, then slide the appropriate ends onto each connection point until a snug fit is achieved. Follow any manufacturer torque or fixing instructions for clamps or sealing rings if present. Check the joint for alignment and integrity before finalising the installation and run a water test to confirm there are no leaks.

Usage recommendations

Use this connector where small offsets or slight movement are expected; avoid using it as a substitute for correct pipe alignment in cases of significant misalignment. Regularly inspect the connection for signs of wear or leakage, especially after heavy use or freeze/thaw cycles in unheated spaces.
