McAlpine short eccentric 80 mm waste connector WC-LO-8 for WC and soil pipe connection

The McAlpine short eccentric 80 mm waste connector WC-LO-8 is designed to join a WC pan outlet to a vertical soil or waste pipe where a slight offset is required. It provides an eccentric alignment that compensates for positional mismatch between the pan spigot and the soil pipe, enabling a sealed connection in limited space installations such as domestic bathrooms and utility rooms. The compact profile reduces the distance required behind the pan and helps maintain proper flow and trap alignment without modifying existing pipework.

Advantages

This short eccentric connector offers a secure and sealed junction between the WC outlet and the soil pipe while occupying minimal space. Its eccentric design allows installers to correct minor misalignment without cutting or relocating pipes, simplifying fitting and reducing installation time. Manufactured for sanitary drainage use, the connector resists deformation under typical bathroom conditions and supports reliable waste flow and trap positioning.

Suitable for

• Connecting a close-coupled or back-to-wall WC to a vertical soil or waste pipe with an offset
• Installations with limited rear clearance behind the pan
• Bathroom renovations where existing pipe centres do not match new pan outlets
• Utility rooms or commercial washrooms requiring compact WC connections

Key specifications

• Connection diameter: 80 mm
• Short, compact eccentric profile to provide offset alignment
• Designed for vertical soil or waste pipe connection
• Sealed joint compatible with standard WC spigots and soil pipe fittings

How to use

Ensure both the WC spigot and the soil pipe are clean and free of debris before fitting. Position the eccentric connector so the offset aligns the pan outlet with the soil pipe, then push the connector onto the soil pipe and slide the WC pan spigot into the opposite end until a secure, seated connection is achieved. Check that the connector is seated evenly and that any integrated sealing faces are undamaged. After installation, test by running water to confirm there are no leaks and that the trap alignment is correct.

Usage recommendations

Use the connector only with compatible 80 mm soil or waste pipes and standard WC spigots. Do not force the part onto excessively misaligned pipework; if large offsets or angular discrepancies exist, consider using an alternative fitting or adjusting the pipework. Inspect seals before and after installation and replace the connector if any damage or distortion is detected to maintain a watertight sanitary connection.
