Is my soil pipe too high where it connects to the toilet?

The fall is away from the bog....,.

toilet outlet and the height of the soil pipe, with the toilet being lower.

create a good seal on the bog. The flush is quite efficient, giving quite a blast of water to clear the pan. So I'm hoping it will blast all the contents of the pan up the slight incline after use.

carpenter), but if I have to, then I will. What would I do, just find an inch thick piece of pine and cut it to fit?

You need flexy connector to have a fall .... even if only 1% otherwise it will leak .... don't be tempted to seal with silicon .... bodge waiting to fail.

See if you can lower the pipe run ... if not put a 1" piece of ply under pan (cut neat to match profile)

xi-toilet connector. The total horizontal run of soil pipe is 1.5m from sta= ck to toilet.

slightly lower than the soil pipe where it joins. It's really just on the n= ose by the look of it, but there is a slight water drip from the toilet con= nector and I'm concerned that this setup may cause issues in the future wit= h flushing/blockages/leaks.

the stack is not an option as it's all boxed in and I've fixed, tiled sili= coned the bath in place.

Everyone, thanks very much for your replies and advice. I've been out to wi= ckes and got an adjustable 110mm soil connector, which has sorted out the a= ngle of the soil pipe which has in turn also allowed me to bin off the flex= ible waste connector and replace it with a proper 90deg soil connector. It = all goes together nicely except for the slight rise remaining in the soil c= onnector from the toilet to the soil (there's still fall along the length o= f the soil pipe). I've got some 20mm ply in the garage, so I'm going to mak= e a plinth with the ply and mount the bog on it over the next few days.

Hopefully all of the above will give me a reliable installation. I'll updat= e here when finished.

Thanks again!
