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

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!
