I am replacing the toilet in a 1930s house. The original toilet was puttied (highly technical term) into the original cast iron pipe. I need to cut a couple of inches off the pipe to fit the new toilet. Unfortunately the internal diameter of the pipe is very slightly too small for the standard 99-105 wc pan connector. What are the solutions? TIA
WC pan connector help please

If you are not already using one, you may need to find a "proper" cast iron to plastic adapter. We had this issue, the CI adapter has a slightly smaller OD with more fins, the pan connector then fits into this.
Ours came from a local plumbers merchant, who new about the problem ;)
Think I've seen them in Wickes though.

Many thanks Lee, I'll try the local plumbers merchants, couldn't see anything on the net.
If you have an older (non BS 416) CI soil pipe then it may be a
88-92mm. You could try a Multikwik MKEB which is 88-92mm.Lee
