FAQs

What tools do I need for installation?

You'll need a measuring tape, saw (if cutting is required), solvent weld adhesive, and appropriate fixings.

What type of adhesive should I use?

Use a solvent weld adhesive specifically designed for PVC-U or the material of your soil pipe and WC connector.

Is this extension piece suitable for all toilets?

It is compatible with McAlpine Rigid and MACFIT WC Connectors with 4"/110mm outlets. Always check the specifications of your toilet and soil pipe.

Can I use this extension piece with cast iron soil pipes?

Yes, the McAlpine WC-EXTB is compatible with cast iron soil pipes, provided the diameter is 3½"/90mm or 4"/110mm.

How do I measure the required length?

Measure the distance between the toilet outlet and the soil pipe. Subtract the length of your existing connector to determine the necessary extension length.

What if the extension piece is too long?

You can cut the extension piece to the required length using a saw. Ensure a clean, straight cut for a proper seal.

How long should I wait for the adhesive to dry?

Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the solvent weld adhesive for drying times. Typically, allow several hours before testing the connection with water.

Troubleshooting

Leakage at the connection points.

Check the connection for proper fit. Ensure solvent weld adhesive was correctly applied and that the fixings are secure. Reapply adhesive if necessary.

Ensure that the pipes and connector are free of obstructions. Use lubricant if necessary. Check that the extension piece is the correct size.
