FAQs

What is the 'Lock Ring' and what does it do?

The 'Lock Ring' is a patented feature on the McAlpine MAC-8 designed to create a tighter and more secure connection to the toilet pan outlet, preventing leaks.

What size soil pipes is the MAC-8 compatible with?

The MAC-8 is designed for use with 4" (110mm) PVC-U and cast iron soil pipes.

What material is the MAC-8 made from?

The MAC-8 is manufactured in EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate), a soft, durable, and flexible plastic material, along with synthetic rubber seals.

How do I clean the MAC-8?

Clean the connector with a mild detergent and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals.

My toilet is leaking after installation. What should I do?

First, check that all connections are secure and the 'Lock Ring' is properly engaged. Then, inspect the seals for damage. If the leak persists, you might need to disassemble and reassemble the connector, ensuring proper alignment.

Can I use the MAC-8 with any type of toilet?

The MAC-8 is suitable for toilets with pan spigots that fit within the 97-107mm inlet range. Ensure the soil pipe is either 4" PVC-U or cast iron.

Troubleshooting

Leakage at the connection points.

Ensure the 'Lock Ring' is properly engaged and tightened. Check the seals for any damage or debris, and replace if necessary. Make sure the connector is fully inserted into the soil pipe.

Difficult to connect to the toilet pan.

Ensure the pan spigot is clean. Lubricate the inside of the connector with a small amount of water or a plumbing lubricant to ease installation.
