What is the purpose of the 'Lock Ring'?

The 'Lock Ring' provides a superior, tighter connection to the WC pan outlet, preventing leaks.

What material is the connector made from?

EVA, a soft, durable, and flexible plastic material.

Troubleshooting

Leakage at the toilet pan connection

Ensure the 'Lock Ring' seal is properly engaged and tightened. Check for any obstructions preventing a tight seal. Replace if damaged.

Leakage at the soil pipe connection

Make sure the connector is fully inserted into the soil pipe. Check the pipe and connector for cracks. Replace if needed.

Connector is difficult to install

Ensure the pipe and toilet spigot are clean. Apply a small amount of lubricant (such as silicone grease) to the seals to ease installation.

Water drains slowly

Check for any blockage in the connector or the waste pipe. Remove any obstructions. Ensure the offset angle is not excessively restricting flow.
