Hi there I'm putting a toilet in a woolshed and I'm wanting to no how do you install the pan connector in the floor? Do you just cut a hole and it sits there? And do you just push fit the sanitary pipe to the pan connector? Or glue it?

Is it going direct on a wooden floor? If so just screw it down,most new pans have a couple of screw holes on the side,if over Lino/tiles a thin bead of silicone will work.The pan connector should be glued with the appropriate glue to the outlet.

I just changed my toilet. I'm no plumber but worked it out in the end. My pan connector had a wonderful flexible rubber sleeve on it so no glue was involved. It slipped over the existing waste pipe after a bit of sawing and scraping off old lead. The instructions that came with it showed hiow to instal it on the toilet pan first, then slide it over the waste pipe. Now in your case, where does the waste pipe rise into the room? Or are you installing that at the same time perhaps?

So it's getting installed into a wooden floor its all new so I have to cut the hole connect the waste pipe to the pan connector etc it has like fin style gasket on the pan connector does that just slip fit into the pvc 100mm dvw waste pipe? Does the pan fitting just sit in the round hole I cut?

Should slightly elevated above the floor without pressure from the pan,the collar is glued to the pipe which should be supported,pan slips into the connector,screw off to the floor.

waste pipe would be cut pretty much flush with the top of the floor, the pan connector has the rubber fin looking bit that slips in about 60mmish into the pipe, then the toilet slips into the rubber opening in the connector, no glue-pretty much like a couple of slip joints, alot of plumbers just silicone the toilet down if its on tiles for fear of breaking tiles while drilling screw holes
