What's this toilet connector?
Discussion
Hi all, hoping for some help with replacing an old leaking toilet pan connector. This is the connector coming out of the wall and the rubber has started to perish so it's leaking, the second picture shows the plastic ring that fits over the rubber. I can't seem to find anything like this but maybe I just don't know what it's called?
Ideally I'd like to just replace the rubber and ring as the plastic part appears to be bonded to the main pipe.


Thanks for any help.

Make absolutely sure it’s pushed fully home on the chinaware before you flush it, these things can start a nasty drip which builds up over time on/under the floor. I’d probably leave a plastic box and some kitchen roll under it for a few weeks after you reassemble to ensure it’s totally watertight.
Yes, I have had one leak…

Thanks all, my problem seems to be that the plastic pan connector (on the back of the toilet) pushes into this pipe coming out of the wall and without a new rubber seal I can't get a waterproof seal - I'm looking on Screwfix and Wickes but if there's a better online site I'd be keen to find it.
I came across a 4" extension pipe that can be cut to length and that has allowed me to ignore the old rubber seal on the wall end and push fit the new pan connector straight into it. The toilet has been in for >25 years and I'd say it was a bit of a bodge given how badly it fitted when I took it apart but I'm pleased with how it's turned out.
