    Default P-Trap Toilet Setback

    Ok almost finished bathroom reno and the new loo doesn't fit The waste pipe coming from the wall only extends about 120mm and the toilet looks to need at least 140mm.

    So what to do... Easy enough to extend the waste pipe out further? I looked at Bunnies and didn't find any suitable connector fittings to add more pipe length to the existing one....

    I guess I could go for a different toilet but would like to use the one we have... plus we have had it for years in the box and probably can't take it back now...

    Advice welcome
