I want to insert a new toilet into a pvc pipe by using a rubber sleeve but I think it might be a tight fit. Is there any household type lubricant, cream (or even soapy water?) I could use with the rubber sleeve to make it easier to fit? Thanks

It's a horizontal wall pvc outlet pipe and I just want to insert the toilet bowl into it, but first to insert a rubber sleeve (accordion type) around the toilet outlet.

I've never done what you're doing but I usually use dishwashing liquid ( such as dawn ) for lubricating rubber during assembly .

Without more information, all anyone can do is try to guess what the heck you are trying to do. It really sounds like you are trying to hack this installation rather than using the proper parts. I would suggest that since you don't appear to have any experience or knowledge about this installation, you should hire a professional plumber to do this job so that you know it is done correctly.

If you are installing a wall hung water closet, I would call a plumber and have them do it. I seen to many wall hung units break off the anchor system and shatter from improper installations. To many people assume the wall supports the water closet, it does not. The carrier bolts do all the holding and supporting. The back up nuts and washers need to be properly set, the carrier nipple needs to be set properly as well.
