Bathroom Fitting

Wall Hung Toilet far from wall..

Anonymous user 09/03/2024 - 2.46 PM

I hope to renovate my very awkward bathroom. The soil stack is on the floor, about a foot away from the concrete wall that the toilet backs on to. At its furthest point, the end of the soil stack is ~41cm away from the back wall! My current toilet is traditional toilet/cistern combo, and sits a foot away from the wall! I would like something more elegant, hiding the soil stack and everything behind it in a WC unit. The unit's 'worktop' would then be about 45cm deep. The question is, could the toilet attached to my WC unit be the 'wall hung' variety? I would prefer this from an aesthetic point of view, but suspect there is not likely to be a reasonable, robust, safe, secure, sensible and economical way of supporting the frame given it is so far from the concrete wall... Advice please! I have attempted to make a diagram, but not sure how this will come out....! |<----450-----> |___________ |___________| |...........| | |...........| | |...........| |_______ |...........| |_______| |...........| |..........| |...........| |......../ |<--410-->| |____/ |______O|_|__________

I have recently had to deal with a similar situation; what you are talking about is a concealed cistern arrangement. All you would need is either a flexible connection between the toilet and the soil stack. If the toilet is to be offset to the cistern then careful attention should be made to ensure an efficient flush. The problem you have can be easily resolved with some carpentry and basic plumbing. I hope this helps. Michael Strachan. Fortuna Property Investment

"Gerberit" have in their range a concealed cistern specially designed to do what you want. The cistern is mounted within a frame that bolts to the wall and is adjustable to fit most WC units. Your wall hung toilet then bolts through the unit and onto the frame. Google "Gerberit" to have a look. Mike Palin
