Changing Toilets

[Shutpa]

We had this toilet:

and want to replace it with this:

Waste outlet is on the floor. Will the change over be easy enough?

looks fine, the waste outlet is pretty much the same so you shouldn't have a problem.

Yup, the only real difference is 5mm for the waste to the back to the wall which the waste pipe should take up NBAA. The only other difference may be the actual foot print and unless you had lino/tiles cut to the last one then again no issue.

5mm is neither here nor there. This can be taken up by the (new!) pan connector.

Looking at the diagram the footprint front to back looks a couple of inches bigger than the old, so makes life a bit easier at the front, but the back is further from the wall. This will leave the pan conn more visible.

Side to side footprint, nothing to compare on the second diagram.

Sizing guesswork based on diagrams being to scale.

B0ll0cks!!!
I made the very reasonable assumption that the diagrams were in the same order as the text/links above them.
Start again!! (Well, copy, paste, amend)

Looking at the diagram the footprint front to back looks a couple of inches shorterer than the old, but the back is closer to the wall. This will leave the pan conn less visible and looking neater.
Depending how the pan is seated there may be a problem making good at the front.

Should have said that existing vynyl is being replaced with ceramic tiles.

Thanks for the help guys, fitting the toilet was simplicity itself.
