Toilet cistern overflow pipe??

[garry1234]

Hi all,

I've had a builder in who I consequentl got shot of , can't go into it, far too long.

Anyways on tiling my bathroom the other day I have notice that they hadn't allowed for an over flow pipe to come out of the wall. Ass my toilet is 5ft from the wall and tiled, is there any other way I can sort this problem out, without having to rip my partion & tiles out and drill a hole in the wall.

Can it be fed in to the toilet pan etc?

I hope this reads right!

Thanks in advance

does the toilet need an external overflow pipe? some loos have an integral overflow.

does the toilet need an external overflow pipe? some loos have an integral overflow.

It says: Internal Overflow Warning

If internal overflow warning is required, seal external warning pipe hole in side or bottom of cistern with plug & sealing washer.

Then it says:

External Overflow Warning Pipe. (Side Entry)

TD straight warning pipe connector is fitted from inside the cistern and secured with a flange nut. Elbow is fitted outside and fitted with flange nut.

Bottom Entry

Fix angled warning pipe through base of cistern with rubber sealing washer inside. Turn angle of pipe to corner of the cistern allow clearance from ball float arm movement , if fitted, and tighten back nut.

I am presuming I need one, if so I how can I go about it and is there any other way??

Thanks in advance

It sounds like you already have one. If not, put a Flapper or other flushing device in the cistern, with built-in internal overflow that will dribble down the pan.

Any cistern will overflow internally if the siphon (or flush valve) is short enough.
