I am fitting a new toilet (& bathroom suite) in a bungalow that I am renovating. The Waste pipe in the concrete floor is about 150 mm from the wall.

I imagine that the original toilet had a vertical outlet into the sewer and would have been in an acceptable position. However if I use a toilet with a horizontal outlet and connect it to the waste pipe it pushes the toilet pan too far forward. (it is a fairly small bathroom).

Is it possible to buy toilets similar in design to the original or am I going to dig up the floor and try and fit an adjustable bend?

A swan necked pan connector may help a bit.

If you can't move the soil pipe nearer to the wall, then consider moving the wall nearer to the pipe by building out part of the wall behind the pan and cistern with studwork.

Maybe consider a concealed cistern setup?
