My present toilet has to stand on a 1.5" plinth so that the outlet is level with the waste pipe
I want to replace it with a toilet that stands on the floor. This will mean fitting a toilet with a higher than normal outlet ,say about 10" from the floor.
Are these available or are all toilets made to the same specification?
Note...
Lowering the waste pipe is a no no.

Have only seen std height, or wall mounted pans.
 
You would need a lot of pressure to push the solids uphill 10 inches. :LOL:

Reroute your waste or build up a platform. :D

Remeber having to make such plinths years ago. Can usually get around it now by cutting soil pipe off close to the wall and using bendy pan connectors, extension multikwiks and stuff. Worst case scenario is renew at least some soil stack or make another plinth out of timber
The standard height to centre line of pan spigot used to be 9½" and since the 70's or something its now 7½"
 
Wouldn't want a flexi connector going uphill on my loo ! Why is adjusting the waste pipe a 'no no' ?
