Soil pipe from toilet vertically down, and not horizontal

[Possom]

I have a 1930s toilet which was in an outside shed at my house, but I was thinking of moving it to the main 1st floor bathroom.

The soil pipe is in the same configuration as the one shown in the link, that is, it goes out and down into the ground and not simply straight out.

Would it be any more difficult to install this type of loo due to this configuration of soil pipe?

A new hole will have to be made in the wall in any case as I'm going to have the location of the toilet moved within the bathroom.

If you have enough space in the floor to accommodate the soil pipe then no reason not to use it.

The joists are running out the correct way so they wouldn't need to be sawn.

I wonder if a 1930s porcelain toilet would have any more limescale issues than a modern one?

I guess the only issue with scaling would be if the porcelain was worn within the bend, if not and it's totally smooth and shiny then there should be no more an issue with scaling up than in a new toilet.

Someone mentioned that perhaps a vintage 1930s toilet may be less effective at flushing away solids than a modern one...

Though I'd probably get a new high level cistern to replace the black plastic high level cistern one it currently has.

Personally I'd reckon the 1930's pan would work better than mots of the modern offerings. The 2 gallon flush was developed for a reason, 2 gallons was needed to clear the pan, all these 6 litre flushes that take several attempts to clear anything, actually end up using twice the water of an old WC that clears a number 2 in 1...

In days of yore said uncle Albert, there were P traps, S traps, Right hand traps, left hand traps, cottage pans,P,S and Q. Now its one fits all pans and flexi pipe.
