Toilet waste exits straight down

I am replacing our toilet and the soil pipe exit straight below the pan into the drain underground. I am having trouble locating a replacement.

Where could I get one? Are they rare? Do they have a special name?

Many thanks.

You might get a plain, cheap "BS" S-trap pan to fit, but the normal solution is to use a special plastic elbow which allows you to push the pan back as far as possible. Often you still need to pack 2" behind the cistern
 
They are rare - and old usually - and you might be surprised @ what it`ll get on eBay. :idea: Could be "London Pattern :confused: " was a thread on here a few weeks ago about them .
 
I had a similar problem when I refurbed by cloakroom. The original toilet had a chain pull cistern up a height and the toilet pan was in a really daft position about 1.5" forward off the wall.

I had to change the layout of the cloakroom and buy a suite based on units and a concealed cistern arrangement to enable me to fit a modern toilet further forward using the units to take up the wasted space behind the toilet and hide the pipework.

Was a total nightmare tbh. Took me ages and lots of modification to get it spot on.

please let us know the make and type no if you find one

a pic will be nice

it's a common question.
 
that's tanfastic, tincup

Looks like the Quinta or the Refresh.

Do you know any others?
 
Hi John.

How much choice do you want? Theirs about 6 (BO) in that link.
I use City plumbing but all merchants could get them.
Great when the soil pipe is 8-10inches from the wall and the customer insists on a close coupled.


HTH
 
my soil pipe socket centre is 250mm :mad: from the wall, and the old low-level pan projects 740mm from the wall including seat cover overhang. The diagram tells me the Refresh b.o. outlet is 225 from the back, and has a 640 projection

the room is very small and has a corner basin, so whatever extra space I can get from a new pan will help. The close-coupled looks better as well.

The Quinta seems very expensive, and would also take up more room.
 
Did you see page 11 refresh 260mm wall - centre. I paid CP £290inc. Its not cheap but if thats what a customer wants then so be it, or find one themselves.
 
ah, the lever cistern one, thanks. I might get a bit of wiggle room on the rubber socket liner, or maybe I could chip a bit of plaster off the wall

ta!

bloody expensive though :cry:
 
Hi John.
You want cheaper move the soil pipe!!!! Not one of customers as gone for this option yet.
