Toilet waste height.

[jonny1]

I have my waste pipe coming through the wall level (no fall), it is also about 30mm higher than the toilet that i want to fit? would someone tell me the connector i need to join the both but more importantly will this cause any problems when flushing the toilet?? cheers

you can try an offset pan connector come in 20mm - 40mm offset.

i never tried one with the soil pipe higher than the pan but it may be ok.

or make a template out of ply to raise the pan.

you forgot to draw the turd balanced on the collar lol

Traditionally the pan would be raised up on plywood in various thicknesses jigsawed to fit under the WC pan but it looks pants Alternatively you can constrct a small platform area for the pan or part or all of the bathroom

The offset should work depending on how tight the bend is but you ill have a higher water level in the pan

then again you might get some `comeback'

The water level in your toilet will probably be higher as the level is set by the hight of the outlet (unless it's siphonic) Water will always find it's own level and it really doesn't like running up hill.

Raising it would be the best bet as seco said.

would 30mm really cause it to back flow????? are there toilets with a higher waste?

 

[weseeyou]

probably not Jonny we are just ribbin ya .
With no other options why not try it ? Pan conns are cheap enough and you don't need to connect everything up to test it out. use a small bucket of water to simulate a flush

 

[jonny1]

thats what im planning to do hopefully it'll be ok, cheers everyone.

 

[weseeyou]

no worries jonny.

Make sure that you have a `backup plan' if things get stuck
just kiddin
