Vertically drained smart toilet --- connection issue

[jromk]

Have a toilet draining into a 4" soil pipe

It's a vovo TCB-090SA and it comes with a wax ring but it doesn't come with a toilet or closet flange (because these are often solvent-welded to the soil pipe). They assume one is already there.

Where can I pick up one of these pieces in red quickly in the UK? I see them on Amazon/eBay but from the USA mainly.

How do we normally connect these toilets to the soil pipe in the UK, if we don't use toilet/closet flanges?

They appear to sell something appropriate on Amazon

Do you believe that’s legal to install in the UK?

Maybe look at American sites.

I fitted this style of toilet with a bottom outlet with a waxed ring when I worked in Canada .

The issue is they have ridiculous lead times of 2 weeks +

Yes

Why do you think its illegal?

I am guessing he is concerned about backflow protection in accordance with WRAS standards/regs

Right. Do the installation instructions mention WRAS?

No, they don't. But the installation can be made fully compliant with Water Regs through the addition of a type AB air gap. Similar care should obviously be taken to adhere to UK electrical building standards. This post isn't really about that though.
