We are re-doing the bathroom at the moment. We want to replace the toilet which is a close coupled one with either wall hung or BTW. The existing waste outlet is higher than the standard with a 20 cm centre going out of the back wall. The current toilet sits on the internal wall and has a right angled connection to the waste outlet. The distance from the outside wall to the toilet waste in 125 cm. The toilet sits on a 30mm plinth which is on top of tiles and 6 mm ply so this more than raises the toilet to give adequate flow on 25mm per m. BUT I have never liked the plinth - it looks ugly and cobbled together. I also prefer the look of BTW and wall hung toilets. I need some advice on what I have worked out might be issues on these.
BTW
These can accommodate the right angled right hand outlet but the outlets on the toilets I can find appear to be 18cm or 19 cm high at the centre. This would mean the flow would not work. I have calculated we need 30mm fall over that distance. We have the 6mm ply leaving us 24 mm short. I think I have 2 options. 1) remove the old outlet, make the outlet hole in the wall lower and replace with a new plastic outlet and stack OR 2) Build a plinth and try to make it look OK (worry is our 12 year old is hardly accurate with his aim and the plinth might suffer -the current one is topped with a square tile). Has any one else got any ideas about how to configure a BTW to give a clean look and the flow?
Wall hung
At first glance this solves the problem of the height as these are adjustable, however the frames do not appear to allow for a right handed horizontal outlet. Does anyone know of any frames that allow for this? I wondered if we could construct a solid enough false wall with a gap near the bottom to allow for the pipe? Do these frames allow for a horizontal outlet going straight out the back which could then be connected to a right angle connector to go right?
