Water feed for new toilet.

[TheVictorian]

I'm in the process of sorting out our new ensuite which is going in the corner of an existing bedroom, building control are involved and everything is being done by the book.

I am trying to make sure that there are no joints in water pipes, either under the floor or in the walls to prevent problems in the future. The cold water supply is ran in plastic from the bathroom under the floors and then splits into three under a cupboard floor which is quite accessible, a feed then goes to the sink, the shower and the toilet.

I'm scratching my head a little bit as to how to best make the final connection to the toilet, the wall it is on is battened and insulated to 50mm before plasterboard on top and then tiles on the bottom half. I could bring the pipe up the wall about 12" and then put a 90 compression or push fit on to bring a stub of pipe out of the wall to connect up to the toilet, but that would then be covered by tiles and inaccessible (or it would look ugly).

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could best get the water to the toilet in a way that looks neat and doesn't have any inaccessible joins?

Sorry for the convoluted post for something that should be simple!

To alleviate having a 90° joint (elbow) inaccessible in the wall, why not try a cold formed bend, if there's room?

Thank you for the suggestion, unfortunately there isn't the available depth, most of that bend would be protruding past the tiles as there is only 50mm plus the plasterboard/tiles to play with.

Personally I would just fit a JG Speedfit elbow. Fitted correctly, it's not going to leak. Don't forget the inserts though.
