I know i have to either get the S trap or P trap system (or a universal one), but now i'm confused on an issue. Want to get a closed to wall/close coupled system to stop having to clean in behind damn thing, but curious as to how this works with existing floor levels/tiles. Am I right in thinking if we replace with a toilet that effectively has a larger base/foundation then it will just sit on the existing tiles and there is no issue? Or are we going to run into an issue I haven't thought of as I'm no plumber? Thanks Re: Chaning a Toilet Confusion 4Jun 15, 2015 1:35 pm They usually tile under the toilet first prior to installation so there should be no foot print issue. S trap toilets go through the floor and P traps go out through the wall (mainly units). Masters have a flush to wall toilet that looks good and is comfortable for 289, worked well for us. If you need to level it up should only be a little bit and most plumbers today just silicong them in rather than old style of concrete bed. Re: Chaning a Toilet Confusion 5Jun 15, 2015 3:28 pm You need to know what model your existing toilet is then download the pdf of it from the manufacturer which will give you the offset from the wall ( S-trap through the floor ) or height from the floor ( P-trap through the wall ). Once you have that you can go to one of the plumbing shops like Reece and ask them which models would be compatible with your existing plumbing. Bear in mind your cistern requirements as well. Stewie Re: Chaning a Toilet Confusion 6Jul 19, 2015 10:27 pm I did this a while ago, the old plastic cistern was perishing and with two young boys cleaning behind was becoming an issue Got the measurements, picked a loo, then found a couple of hiccups during installation. Had to remove the tile border on the wall to get the loo to fit flush against the wall, with no gap. The bigger issue was the tap for the fill was in the wrong position, down and outside the new loo so there was no way of getting the fill pipe inside the new cistern. Fortunately the solution wasn't too hard. Purchased a right angle joiner and a flexible pipe and ran the filler back into the wall, the out and into the cistern from a new hole in the wall. Probably not 100% kosher as far a plumbing standards, but it worked fine. Hi All, see above image.
