toilet inlet on wrong side

FunkyMunkey

Hi,

I've bought a new toilet and realised that the water inlet is on the wrong side. If I wanted to drill a new inlet hole on the correct side of the toilet, would I just use a normal ceramic tile drill bit? And if so, how would I block up the other hole?

Thanks!

Alter the plumbing/pipe to the correct side.;)

You would use a diamond tipped drill & you can buy a cap to cover the other hole.

But this is a really stupid idea & is totally inadvisable as it may break the cistern.

You should do what the other poster said & move the inlet pipe.


What about the overflow? Is it internal?

If not & that is on the wrong side I would change the cistern for the correct one.

Hmm, perhaps diplomacy isn't your strong point.

Anyway, thanks for the replies, I'll just bring the pipes around to the other side as suggested.

I guess it isn't. Hey ho.

IMHO, it'll be easier to re-route the pipes.....

It is a stupid idea. Re route the pipework.
