Toilet with straight down pipe?

clutterbug_2

We are putting in a small WC under our stairs and we need the waste pipe to go straight down through the floor - like this:



But I can't seem to find an actual toilet that does this! They all have the pipe coming out the back

Can anyone help? I don't want to be spending a massive amound on a small toilet!

we had the same problem, we used a rak compact toilet with a swan neck connector see floplast section in screwfix/toolstation/b&q etc

any idea what part I'd need at floor level? The builders will have to put in the pipework to floor level tomorrow morning so I'm trying to get the things I'll need from B&Q this evening.

I think what you have there is an old style karzi, modern ones have the opening facing backwards. When my bathroom was redone, they had to move the soil pipe back. The cheesy solution is to have the toilet too far forwards.

hence the swan neck connector, we needed a small dummy wall (about 70mm) but the front of the pan was no further forward than the old toilet. B&Q won't have a rak pan it comes from proper sanitaryware suppliers not a shed.

also do small basins ideal for small spaces.

if the builders are putting a new pipe in why can't they put it close to the back wall ?, i've never seen a pan like that in 32 yrs

The clue is in the word "small" indicating a space issue.

I couldn't remember the part used to put in my own toilet but now I know thanks to ian103.

i read the OP post but if you look at the pic you will see the cistern is exactly the same as a modern c/c pan & cistern, so you won't save any space by fitting (if you can get one) a pan like that, the cistern still has to sit at the back of the pan

There is the issue of small space, but the main issue is that the on the other side of the wall is the kitchen and unfortunately against that wall is the ONLY place that the fridge can go. We don't have room for it to be set away from the wall to accommodate the pipe and aesthetically it wouldn't look good.

It's a pain in the backside to be honest, but there you go, it's the way it is. We really want a small WC under the stairs because we have two young boys (one soon to be potty trained) and saves making umpteen trips upstairs a day, but we want our dream kitchen.

Plumber coming to have a look at another plumbing job tomorrow so will ask him then.

Thanks for all your help, I think the swan neck thing may be the way to go.

How expensive are those Rak toilets! I was thinking something more along the lines of £50!

Hi.

To answer the question, bottom outlet wc suites are available (pun intended)

The cost is beyond my control.
