    Hi.

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

    The cost is beyond my control.



    GSR.

    never seen those CH, but if you look at the pan it's no diff to a normal pan all they have done is fill in the back of the pan, plus the diamentions are no diff to a normal c/c pan & cistern so surely a normal one with a bent multi is gonna be the same ?, ideal space is about the smallest i've seen
    I'm only here while I wait for Corrie to start.

    You get no BS from me & if I think you are wrong I WILL tell you.

    I have something similar in my downstairs toilet OP. Unfortunately the brand name is printed right round the back, I'll try to read it with a mirror tomorrow.

    an s trap pan is just a p trap with a bent multi or a question mark multi, plus i've never seen a c/c one ie as per your link that is low level which means the pan is gonna stick even further out into the room & as someone else pointed out space is at a min

    Will you spend a penny on it?

    Hi.

    The OP asked for a bottom outlet wc. The link I provided gave exactly that (albeit the UK version). Very useful when replacing a wc in a home with a solid floor and a low level wc with the soil connection 9" (ish) from the wall.

    Seeing as space is also a consideration then....

    AFAIK 600mm is the about smallest projection for a close coupled wc you will get. Such as the Tavistock Micra.

    Seems a little late to be looking for this kit the evening before works commence?

    Expected material costs also seem somewhat optimistic for such specific specs.

    Ask to see CIPHE (Chartered Institute of Plumbing & Heating Engineering)
  • Hopefully more than one ;)
  • The work on the bathroom doesn't start today, the extension the other side of the wall is currently being done, and the builders are working on the soil pipes today, so we need to have that bit sorted before Monday, when they start preparing the floor for the concrete on Tuesday.

    Spoke to the plumber and he's happy for it to come out of the floor and he'll pop a flexible swan neck on it. So at least it means we can get a less expensive toilet - I'm sorry but we just can't afford £100+ just for a toilet with no cistern!
