Back to wall closed couple toilet

Every day is a learning curve of the good, the bad & the ugly! lol

The worst pans are the ones with a cast lip under the outlet you have to lift it over brackets and insert into pan connector all in one. I also find they never hold firm on those brackets

Brackets are useless and don't seem to stop the pan being twisted sideways.
I rely on bead of silicone to bond pan to tiled floor

Think of me then where the pan connector isn`t solid but thin flimsy rubber held on to the pan spigot with a 110mm jubilee clip, situations where I can often be heard swearing.

I must confess this, - I have done at least one pan install by simply fixing the brackets to the pan and putting blobs of Tec7 on tiled floor on exact spots where brackets going.
Probably more than strong enough. Some of them pans are so big, they don't need much to keep them in place. :smile:
But I do silicone the pan edge to tiles.

I`ve got to remove one of the biggest back to wall pans I`ve ever seen on Monday, know it`s got silicone around the base and have no idea what`s underneath !!!!!!!!!

I just hate these back to wall type with a macerator behind and all nicely boxed in out of sight, all looks pretty but causes me big headaches.

Just looked at paperwork since 1st post and I`ve got 2 of the beggers Monday.

Also, try and keep the nylon brackets at room temp or warm them slightly if cold
Have had a couple snap whilst tightening screws though side of pan due to being cold and brittle

Temporarily screw the brackets into the pan so they're a couple of mm proud (i.e. so they will touch the floor before the pan does), put double sided tape on the surface that will meet the floor.
Place pan in position, unscrew brackets from pan, remove pan.
Hey presto, the brackets are exactly where they need to be
