Advice please

I have just bought a new toilet that has the sides right back to the wall.My problem is that there is no hole for the water pipe to come out of the side.I do not really want to move the feed as it affects the floor so I thought that if I fitted an offset pan connector (40mm) so that it moved the pan over I could then either take the feed back to the wall cut slot in wall and then turn it back to the valve OR drill the side of the pan and bring it thro to the feed.As it is at the moment the feed water pipe is where the side of the pan is.Any help would be appreciated

go the ofset pan con route

Many thanks for that but what about the feed ? Would you drill the side of the pan to bring the feed in or back to the wall cut into the wall and back to the valve ?

no, do what there designed for and fit a flexi then slide back to wall and screw down.
is it a b&q one?.

No its not a B&Q one.I have perhaps not explained this very well so here goes.The wc has sides that go right back to the wall so that when in position you cannot see any pipes.I am going to have to fit a 40mm offset pan connector because if not the wc will not push right back because of the water supply coming up thro the floor gets in the way.
So we now have the scenario of the water supply being on the outside of the wc and the fitting to accept this on the inside.I am unable to move the supply without having to redo the floor so do I drill the side of the wc to take the supply thro or take the supply back to the wall and slot the rear edge to accept.

I would be very wary of drilling or cutting the pan, cutting a notch "may" be possible but once you start there is no going back, and it will look not nice. Can you not chase the pipe back into the wall and re route it to where you want it.

Thanks for all the advice and I will go for chasing the wall rather than drilling or notching the pan could be an expensive mistake
