can anyone tell me the difference between left hand and right hand toilet. i don't know the difference
 
assuming its the side the handle is on most are now push button though and the older ones you could change over
hi thanks for replying its a push button but is a corner toilet so still unsure it doesn't mean the side of the bathroom its going on i hope coz ive ordered it lol
 
Had them for where they designed to fit in left hand corner for bath suite

Did one last week and the fill valve was on the left (most cisterns fill on the right) Maybe that's what it means. No reason why it wont fit in any corner you want
 
After I've spent half hour reading The Sun, there's no need to wipe.....

Sorry, I've gone too far!
 
or it could be the direction the corner wc is faced/angled seeing as it is a corner appliance!
 
Hmm!

In the old days a Left or Right handed toilet pan meant the direction the outlet faced on a "P" trap pan. In those days Multi Kwiks and the likes where not about and the pan outlet spigot direction was cast as part of the pan.

As to the cistern they are usually converted left or right as you want by changing the innards around.

Its is unusual to be asked if you want a Left or Right handed toilet now days though. Its usually a straight "P" trap outlet and you use a bent Multi Kwik to change direction. Be interested to find out what Left or Right hand means now though.
 
We had 18 years of right hand toilets, then 13 years of left hand toilets, and now we're 9 months into straight toilets ... I think I've lowered the tone more than enough ...
