Replacing a low level cistern for close coupled

[PriestyUK]

Anyone come across a close coupled toilet that gets you over this problem yet,? without having to pull up the floor and relocate the soil pipe or build a pointless boxings behind the toilet. In this case I want to be able to get the pan as far back as poss.

PS If anyone wants the pink pan and pink pedestal basin its yours 😀 once i've removed it of course (One old lady owner, high mileage though lol)

Cheers guys

I doubt you'll get one to accommodate that but worth popping into your merchant with the measurements to see what they can come up with.

I normally quote a like for like replacement in this situation ! Close coupled stuff is over rated anyway! Looks awful with that 4 inch batten behind loo too

dig up the drain and move it back simples

What about this;

order code AR1145WH for pan only

another option to get a close coupled loo further back is to use a swan neck soil fitting like thishttp://cdn.toolstation.com/images/130125-UK/images/library/stock/webbig/23824.jpg?rand=388030689

Why not build a duct, install a concealed cistern and a back to wall pan.

Found one that I think is going to work, will leave me with only a 30mm gap which I dont think will be that bad. What you think guys?

I currently have 245mm from wall to centre of soil pipe. I also like the pan connector kit that also stops it blowing off the back of the pan 😀

a 30mm gap at the back wont look bad at all personally I would cut 2 pieces of 15mm chrome to use as spacers and screw straight through the centre of them providing the loo is drilled for cistern fixings, I prefer 2 pieces of chrome pipe rather using timber or tiles personally I think it looks tidier but everyone has there own way and after all the customer is the one who has to see it everyday so its them that has to be happy with it
