Default How to fix down ridiculous design WC pan


"Kalico" wrote in message
...
I'm trying to fix down a new WC pan to a wooden floor.

Normally, one would screw straight down (or at a slight angle with
long screws) into the floorboards to hold the thing steady.

However, the design of this one is such that I can only get a screw in
horzintally (ie parallel to the floor) since the holes are in the
sides of the pan.

It came with no special fixing kit and I've managed to get the bidet
fixed by making a wooden bracket but cannot do the same with the WC
pan due to the bend itself.

Is there a kit I can buy or any other tips you have for getting this
damn thing to fix. I'm at my wits end with it.

Natually, I have tried silicon round the base but this is not ideal.

Thanks.
Rob


Mine came with a steel bracket (U shaped) the legs of the U being approx 2
ins high having loose captive nuts towards the top to take special machine
screws which are screwed in through the horisontal holes in the toilet pan.
The bottom of the U was the same width as the internal dimenson between the
horisontal holes in the pan.
The steel bracket is screwed down to the wooden floor according to the
instuctions and template that came with it. I can copy the instuctions which
has a picture of bracket and email it to you if it helps.
