Default Installing a new lavatory

From the wall to the centre of the current ceramic waste is 25cm. Is
that some sort of standard dimension which means that any new loo will
abut the wall properly?


Also doing a bathroom and also have a high level loo with bottom outlet
that will be changed to a close coupled unit. I don't think there is any
standard, I did have a look through "The Blue Book"
http://www.thebluebook.co.uk (be warned it's fussy about browsers...) at
bottom outlet loos and they all appeared to have different wall to outlet
distances and that's from the same maker!

I've went for a horizontal outlet and resigned myself to the work
required to get soil plumbed. Then wandering around the builders
merchants (as you do) I saw a Hunterplastics S234. Second connector down
on http://database.hunterplastics.co.uk/groups?rangeno=21. This should
*just* sort my problem out. In theory the solid pan base overlaps the
pipe in the floor by 10mm, but the wall isn't tiled yet... It'll still be
tight but within acceptable ranges I hope.
