I am remodeling a very small bath room next to the pool, and therefore I
want to do something that takes up as little space as possible. There will
be a walk in shower, a sink and a toilet.

I am thinking of using a wall hung sink and a wall hung toilet, this way the
foot print is minimize (even eliminated) and will look cleaner.

I think the wall hung toilet will work, I just need to frame a 4x6 behind
the wall at the location where I intend to mount it and it should work.

I am worried about the wall hung toilet - I have rarely seen it in
residential applications, I know part of the waste line has to be inside the
wall, and since the wall is all exposed now I can do whatever I need to. I
assume I need to also move the drain opening from the floor to directly
under the wall, but what do I need to do to ensure it does not fall out
after some time? If a 300 pound man sits on it and strain...will it fall
out?

What is the strongest way to secure it? There seem to be a practical limit
on how secure it really could be if the mounting surface is ceramic...it
seems.

Residential application for wall hung toilet
http://clicktoremodel.com/100_6362.JPG

I remodeled this bathroom 4 yrs ago. and installed the "Porcher" wall
mount toilet.
my tip to you is:
make sure the bolts that support the toilet are level before closing up
the wall.
the steel carriage fit into a 2x4 wall but the waste pipe needed a 2x6
wall.
sound proof the wall it is in because it echoes everywhere in the wall
when flushed.

the neatest part was the air switch we mounted on the side wall (no
more reaching behind you to flush)
