One Piece Toilets
Hello All
I'm on the search for a new WC and have come across a one piece toilet. Anyone have any experience with these? I'm assuming here that fitment would be a lot easier negating the need for copious amounts of silicone. Sounds like an easy option to me and looks pretty slick too. Advice, comments TIA Cheers Richard |

Is this the sort of thing that's intended to be used in caravans and
boats? I think he means the type with the cistern and pan made from the same moulding. What's with this "copious amounts of silicone"? I've fitted several close-coupled toilets over the years - and have never used *any* silicone! Lucky you! The sealing plugs must have actually stopped the water leaking out, which not everyone finds to be the case! Christian. |

I've fitted half a dozen close coupled loos over the past few years, zero silicone, zero leaks. -- Grunff |

Close coupled toilets have a bungy doughnut affair to seal between the cistern and the pan. It's always best to replace these if you have to remove the cistern for any reason - because they get compressed, and don't seal as well next time. -- Cheers, Set Square ______ Please reply to newsgroup.

There doesn't seem to be any differences in the plumbing to and from them, so they should be fine to use like any other loo system. They're just a cistern permanently attached to the loo bowl after all. :-) |

Mine have always had a bit of movement there due to the doughnut mike |

In fact, they sit quite well on a level floor by themselves. A big Vitreous China chair really. :-) |
