lateral thinking required on re-siting loo
 

Help!

I'm wanting to rejig the back of r rouse, and there's a toilet I want
to keep on the ground floor. The main problem is that the toilet
currently is hooked directly into a hole in the floor which evidently
goes to a drain that hooks up with the sewer, as opposed to
disappearing through the wall into a soil pipe.

The big nuisance is that this hole in the floor in about 12inches from
the back wall, which means the whole toilet is much further into the
small floorspace than would otherwise be the case, which leaves no
room for putting a small handbasin in, other than squeezing it right
into a corner, which would make manouevering to sit on the toilet
awkard.

I spose some digging up of the floor etc could relocate the plumbing,
but I was wondering if there is something I hadn't thought of that
could get around this.

Things like as there's a high level cistern, a sink could be put in
where the normal level cistern is, and it could somehow swing out for
people to wash their hands after sitting on t'karzi. Or a toilet bowl
that somehow has the s-bend out the front of the toilet, so that the
main toilet could push further back against the wall.

I think the traditional French pan has a hole in the centre rather than
towards the back, and it's supposed to be so much healthier squatting.

Have you the room the move it sideways and back and then use a combination
of multiquicks in series to connect to the hole in the floor?
i.e. move it 'laterally'!!

U.S pans have the oulet underneath the pan and sit on a vertical soil
pipe with a wax sealing ring, now where to get an American toilet ?

I wonder if you can fit one in the overhead luggage rack?

Wouldn't it be a bit uncomfortable using it up there? g

Plenty of UK pans go 'straight down'

In Japan I believe a combination low level cistern & sink is a standard
item.
