Close coupled back to the wall toilet
I'm now shopping for a toilet.
I've seen ths sort: Not wall hung but the sort where the pan part goes back to the wall like this: http://www.victoriaplumb.com/Bathroo...-Seat_440.html With regards to installation do they present any additional problems compared to more convention c/c toilets? mark |

Would it make a difference assessibility if the seat has quick release hinges. I've no experience of such. mark |

They replied in essence: some of their back to the wall toilets would indeed need to be unplumbed but those with seats that have quick release bolts don't. mark |

What about the water supply, how does that get to the cistern? Perhaps they are back fed and the pipe goes up inside the wall which could be a bit tricky for me as my existing toilet has the water coming up through the floor and it's a brick wall. mark |

As for an exposed isolation valve....hmmmm. I assume the waste is just 'push' job done. mark |
