Wall-hung toilet pan question
We're thinking about a wall hung loo for our small cloakroom and looking at
using a frame like this. http://www.victorianplumbing.co.uk/c...ung-frame.aspx Are wall hung pans standardised in terms of mounting bolt points, flush pipe and soil pipe positioning? Can i order one from anywhere and be confident that it'll fit? Tim |

Wall-hung toilet pan question
Mmm not sure anyone would guarantee that... The frame I fitted (gerberit iirc) adjusted in many ways, to fit a separately bought pan. I remember checking tech drawings etc before committing but the frame was an eBay bargain so I took the plunge!

As a general rule they seem to be standard - however I would not rule out there being more than one standard out there! -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

It makes no engineering sense whatsoever. Fifteen stone cantilevered off a wall when mere inches below there's a floor. Cheers -- Syd |

If using a frame then the frame has legs on the floor behind the wall, so the load is spread between wall and floor. The advantage is that it is easy to clean the whole floor. |

The load will try to rotate around the lowest fixing point or support. |

Not to mention a very "minimalist" visual effect with no visible cistern or plumbing. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

Can i order one from anywhere and be confident that it'll fit? I can't answer your question, but I have one of my own. I've got two. Why on earth would anyone want a wall-hung toilet? Because it makes it a hell of a lot easier to sweep the floor in there. It makes no engineering sense whatsoever. Its trivially easy to do. Fifteen stone cantilevered off a wall when mere inches below there's a floor. Because it makes it much easier to clean the floor. I did the same thing with the kitchen bench too, cantilevered that off the wall so I can just slide in the dishwasher, cupboards, bar fridge sized small freezers etc under that and have that area completely flexible. That allowed me to have two dishwasher etc trivially when I wanted to do that. That bench is 20 feet long, entirely cantilevered with no legs at all anywhere. No supports that get in the way of what is under it either. The whole thing is made of 38mm welded square tube in a rectangular frame dynabolted to the concrete block walls. which are in a U there with the bench filling the entire space between the verticals of the U. There is nothing below the RHS frame at all so I can do anything I like below it with complete flexibility. |

Nothing on the wall at all. so the load is spread between wall and floor. The advantage is that it is easy to clean the whole floor. Yeah, leaves the other approach for dead cleaning wise. |
