Hi Everyone
Just looking for some advice with this issue I have with a wall hung toilet I am adding to my bathroom. The problem I have is that when I set the ideal height of the toilet (410mm when sitting on toilet) and taking into account tiles and hardibacker (approx 30mm?), the waste pipe that was setup for my old toilet is going to be too low.
There are two options
I keep the frame where it is or swap it around with the basin frame. Swapping it around with the basin frame would allow me to use the original fall of the waste pipe but I may have to raise it 5mm or so to align so not sure if that is going to make the fall too much? At the moment with the current waste pipe the fall is approx. 38mm per metre. The current run of the grey waste pipe to the stack is only 1m and I would be adding another metre onto this pipe if it was to be extended.
The other option is to keep the frame where it is planned to go (first picture below) and work out a way of connecting the toilet connection to the waste system problem is i cannot lower the frame to meet the soil pipe as it will then mean the toilet will be sitting too low on the floor. At the moment it looks like I would have to raise the soil pipe another 10mm or so to get it to meet with the frame. Thats then going to increase the fall to 48mm per metre. Its only a 1.2 metre run to the stack so not sure if you can then 'get away' with a slightly higher fall...
If I do swap them around to make the connection of the waste to the toilet easier, then I will have to move the basin waste (you can see it behind the frame in the second photo). Another option is if i move the basin then I could put the basin waste into the soil pipe but not sure if you are allowed to do this? I would then just blank off the old basin waste coming out of the floor.
First picture shows the frame in the normal position showing the waste pipe alignment and the second photo shows where I could move the toilet to and have set up a rough position of the waste pipe from the frame to show how it would fit if i was to extend the waste pipe.
thanks!
