How to fit a back to wall toilet

[@shaneford562]

Very informative and nice to see it being done from start to finish without skipping bits! Thanks for all your diy videos, they have helped me so much with all the jobs i needed doing in my flat without needing a tradesman for help :) Appreciate it. Keep up the fine work. Regards

[@ultimatehandyman]

+Shane Ford You are welcome. Thanks for the comment

[@bigskypictures]

Thanks for your videos, just one thing I'd like to point out. At 00:58 you fit a 90 degree service valve which is a good step, however, once the cistern is in the wall unit there is no room to get a screwdriver in if the service valve ever needed to be closed off. It would have been better to fit a straight service valve further down the feed pipe (with the isolator screw facing towards the front) Access to the service valve would then be quite easy and not restricted by the side of the cabinet. Apart from that, another good video.

Hi, Just wanted to say a very big THANKS for your video !! My toilet and cistern didn't come with any meaningful instructions and I'm not a plumber. Your vid gave me all the information I needed to tackle the job. Cheers :-)

[@rhatid]

I have a jiggly base unit, teenage boys six foot four will do that to your toilet furniture, but now i have an idea of how the base unit may be secured to the floor. It was a mystery to me, but what would an economist know, however now I shall have a go at that before the whole thing slide across the floor. Another great video! Really useful. Thx!

[@willb2520]

Brilliant mate, thanks. A "plumber" has fitted a toilet like this but just used sealant to fix it to the floor....I kid you not. Of course, it is moving all over the place + Of course they won't respond to calls, I can now get the 2 L brackets and do it myself, it's hard to buy the L brackets in OZ, but I'l get them on eBay. The tip with the tape for positioning is going to save me some time! I am pretty good with these things but probably would not have thought of that. Thanks again!

[@ultimatehandyman]

[@chrisduffy76]

I brought a new vanity bathroom suite off Ebay but it did not come with any instructions or fixings, I did not have a clue how to fit the toilet as the holes for the screws were at the side, and not down into the floor as I would have expected Your Video helped me so much cheers mate

[@ultimatehandyman]

I'm glad the video helped ;-) Thanks for the comment

[@TheTomplum]

@ultimatehandyman I've encountered that problem too,its usually the grease or silicone spray that allowing the pan connector to slide off, So what I do is take the grease off with meths or terps dry it off and just use a little water to lubricate the spigot, those long flexi pan connectors are notorious for sliding off, so I fit a clip from the pan connector to some timber fixed to the floor, I like that tip with the double sided tape to get the position of the pan fixings , :-)

Absolutely great incite on how to do it. Being a novice it, it made it possible to do it yourself

[@Garciamrcool]

you dont have to do that with the brackets. You can simply make pencil marks below the screw holes when the pan is in place then measure in. Much simpler and quicker.

[@stephenc4161]

Very good simple idea to locate plastic angle brackets to floor ....thank you thank you thank you. I didn't think of that.

[@ultimatehandyman]

Glad it was helpful 👍

[@bertbox69]

great trick wish I'd known. I just pushed the bog back to wall(close coupled), lined up steel ruler with centers of holes on side of pan, measured width of pan wall then heaved pan back out of way drilled and fixed to floor at the width of pan foot then heaved it back again and voila. The L shape brackets should have multiple holes so the screw will find at least one of them. These new bogs are so damn heavy, unless you have an earthquake,they ain't going anywhere, especially with a cistern full of water too !!

Liked the idea about the double-sided tape! Just been looking at purchasing a back-to-the-wall toilet that sits fully-flush against the wall. On reflection they look like a pig to fit, particularly if the soil pipe comes out of the floor and not the wall! May have to rethink this one.

did you try the trick of the trade to get it on?? use some washing up liquid just a couple of drops and rub around the pan hole and it should slide on smoothly without it popping back out or cant push it in.

No, I was told not to use any lubricant, as it can slip off a few months down the line. Thanks for the comment 👍

[@timothyjury]

Your videos are fantastic, particularly because I am refurbishing a bathroom of similar age tot he one you are working on in the videos At 12.37 you don't show the fitting of the flexible pan connector, however I can just see you have connected it to the waste pipe by bending it through 90 degrees. Please confirm the following: 1. That flexible pan connectors can be used to make a 90 degree bend directly out of the toilet. 2. please clarify whether I need to weld a socket onto the end of the soil pipe before inserting the other end of the flexible pan connector. Thanks for your help.

[@ultimatehandyman]

Yes, you can bend the flexible pan connectors as long as the bend is a sweeping bend and not too severe, there must also be a slight fall on it. The flexible pan connector will not fit in a socket as the socket is too big, you need to connect it to the soil pipe or you need to cut a piece of soil pipe to fit in the socket first

[@emanalbar]

thanks Mr. Handyman. Very nice video.

[@shaun2049]

Good video you need to use diamond bit to go though floor if they are porcelain tiles a masonry bit will not do it also you can use the diamond bit to cut through to fix flush level with timber not sticking out good tips on other stuff though

[@ultimatehandyman]

Thanks for the comment

[@mattjackson2181]

Really helpful, thanks very much. Just 1 question - what are the best screws to use to fix the pan to the floor? I have exactly the same toilet as the 2nd one in your demonstration, but not sure how best to fix it to the floor. Also, is it worth fixing the pan to the unit behind as well?

[@ultimatehandyman]

The pan should only need fixing to the floor, once it's fixed it should not move. Rustproof screws are best in a bathroom such as Screwfix's Turbogold XT screws or similar as these will not rust but normal wood screws can be used.

[@74quo]

Hi found your video helpful as i bought the same system as you and i have the same problem with the waste pipe springing back,didnt know it was a fault with the wc pan,looks like i will have to buy another one.thanks

[@ultimatehandyman]

Apparently these toilets where the waste connector springs off from the spigot are made for countries where they cement them in, such as Spain etc. Thanks for the comment

Hi,Thanks for that. now i have the pan out of the way i have a blockage,i have tried one shot,rods,wire coat hanger none seem to work any suggestions. Regards

[@romandarko2415]

another good video. In my case I want to install a COUPLED back to wall toilet system. The current toilet has a swan neck outlet to a waste pipe which is flush with the floor. However I cannot figure out how to fit a swan neck pan connector to the outlet on the toilet if i cannot physically get to it as it is a back to wall model? If the connector hasn’t got a securing bolt, how can I push fit the toilet outlet onto the connector without it dislodging itself from the waste pipe in the floor? Or is there another technique that I am not aware of? I hope i have explained this well(??)

Hi. I know it's been a while since you've done this job . I think iv had this bathroom suite for as long. Anyhoo. I'm looking to get it done soon and was just checking it was mostly all intact . Only thing is not sure about the over flow pipe. Do I connect to either one of the two holes on the plastic cistern? Thanks Rob.

[@ultimatehandyman]

It's been a while, since I installed this. One hole is normally for the water inlet and the other is for the overflow (obviously the large hole is for the flush pipe). 👍

[@bobbyedal2737]

@@ultimatehandyman hi. Thanks for the reply. After I asked you for advice I have since been informed that this type of fitting, or at least the one I have, doesn't require an outside over flow as it has one built in , which if required , runs the excess water directly into the into the toilet bowl. So as long as that isn't blocked then all should be well. Might just fit the outside one to be safe 🙂,,, thanks again for your help. Rob

[@civictyper45]

Top video dude now am worried my eBay toilet may have a faulty pan waste are toilets known for this?

I have no idea, as they came with the unit, but perhaps you could use "button fix" They make several different types of concealed clips, example here- fave.co/3mCNcOF

[@Billy_Bull_Sheeter]

Can you use silicon only to fit the base to the floor, without using the brackets, if you've screwed the cistern to the wall.

[@ultimatehandyman]

I'd screw it down to be honest. The cistern is only connected to the toilet via the flush pipe - it does nothing to support the toilet.

[@Billy_Bull_Sheeter]

@@ultimatehandyman the one I have is bolted to the cistern. Reason I was asking is that I have underfloor heating. I guess I will have to move the heating element so I can screw the toilet into the ground. I am going to tile the floor next week so I can move it before I tile.

[@ultimatehandyman]

@@Billy_Bull_Sheeter If it's bolted to the cistern, silicone should be fine to hold it down. But this video shows a back to wall toilet being installed, which is only connected to the cistern using a flimsy pipe (which is why I recommended screwing it down) 👍

[@Billy_Bull_Sheeter]

@@ultimatehandyman thanks for the advice. I've moved the underfloor heating wire to allow me to screw it down just incase. 👍

I need to shorten the flush pipe on the cistern end, will this effect the flush at all? Many thanks!

It's common to have to shorten the flush pipe, it should not make much difference to the flush.

[@paulhowie2406]

Hi, great video, the pipe that you connected to the bottom of the flush valve does that come with the kit with the toilet? And how do you know what height to position the cistern so the pipe is same height as the inlet at the back of the toilet?

[@edwarddevon5499]

Hi. I have watched loads of videos on here now because we have just moved into a house with a back to the wall toilet in ground floor loo and it leaks at the basin when it gets flushed. When I flushed the loo it filled with water and took ages for it to go down so I plungerd it. Water appeared all over the toilet floor. Because its a closed in loo I cant see where its leaking. I can assume that its the flexible multi fit that must have somehow come away when I plungered it. (at this stage I must tell you that I'm NOT a plumber, I'm a handyman in a nursing home). Now when I flush the toiled water floods out all around the basin at the very bottom. Could this be because of the force of me plungering it? And if it is, to get the pan out I'm going to have have to take the cistern off first aren't I? That means turning the water off... then taking it off, removing the pan... am I on the right tracks? Please give me your opinion. Thanks, Ed.

[@ultimatehandyman]

You need to remove the facia panels to be able to see the back of the toilet pan. Some of the toilet flexible pan connectors are a real pain in the backside. When I first installed this I bought a toilet from ebay and it turned out that it was European. When I installed it using a flexible pan connector there was no way it would seal and every few hours it crept and slipped off from the spigot. In the end I had to buy another toilet, which was much easier to get a good seal. If a flexi toilet pan connector has been used there is a chance that it has been disturbed with the force of plunging it. A mate of mine who is a plumber told me to install it, then cut some blocks of wood to support underneath it, because they can start to sag over time, which eventually makes the flexi pull away from the spigot. I'm sure I also cut some lengths of 2*1 timber and jammed them between the wall and the lip on the flexi connector, then used cable tiles to hold them in place, it is impossible for the flexi to be removed from the spigot without removing the timber first. You should not need to remove the cistern to do any of this, providing you can remove the panels behind the toilet. I'm off to work now Ed, but if you need any advice the guys in the forum are normally helpful- www.ultimatehandyman.co.uk/forum1/plumbing-forum-f8.html Best of luck with it ;-)

[@edwarddevon5499]

Thank you very much for replying to my email. I really appreciate it. I will try to remove the panels but who ever it was who installed it nailed it together and then sealed it shut even more by tiling over it. I'm sure I will get it off. I'll let you know how I get on and thank you once again for your help. Cheers mate Ed.

[@bengaliTq]

Hello! HandyMan. A question is bothering me! I was abroad on holiday and came across a unique classy toilet in the hotel. It has a silent flush and then the water comes from the bottom to fill up again. You have any idea what this type of cistern is called and if they do this in the uk??

[@voodoomotion5855]

Great tutorial! taping the brackets is a nifty method ;) Was the spigot on the new toilet glazed or rough? I had similar problem because the spigot was glazed so the flexi pipe wouldn't grip and kept popping off! Was going to build a framework to press up against the pipe edge but realised the toilet had a hairline crack in the u-bend and was leaking! Bought a new design and the spigot had a rough unglazed outer edge, was difficult to get on even with lubricant but so far has held for a few days - do you think it's safe? Best wishes mate, keep up the great work!

[@ultimatehandyman]

It was glazed, apparently a few plumbers in my forum said it was a European import and that they are designed to be cemented it. I got a new toilet in the end (not sure if I mentioned that in the video) Thanks for the comment

On this toilet they are simply inserted from the top and then tightened using a screwdriver, there is a plastic insert which expands when the screw is tightened.

[@taylortwocities3891]

One big thing I noticed, and you may want to add a warning. In the video, when you set the WC to the panel, and marked the height (before you cut the panel) the WC was still standing on the spare bit of bath panel that you slid the toilet around on. If anyone does this then, when the WC is eventually screwed to the FLOOR, it will be lower than the original marks. This could have awful consequences its likely that the cut out will then be visible!!

[@ultimatehandyman]

The piece of bath panel is less than 1mm thick! Thanks for the comment 👍

***** Well the battle with the toilet was won by me yesterday lol, just had enough pipe sticking threw the wall to get the pipe seated back into the toilet pan, thank god lol. one question I always thought there was just one size of pipe used from the tank to the toilet, which I thought was 40mm but this one has 50mm, what size pipe would you say you find on toilets the most ?
