    Default Toilet backing onto a wall with a cavity slider?

    Hello.

    We're in the midst of planning an extension and I have a question about toilets.

    I want to put a toilet on a wall that will have a cavity slider...is that possible or will I have issues with the door hitting pipes, etc as it slides in?

    I've attached a pic of the position of the toilet relative to the door.

    Thanks heaps.

    There will be no room within the wall for any service so water and waste will have to come up through the floor, and it will be best to use a close coupled toilet suite as you have shown so the cistern bolts to the pan which will

    negate the need for fixings to go into the wall to hold the cistern.

    That's what I was thinking...but every close coupled toilet we choose (from the Reece website for example) shows the water connection going into the wall (rather than the floor) - they all have tech documents that show the detail.

    Can a plumber just change this when installing so it all just goes into the floor?

    Here is the first one I pulled up on Reece site and it shows bottom inlet.Caroma Milan BTW Close Coupled Toilet Suite | Reece Bathroom Products

    Visit the store, there will be more.

    I don't like water services exposed from the floor but you don't seem to have much choice.

    Yep I saw that one. Page 2 (attached) shows one line going into the floor and one into the wall? I can't tell if that just shows the P vs S trap options or if one if water and one is waste?

    Thanks for your help/time here too mate. I'm aware that it may be a pretty newbie question...but I can't find any info on google about it.

    Left pic shows 244 inlet or overflow out the bottom ie inlet one side, overflow the other or visa versa and/or the overflow is usually blocked off.

    Then if you open the link you will read available s trap(floor outlet) or p trap(wall outlet) also available back inlet which you cannot use unless you can make the wall wider ie instead of 70 mm stud you would probably

    need 120 minimum for nogging and water service. In the right pic the dotted u section is the p trap outlet and 185 is centre off floor.

    Another way if you want the water service back inlet and not seen is to box out just the area behind the toilet by 35mm or more but again, not my choice.
