How To Install A Close Coupled Toilet

There are many different types of toilets, available however generally you can sort them into five different categories:

• Close Coupled – this is where the cistern is attached and sitting directly on top of the pan.
• Wall Hung – this arrangement is where the toilet pan is hung on the wall or on a piece of furniture.
• Back to Wall – the pan in this instance is sitting on the floor with the cistern concealed in the wall or inside a unit.
• Low Level – the cistern is mounted on the wall with an exposed pipe joining it to the pan which is sitting on the floor.
• High Level – this is a similar arrangement to the low level pan and cistern except that the cistern is mounted very high on the wall requiring a chain to flush.
