Pocster Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 (edited) Ok ! I’m nearing the point I need to start planning and doing this . I’ve deliberately left gaps in my screed for a flush with finished floor shower . My assumption was to treat the bathroom like a wet room I.e water proof it to the same level even though it’s not a wet room . Currently don’t know the shower enclosure we will have but assume it will just be a glass panel from floor up to ceiling . One question is how do these attach to the floor ? - some special slot fixing that gets embedded in the floor before tiling ? I’m not looking to create another @Onoff bathroom thread - tons of useful info in there but the bibles a shorter read ??

Pocster Posted August 18, 2019 Author Share Posted August 18, 2019 Another question ! We haven’t chose our bath yet . I do like the solid ones - no legs ; the base sits in the floor . With those - how do you access the waste and tap feeds ? . From photos doesn’t look any obvious way . Like this one for example. https://www.drench.co.uk/drench-ellie-acrylic-white-freestanding-bath-1700-x-800mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like this one for example. https://www.drench.co.uk/drench-ellie-acrylic-white-freestanding-bath-1700-x-800mm We have a bath of a similar design but a different make. The manufacturers way of dealing with the waste is to supply you with a flexible waste hose fitting. you stand the bath up off the floor slightly on blocks, connect the flexi waste, then remove the blocks lower the bath onto the floor and slide it into it's mounting clips. I hated that idea. So No 1 decision was avoid any need for the bath to ever need to come out. So that meant floor standing bath filler (as in your link) and a pop up top access waste fitting that can be serviced and cleaned from above. AVOID any kind of waste that has a mechanism to raise the waste by rotating the overflow. Such a mechanism is prone to failure and would give you a reason to have to lift the bath out to fix it. So having made the bath a "one time" fit. I then attached a stub of solid 40mm waste to the trap with a suitable hole already cut in the floor, and lowered the bath into it's surround. then connected that stub of solid waste from below which happens to be in the utility room. That room is plasterboarded and painted now but very worst case I could cut a trap in the ceiling if my plan fails and some unforeseen reason means I do have to remove the bath in the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onoff Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Ref fitting the screen to the floor, @Nickfromwales says: I would add, again on Nick's advice, to leave the CT1 to set for 72 hrs. Saying that only on the basis of when I did my wall hung WC and I've CT1 there behind the pan, backing up the securing bolts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 Looking at the myriad of geberit in wall dual flush cistern and plates . Who would of thought choosing the cistern might be more work than the actual toilet . Assume I should build my ‘false’ wall and get this in situ along with presumably wall hung sink .

Onoff Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 As a bit of an aside I half considered this: https://www.gumtree.com/p/plumbing-central-heating/geberit-wall-hung-toilet-frames-x2-/1351844522 But tbh you couldn't get the missing bits and keep under a £100 each frame.

H114 doesnt have thd odour extract facility to connect to your MVHR I don't think unless you diy it like Jeremy and now I have.

Onoff Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 See the flush pipe comes up to the cistern, it branches off to the right at an angle. Until you flush the vertical pipe is empty to the pan so can suck up any nasty niffs. That angled pipe links to your extract: Whereas the 8cm one lacks the angled take off pipe: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
