jameegray1 Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Hi guys. Re the Roca pan in the link below... how can a toilet be back-to-wall AND close-coupled? If this is installed into a standard cabinet does it need a special type of cistern or will any standard one do? https://www.uk.roca.com/products/vitreous-china-back-wall-close-coupled-wc-dual-outlet-347687..0?sku=A347687000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VickyBH Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 The product you posted in the link is a back to wall one and will need a cistern. Roca has a intank range which the toilet has inbuilt cistern. https://www.uk.roca.com/products/tank-toilets-069-1003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my limited experience... You need to plan ahead to get the waste and flush pipes at the right height. Remembering to allow for tiles/stone flooring. They also need supporting so they cannot move backwards because you are going to be pushing the WC into onto/into the pipes and it can take some force. Not huge force but if you don't allow for it the pipes may move back into the boxing so you can't get them connected. You don't want to discover this after you have done all your tiling and can't get access. Some cisterns are designed to be serviced through the flush button plate. These can be mounted either on the front face or the top of the cabinet/boxing. Others have remote operating buttons connected to the cisterns by air tubes. These allow the smaller buttons to be off to one side for example, but then you need to form an access panel to service the flush valve. You don't need a metal frame type unless you go for a wall mounted pan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
