Soil pipe from toilet vertically down, and not horizontal

Possom1

I have a 1930s toilet which was in an outside shed at my house, but I was thinking of moving it to the main 1st floor bathroom.

The soil pipe is in the same configuration as the one shown in the link, that is, it goes out and down into the ground and not simply straight out.

Would it be any more difficult to install this type of loo due to this configuration of soil pipe?

A new hole will have to be made in the wall in any case as I'm going to have the location of the toilet moved within the bathroom.

You may be able to use that if you can get your pipework into the first floor void.
Is it a timber floor? If so and if joists are running the right direction it would be easy. If joists are in the way, it would need to be looked at.

The joists are running out the correct way so they wouldn't need to be sawn.

I wonder if a 1930s porcelain toilet would have any more limescale issues than a modern one?

Or if it would be less effective at flushing away solids than a modern toilet?

Though I'd probably get a new high level cistern to replace the black plastic high level cistern one it currently has.

Some of the older black cisterns (e.g Shires Lynx) are made with asbestos and are best removed without breaking them up.

I didn't know that. Thanks for the link.

You can get them new in that style with the pipe coming out the back

way less hassle to install, way easier to unblock if it ever got clogged

Just out of curiosity, why is the new toilet in that style easier to install or unblock than an old one in the same style?

Everything is above floor level, just unscrew it from the floor and its all there in front of you
