Moving toilet.

Faze11

Hi all

Looking to move a toilet in our downstairs bathroom and wondering what I need to do it. Not looking to dig up group just move 2 feet to the right. What type of connectors do I need and is there anything I need to consider. Will be boxing off pipe so it's OK that it will be above ground. Any advice appreciated.

Not a plumber....but until the professionals on here come along, you will need something like a Floplast SP103 - it's a flexible 90 degree connections that fits on to your pan, a short length of 4'' sewer pipe from this fitting with a standard 90 degree bend at the other end to connect sewer pipe into where the existing pipe protrudes form the floor. Consider fitting a bend with a cleaning eye here in case of blockages which is likely to occur occasionally due the number of bends.

Assuming that the pipe work is copper, to extend the water supply, you'll need 30 inches of half inch copper pipe and two 90 degree half inch brass compression fittings. (If running pipe along wall and out to cistern) You should be able to reuse the existing fittings to connect to cistern.

You are going to have one hell of a deep boxed ledge to cover the sewer pipe where it comes out of the floor. Unless you are ok with that I think it's going to like awful, to put it nicely
Given the small area of bathroom floor tiles, if it was my job, I'd rip up the floor and do all the changes under the floor and re-tile the floor for a much better and tidier finish.

As above , boxing off will look terrible and you will regret it down the line. Give yourself a clean finish and dig up the floor move it correctly and tile again afterwards.

It's only 2 tiles to remove, if you could get same ones happy days if not it's not a crazy amount to replace, yes they are big but as above boxing that and leaving floor outlet where is will look terrible.
