    What exactly do you mean by a "Recessed Toilet" ?
    Can you show a picture of what you looking to achieve?

    it is an builtin toilet.
    but the point is to understand what to do with the fouls pipe at the back when i am moving the toilet location sideways.

    Yes it can be moved, but what alterations to the pipework you will need will depend on the type of framework and wc you are using in order to get it in the new position.
    As everything is hidden behind the new enclosure, you may only need a long flexible waste pipe connector from the pan to the pipe in the ground and then extend the water supply pipe as well to the higher cistern location.

    Thank you. I will look into it when I get the frame I suppose.
