HOW TO INSTALL A CONCEALED TOILET CISTERN - Back To The Wall - Plumbing Tips

Being attached to a wood cabinet, how do you wash the toilet bowl now ? Silly idea

Don't think I've ever seen such a cluttered workspace. Couldn't cope working in that lot.

If u ever have a problem with leaks in the future does everything need to come back out the way it went in to get to the cistern. Thanks in advance people

If someone does plumbing long enough do they become unfunny, a shit singer, and just boring in general?

Thanks so much for this and other guides, after buying one of these as part of a bathroom suite and unpacking I had a WTF moment and was going to call a plumber but after watching this got it all done myself.

i fitted the same as what your doing here, and how you got the flush pipe to stay in the pan i dont know, i battled with a leak on it for ages, it just wouldnt stay in the back of the pan you push it in and after a few seconds it just pops out, i tried fairy etc and it just wasnt having any of it, in the end i used a stanley to trim the rubber rings down slightly and put about 3 tubes of silicone on the back end lol touch wood 3 years on and it hasnt leaked but still waiting for the day cause it just wasnt staying in, so if you have a tip you can reply with for my next one id be super grateful :p

Can the flush button be fitted on the top instead of the front

Donna kebab agrees 😂 nice one!

Hi in the bit you skipped over when you pushed everything back together and there was a leak how did you fix it? Just had the same happen!

Straight forward explanation. Thank you so much

How did you mount the toilet to the floor as there is no screw hole on the side of the toilet?

Your videos are very helpful bud. I wanted to see how you fixed the pan to the floor. My WC needs side entry fixings and I’ve tried fitting them twice now and the pan keeps lifting. I’m using the Rawl Plug side fixing kit but no matter how much I tighten it the pan still lifts. Any ideas?

This video is just what I'm looking for, but... you're speaking as if we have done this before and semi know what we're doing. What about the people who are learning from scratch? Also, you are speaking so so fast which means that it is impossible to follow if you are a novice. So disappointing as I would love to learn this.

I fitted one of these in my bathroom last year. Im now noticing alot of condensation on the black box, seen a few videos insulating the inside of their tanks.
Do i need to insulate the inside or could i just insulate the outside of it seen as its not on show?

Are there any advantages to this style toilet vs standard tank to bowl?

Pan connector into a pan connector? Not a good plan.

James what was the leak ? You seemed to have a perfect size flush pipe. My flush pipe installed by my plumber is dangling out with just the rubber washer helping the water to flow through to the pan and I need to change it to a longer size . Was the leak with the flush pipe where it joins the pan ? Thank you .

Thanks for the guide.
I managed to install sink and toilet vanity unit for the first time following what you had done. No leaks 👍

Thanks

Could you use a flexi pipe instead of solid pipe for the flush water?

Thanks for the advice and the tips

What size hole for the flusher?

Thanks so much for your videos, my last bit of plumbing was right at the beginning of the 80’s and, for some reason, I just decided to upgrade one of our bathrooms so your demos have been a great rehearsal. 🛁 🚽 🍾❤️

Exactly the video I need , got one of these toilets coming next week I’m planing to give a gonmyself

Can this unit go to a side outlet...thanks

That's about the worst install I've seen

Great Vid, I notice you've put a small soil pipe attached to the flex - is this safe? I've just done the same and am scared about and leaks. Did you jubilee clip it?

Do they call you Donner kebab 😅😅

Two pan connectors joined together?
Oh dear James....what's the world coming too.
Holdtite!

Great advice and really clear demonstration. Cheers me dear!
Ps. If I'm not mistaken, that looks suspiciously like the Wickes vanity unit I'm about to install.
Fingers crossed..... 🤞

Great stuff, you surely spend a lot of time on educatiing the poor :D Thanks!

Very helpful...
Thankyou.

hello ,,just a tought on marking out for the pan entry /exit ... everything came in a cardboard box , get a bit of the cardboard and push the back of the pan down hard on the card..you get an imprint and instant template .. cut it out and hold against the unit "tah dah " :)

Please please please 🙏 can you do a video on servicing one of these. Replacing parts and the like. Especially roper rhodes, which this one is yeah ??
Why does it seem like a guarded dark art ??!!......

I saw you put attachment at the toilet seat sewage waste outlet let me ask where can i buy that connector please
Thanks,
dindo

Ok. I messed up and pushed the pipe up too high in the cistern... the flush was stuck...
I then watched ur other video and manage to correct and fit it...

Thank you.

Although, I do think I cut the flush pipe a little too short.... il correct it shortly...

Great videos... ta

How do you open it if leaking please?

Once again excellent advice from someone who actually knows what they are doing, we have one of these built in units, I look at the toilet seat and wonder how we can change it as we cannot get to the fittings ?
Do we need to pull out the complete pan to get access, as the fitting holding the seat is not accessible?
Well done excellent presentation.

Thanks for a brilliant vid and tutorial!!

Waste of space

Good tutorial thanks. Did one today. Your editing makes this look like a much easier job than in reality.

Top tip: mock-up the cistern with fixing bracket to check the flush outlet is actually in the center of the cistern. I used a universal cistern, and only noticed after I'd fixed it to the wall that the bracket is not centred to the flush outlet (out by about 20mm to one side). Had to dismantle the whole thing and re-drill cistern bracket holes. Fuming!

Im watching this retrospectively.... I have a small leak, I think its from the flush pipe into the pan. I see you had a leak on the initial test. What do you do to overcome this?

Can I install a bidet sprayer on this type of concealed cistern loo? Thanks

Where do the screws go, they are horizontal.

Thank you so much 🎉🎉
Massive help wahoo

Wtf does the toilet screw into tho 😂 do I have to fix wood to the floor?

Stopped listening after just five seconds.
