Toilet fitting with vertical waste

My toilet waste is in the floor
Can I buy any close coupled toilet and use flexible s trap connector

Replies from 5 tradespeople

Buy a dedicated S-trap (vertical/bottom outlet) toilet: Look for a true floor-mounted S-trap pan or a concealed bottom-outlet toilet (like specific traditional models from brands like Burlington) where the waste hole goes straight down through the ceramic foot into the floor.

Yes, but not necessarily any close-coupled toilet.

Yes, as long as the toilet has a horizontal outlet (P-trap), you can usually connect it to a floor waste using a flexible pan connector or flexible S-trap. Just make sure the connector is suitable for the distance and offset, and that the toilet sits correctly over the floor outlet. If you're buying a new toilet, it's worth checking the manufacturer's dimensions to ensure it will fit your existing waste position.

Yes this can be done but without looking at the job I wouldn't like to say do this

Yes, in many cases you can use a close-coupled toilet with a floor outlet (vertical waste) and connect it using a flexible pan connector, but not every close-coupled toilet will fit.
