connecting' back to wall' WC to high level cistern; is this possible?

[Ding]

I have the possibility of siting a back to wall WC on a stud wall with a void behind that can be opened up above to accommodate a high level cistern; any one know if this can work?

stick a concealed system at high level,but you would have to use a different flush button kit to bring it lower

yeah weve done that make sure your button hoses reach like sheff paul says.

then just buy a longer flushpipe for it

You will need to fit a restrictor in the wc pan too.

You better tell'em what a restrictor is & where it goes cos there not as old as us two :wheelchair:

 

[Alex Pelton]

what's a restrictor? and where does it go? and why would you need one?

 

[Centralheatking]

the restrictor is applied to the fitter whom does not know where to stick it CHK

 

[Ding]

no, I mean an old fashioned high level cistern with a chain flush, don't want the button flush at all.

Fitted to the inlet of the wc to slow the water down. You can generally use an 1 1/4 plastic washer inserted before you push the flush pipe in.
otherwise you might get a wet tush!

Modern flushes just wont take away the sunday dinner,when sat on the throne sunday night

At least from high level there's a chance a 4.5 litre cistern might actually give a good flush.

However if it's a rimless pan, stand well back.

 

[Ding]

why is a restrictor necessary? the old WC's weren't a problem ( I have one it works fine) I gather to have an old fashioned HL cistern you need an old fashioned pan, if you want a good flush without water flying out!

I hear you...
The water saving cisterns should come with 3 buttons.

1/2 Flush
Full Flush..
..and..
TSUNAMI FLUSH..

The Tsunami flush button could be put at the side of the cistern, under a protective cap...or have a key lock.
There should also be a warning sticker at the button ...stating...
