What are the different types of toilets?

Commercial Washrooms supplies 4 types of toilet pans and cistern arrangements, each with their own suitability for certain installations and environments.

 

Low-level toilet

Low-level toilet - the cistern is positioned on the wall just above the pan with a short length of plastic pipe connecting the cistern and the toilet. The toilet is flushed using a lever handle or push button located on the cistern.

Close-coupled toilet

Close-coupled toilet - the cistern sits on the back of the toilet pan and can be flushed using a handle or push button which is located on the cistern. Close-coupled pans can project further away from the wall in comparison to low-level systems.

Back to wall toilet

Back to wall toilet - the concealed cistern is located behind a panel or wall, designed to conceal the cistern and waste pipes. The toilet is fixed to the floor and is positioned against the panel or wall. The toilet can be flushed using a sensor flush kit, a lever flush, or a push-button flush, each of which can be located through the IPS panel or wall to activate the concealed cistern.
