Did mine today following this guide and the “read the instructions” advice. Turned out great with NO leaks. Unbelievable! Thank you for your great videos.
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. 🛁 🚽 🍾❤️
I am literally fitting one of these this week and your video was invaluable. I will let you know how I get on as I am vanity virgin! Unlike yours the wash basin is separate from the WC and I had to do a lot of customisation to the carcass to overcome the issue of the WC waste running on the inside right where the cabinet needs go. What a pain in the arse!
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
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.
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!
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?
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 " :)
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.
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..... 🤞
@@plumberparts joke or not, this is disgusting display of sexism. I'm here to learn, not to be reminded of how men consistently and sexually take advantage of women.
James why don't you offer your pan on your center trace around the pan the cut you hole 15mm inside this will save all that measuring. fellow plumber of 40years
i love your videos...you are an inspiration....I actually replaced a tap myself and fitted a compression fitting...and a plastic quick fitting....i was so scared but its working so far....i want to do a new project to change my radiator in my spare time so will certainly be taking guidance from your videos....
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
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 ??!!......
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?
We don't typically deal with flexible lines from a toilet drain in the US. Given the ribbed edges, do they catch material and clog easily? I imagine they would. Can you auger the toilet if it is gloged given this flex line?
I fitted one of these in a massage business where people are constantly gtaking showers and flshing toilet. Cold water fills cistern aftern flush and have huge condensation on cistern. Thinking of spraying expanding foam all around cistern and even cold pipes to stop warm moist air raching cold cisteran and condensing
Love the videos , think this has been asked before but what can be done about the flush pipe creeping out when pushing toilet back to wall. Can it be secured with bracket ? Or silicone in place. Cheers
Hold tite! Love the vids, any chance of showing us a combi boiler change? Also could do with tips on best tool to use to tighten taps in awkward position on bathroom sink. Booo yeah keep em coming pal!
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?
What about a downstairs WC with surface run cold and hot feeds plus soil waste with no where to hide them. Concrete floor and a terraced house, not enough room to build a fake wall to hide pipes behind. Is it a case of cutting a 110mm hole on the side of the vanity unit to run soil into soil stack?
Great video! Can the waste pipe typically go to the left, through the wash basin unit if the main waste pipe for the building is where the bath taps are on your video? Looking to buy a unit like this. Only the WC unit part is thinner. Not sure if they all assume waste and water are directly behind\down.
hi, have you ever had an issue with a newly fitted cistern not refilling once flushed but just a tap of the fill valve makes it fill, a little knock or vibration but on its own just wont refil
Thanks for the video. I've got one of these blighters to fit in about a week and I've never done it before and this is the best "how to" I've found so far. The multiquick looks good, but the toilet I took out was a ceramic job from around 1960 and the waste was a ceramic pipe which is still projecting a couple of inches - un-broken, I might add, though possibly with a bit of filler-like sealant around it - into the room. Will the multiquick fit into it without any sealant? Somewhat to my surprise, I didn't see you use any sealant on the flush or the waste pipe. Is that how it's done? And do they seal well? Best wishes, Rich.
Hi mate that man again shall be fitting same soon tell me please do you recommend a little drop of seal around the pipes or not. Never get tired of your videos thanks a million take care both !.
Once you fix the worktop in place and tile the wall down to it. How do you remove the flush valve to replace a leaking seal? I have this problem now. I can disconnect the flush valve but there is no space to lift it up and out of the cistern because the worktop is like yours and fixed about 2" above the cistern.
Enjoyed the spirit of the installation but thought that the cistern/reservoir/tank would be concealed in the wall. As shown it merely takes up additional space and demands a dicey connexion technique...?
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 .
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?
Thank you for your video. It helps loads. Just one question. Does the flush pipe go right into the back of the loo as far as it will go or just to where there is a lip in the pan?
How about a video on a proper back to wall toilet. They can be a swine to do especially when the pan as that bar at the back and drain comes though the floor!
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
How do you fix the toilet inlet valve, if it's leaking and also fix the problem of water constantly trickling into loo, once everything has been installed and don't have access to top, as worktop has been installed which is also the sink too and has been silconed. Thanks
Hi - we have a soak.com toilet and our plumber is unable to install it because it doesn’t have a side panel to tighten it to the wall. Have you any ideas about how this could be done. They have tried using the 2 holes on top of the pan without success...
I need to move my toilet over a couple of inches as too close to towel rad but concealed cistern can't be moved would a flexible flush pipe be the best solution?
God damn it.....Excellent video but It looks like I have a big job on to tighten up the encapsulated nuts which have come loose on my loo seat. It looks as though I have to remove my sink so that I can remove the work top to get access to it all. Bugga !
Hi PP I wondered if you could give me some advice. I have rewashered a kitchen stoptap and ran copper pipework from a combi boiler to a cloakroom (basin and toilet are not in place yet due to waiting for a builder to tile it) I was curious how much I should be paid for doing such work.
When you were fitting the bracket that holds the cistern, you said “always take into account the height of the flush bit as well”. What exactly did you mean by this?

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

Ps. If I'm not mistaken, that looks suspiciously like the Wickes vanity unit I'm about to install.
Fingers crossed..... 🤞
thanks for making my life easier James - same loo and same cabinet thanks ..am holding tight 👍
btw how can 50 numpties dislike this 🤔
There's always a few mate! No worries!
I'm an apprentice plumber and was wondering, at what point during the installation of the cistern do you rummage through the customers knicker drawer?
Ha! Almost straight away!!!
You’ll want the dirty washing basket..

I’ve always used hole-saws for cutting through the unit
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
That’s what I’m looking for you’ve done amazing work
Thanks for that. Brilliant just what I needed.
Very helpful...
Thankyou.
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 ??!!......
just fitted the exact same one mate from victoria plumb. cistern was a pain with the flush pipe. apart from that all good!
Thanks
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
Good job once again.
Cheers!
Hi I wonder if you can make a video to show how to replace an inlet valve Push fit SV80367 or threaded section (SV04667). Thank you!
We don't typically deal with flexible lines from a toilet drain in the US. Given the ribbed edges, do they catch material and clog easily? I imagine they would. Can you auger the toilet if it is gloged given this flex line?
Two pan connectors joined together?
Oh dear James....what's the world coming too.
Holdtite!
hi thanks for the video . without your help, my chap would have been 6 foot under the patio !!!!!!! HOLD TIGHT 😂
I saw you put attachment at the toilet seat sewage waste outlet let me ask where can i buy that connector please
Thanks,

Should work. Good luck! PP!

wish i could find a Plumber like you in belfast to do the same job with out costing a bomb and nice job dude
Imagine being a single female too.... the quotes I've had have been horrendous! 6k one of them!!

Donna kebab agrees 😂 nice one!
Hi great vid .....how long did it take you to put in this bathroom set and plumb it in? cheers
your vdieo helped a lot. thanks~~~~
Thank you for your video. It helps loads. Just one question. Does the flush pipe go right into the back of the loo as far as it will go or just to where there is a lip in the pan?
It goes as far as possible. They are prone to leaking and can be a nightmare!! Good luck, PP!
Can the flush button be fitted on the top instead of the front
How about a video on a proper back to wall toilet. They can be a swine to do especially when the pan as that bar at the back and drain comes though the floor!
I think we've half covered one, but I'll add it to the list anyway! Cheers, PP!
How do you open it if leaking please?
Great video - quick query, if you were doing all the work yourself, would you tile the floor before installing the units and toilet or after?
Tile before mate, think he used vinyl after we left. Regards, PP!
***** Thanks for that bud. Are we all allowed to use the #holdtight or is it copyrighted :-)
Can this unit go to a side outlet...thanks
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
Do you need to put silicone around the parts in the cistern?
Do I??

Hello, can you use a hanging toilet with this unit?
I need to move my toilet over a couple of inches as too close to towel rad but concealed cistern can't be moved would a flexible flush pipe be the best solution?
How fits all that stuff without tiling first?
hi, can u install plastic soil pipe on to cast iron pipe. thanks i really enjoy your videos.
+mo jam With the right adapters, yes, PP!
What adapters would they be?
Interesting installation. I'm assuming you opted for a concealed toilet due to the waste pipe being too close to the new sink?
No it's not my choice! Customers choose and I do their bidding!
What plastic pipe cutter did you use to cut the toilet flush pipe?
Would have been nice to see how you fitted the flush button.
That's the easy part, if you go to back end of this video ua-cam.com/video/s4SHYM52vhY/v-deo.html you'll see.
Hello,
Which kind of blade do you use to cut the hole? Could you please Kindly provide the link to the blade.
Many thanks
I cut the hole with a jigsaw BEFORE I install it. The hole size isn't going to change
God damn it.....Excellent video but It looks like I have a big job on to tighten up the encapsulated nuts which have come loose on my loo seat.
It looks as though I have to remove my sink so that I can remove the work top to get access to it all.
Bugga !
What size hole for the flusher?
what size and wha kind and how should I install screws in this concealed toilet pan
Where do the screws go, they are horizontal.
4.40
Line it up ?
What with ?
Don't think I've ever seen such a cluttered workspace. Couldn't cope working in that lot.
Hi PP I wondered if you could give me some advice. I have rewashered a kitchen stoptap and ran copper pipework from a combi boiler to a cloakroom (basin and toilet are not in place yet due to waiting for a builder to tile it) I was curious how much I should be paid for doing such work.
Work out what you want to be paid hourly, then add materials plus whatever percentage you want to earn on materials. Good luck! PP!
I always hold tight when im on the Bog
Being attached to a wood cabinet, how do you wash the toilet bowl now ? Silly idea
When you were fitting the bracket that holds the cistern, you said “always take into account the height of the flush bit as well”. What exactly did you mean by this?
Probably meant so they dont clash
