How to fit a back-to-wall toilet: The client has chosen a back-to-wall toilet in the bathroom. In this video, you will see a step-by-step guide on how to install a back-to-wall toilet.
In one of my earlier videos, you can see when I had to re-plumb the pipe work as the client changed their mind on the type of toilet they wanted, as a back-to-wall toilet needs to have all the pipe work concealed behind the main toilet….
- Here is when I re-plumb the toilet:

Excellent video especially good as your not a native English speaker so you go slowly and thoughtfully
Thanks you're the first to notice that
Just about to do my first bathroom this has been a very good and informative video thanks.
Thank you....👍👍👍
Thanks so much for doing this video - I fitted one of these before and now have another to do - learned some new tricks from you - many thanks and all the best👍
You're very welcome!
2023 viewer here, I am so grateful for this excellently put together two year old tutorial 🙂
Mine's a bit odd as I needed to change the toilet seat with hidden fittings, however these were bolted out of sight under the seat (not the common pop up out type. I honestly had no idea where to start till I saw your installation and realised how it all came together. Thank you once again 🤟
I am really happy i could help, and when i receive this type of messages i realise that all this time, videoing , editing , uploding, etc. it's not been wasted. Thank you again for your support.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I am hoping to fit one of these myself in the next few weeks. This has been very helpful. Thank you again!

Thanks for the visit and I'm happy that I could help
This was a perfect tutorial, very detailed and lots of important tips. Thank you for filming this for us 😁

Great video, I have the same toilet, but the instructions are really bad, so your video is really helpful 👍 thank you for taking the time

That steel rack is very close to the toilet. Having said that, I would love to take a dump in that toilet. Great work!
Thanks mate

Thank you, very helpful
You welcome
Great video with very good attention to detail. Taking the time to do a good job says a lot about your work. 👍
Thanks
Thanks! Now I know the workings behind the toilet. Looks a bit tight but doable as you've shown.
thanks.ive tried my best to show all the parts that you can't really see
A very good video my friend, well done 👏🏼.
Thanks
Very informative thankyou
You welcome and thank you
Thanks for sharing your expertise
My pleasure! Thanks
Kudos for a clear instructional video. I have a very similar toilet half installed, but was unsure about the 2 bolts holding the cistern to the pan, I can't believe they designed it with just plastic bolts, especially as the cistern is not bolted to the wall. Anyways, I can now go and finish it before wifey gets home.
Thanks for the visit and I'm happy I could help
That was a big help as I am fitting one at the moment
I am really happy that this clip helped and thanks for msg me
Thanks a lot for this video. It was perfect! Great tutorial! Thanks!!
Thanks
Thank you, an excellent video - this has helped a lot for my install next week 👍🏻
Glad it helped
Brilliant , I'm ready to instal my own now.
Great if you need more help find me on Facebook check the description
Great video and clear explanations. I'm always worried about this kind of toilet. As you said, any drips and leaks, you won't know about it until it's too late. I think I prefer not to have anything concealed like bath taps and showers for that reason. Oldschool I know but I've had lots of problems before
We are on the same page here .Nothing it's build to last sooner or later somthing is going to go wrong and if you can see it you can repair it. Thanks for the msg
Made my life easier, cheers
Wow.im happy to hear that
Really useful video. Very well explained for a novice like me.
Thank you very much
It's amazing video mate 👌 This is what I was looking for because I am finishing the bathroom renovation myself 👍
Im very happy that i could help. Thanks for the msg
Thanks for the viedeo .Well explained
you welcome
Many thanks hoping to fit one of these myself in a few weeks. Very helpful :)
Thanks glad i can help

regards Rob.
Wow i like yours mesage makes me do more clips like that . Really appreciate thanks
@@How2Extreme I I'll try to spread your channel, all the best of luck
Thanks
Great Video, thank you
Thanks
Thanks
I really enjoy your video, I have learned a lot from them, thank you. This is the best video out there on how to fit a back to wall toilet ;-)
thanks mate
Good video. I prefer to use the 'back to wall' flexible pan connectors which are clamped to the pan spigot using a jubilee clip. That way you don't have to worry about leaks, or about the connector popping off if you're pulling the thing in and out.
Good to know.thanks
Excellent
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks for this. Very good guide! I needed this since I have a back-to-wall toilet which needs a new siphon valve. Couldn't see how to make this change without seeing how this kind of toilet is installed. All makes good sense now though still not looking forward to making the change!
Wow, I really appreciate your message. You just made my day. Thanks
How did changing the toilet valve go? I have to do ours today - and what would be a 10 minute job on a normal toilet looks like it will take hours of messing around.
good video but I believe you can make much better if you planned a bit ahead. An example is: before you install the waste pipe you could mark and put the brackets for the basin. this is just an eg. Keep up the good work because you know what you doing and above all you are a gentleman. Great work. cheers and good luck for your channel mate.
Thanks for the tips! Great point
You have just made up my mind which toilet system I am installing
i am happy to hear that i could help
Thanks for your time to do this informative video. I hate back to wall toilets simply because flex pipes are bound to fail at some point in their lifetime and if concealed then that's trouble. They are also a pain to install. But anyway that's my opinion and an option between aesthetics and practicality. Question please : Pre-fitting, I noted that the toilet had a slight floor wobble. Did the floor wobble resolve once you tightened the toilet to the floor brackets ? Thanks once again.
Thanks for the msg and yes the toilet wasn't wobbly after completion.
Excellent shooting and nicely explained, what are the two big holes that you covered them with clip lids at last? are they for Bidet water supply?
Hi the water supply pipe can go through those hole's instead i made it to go from the floor gist to hide the pipes
Nice. I appreciate the hardwork in this detail tutorial. you would have gone faster with your job if not for showing us. good luck. keep it up
That's right and I'm happy you saw that.thanks and I will
Hi, thanks for the good informative video! I have a similar unit and it is a bit loose when you sit on it and I have tried tightening up the screws on the floor bracket but it still not quite as rigid as it should be! The cistern isn't attached to the back wall and there are no screw holes to fix it to the wall so I was wondering what is the best way to fix it to the wall? thanks
Hi. A good adhesive it's going to do the trick and you can apply it on the floor and at the back of the toilet
Nice video but I would connected the inlet connection while out for easy access and finally connect the flexi to the rising main
Thanks for sharing
Great demo of how to fit this type of toilet. Just what I was looking for. Is it absolutely necessary for silicon on the rubber seals please?
It's not necessary. It's just that sometimes the services are not perfectly flat and its bette not to take chances. If we get a leak, everything needs to be dismantled
@@How2Extreme thank you 👍
Great job !
BTW I live few houses away from you
Thanks.How do you know we're i live???
@@How2Extreme
Hey
I recognise you. On the street where you live there’s a house where EWI currently being installed. That’s my house and my own project.
Nice.i better come and say hello.are you doing the project???
@@How2Extreme
Yes I do it
check this other channel
Enjoyed and very helpful, well done!
Question: can this type of toilet discharge into a sweep 90 after leaving the flexible connector?
Thanks and yes it's a basic toilet i don't see why note.
Thank you for the fast response. I’m still hunting a flexible P-trap connector- all I’ve found are the rigid variety.
You can easily find it in screwfix ,b&q,selco etc
Can the tap be on the outside of the toilet base? Fed In through the side holes? That way If any leaks can turn tap off easily?
Yes. That's why that hole is there
This video has been really helpful for us today installing a toilet very similar. However we have a problem - our horizontal wall connection sticks out too far, like the one in your video did originally. I wondered how you removed it? Would it be ok just to cut it to size using a hacksaw before attaching the Flexi pan connector? Or does there need to be a special kind of connection going into the pipes to ensure there are no leaks? Thanks for your amazing work!
Hi.im very happy that I could help and definitely yes you can cut the down pipe to size or you can get a smaller pan conector.thanks for your message
@@How2Extreme Thank you so much! I'm looking forward to trying some more DIY following your videos now too :)
Thank you so much
When u put bolt through cistern before attaching to pan u should be putting a back nut on both bolts then through cistern and then two wing nuts
Hi.I used everything that is coming in the box with it and I had a look at the instruction manual before starting. I've done everything by the bock
Is that flexible waste pipe leak proof? Do i need to put silicon around the connections to make it better? I have exactly same system that i need to fit
If you referring at the flexible pan conector yes.i never had problems with them and you don't need to use any silicon
I have a same cistern and water inlet is located inside cistern on the top left, I wish to install bidet but found very difficult to route a hose out of the cistern can you help?
Yes.go on my Facebook. Will speak more in there
So the toilet install is going well. I'm using an identical toilet and the flexi waste from pan to P-trap. The one thing I'm having issues with is the connector staying in the porcelain waste outlet. It's very tight but doesn't seem to really fit and so every time I move the pan it it pops out. Any thoughts on how I could stop this? Thanks
Hi longer flexible waste conector evrething and then gist push to the wall.you can send me some pic's on Facebook and i will help more
@@How2Extreme Thank you. I did that this afternoon, it's a bit scary cause you can't see if it has connected properly. I have left everything to dry tonight (I'm in Australia) and will check for any leaks tomorrow. I will send you a picture on FB though.
Hi can I ask what those 2 extra holes on the sides are for, the ones you blocked with white plug, not the holes near the base wear you screw to the floor
hi, you can actualy pass the pipes and conect the water supply if the pipes are going to be on the surfice of the wall or floor
Question please - what is the day rate for a plumber in London ?
Hi. It will be different in base of where the job is, but a company will pay around 250£.
Hi! What model of toilet is this and how high up from the ground was the wall outlet? Thanks!
Hi . The hight its standard 190mm if the hole it's higher or lower then that you can use a offset pan connector

Could you please link the toilet you are using? I cannot seem to find modern looking back to wall toilets
You need to search close couplet toilet and you are going to find loads of models

Do you have any links to the adapter or toilet model used here? Thank you

Just look on Google at back to wall toilets
You can use a water alarms in toilets like that just in case they leak
Great idea
Where can I find the flexible pipe connector please
Hi.you can try screwfix . all the shops that sell plumbing are going to have them also
Why Silicone on the cistern when it fills with water statight after surely its unable to dry ?
That's is just to fill any void the rubber by itself is going to do the job
Flexi always goes on first before fixing
Yes I find that easier to do, first to be connected to the pan . Thanks again for taking your time and right this message on my small channel, I really appreciated
Where is the isolator for the toilet?
Next to the waste pipe
Well done. But you need a pair of knee pads for the longevity of your knees.
The knee pads are always on.I have them in the knee pockets of my trousers. Thanks for caring
Noooo always fit the bolts first for room
Yes you are right not always. Thanks for the visit
Great vid. The music is terrible.
Thanks. The music it's expensive to buy so usually I use what it's free and it's not going to be the best.Sorry about that
Crap, i have this toilet and i have a leak at the back....... damn...
That's sounds terrible. I feel you
Flexy pan connecter dodgy af
Sorry you feel that way.it works for me and thanks for the visit
Yeah no point goin in dry lol!!!
I can tell you dont trust your work otherwise u wouldnt use silicone there is no need for silicone for any of these bolts people that put silicone dont trust the work they do so they put silicone to save there ass lmaoo
Hi.As long i dont have any leaks i am happy and i will share my own way of doing it.thanks for the visit any way
