We are gutting and redesigning our entire bathroom which is an 80's disaster of peach and frilly horror. Please see the photo of our current bathroom (de-tiling underway)+ current toilet layout, and my (cough) technical diagrams of what is to come
We are building a new half wall which will be a shelf on the back wall level with the window, with a shelf top that goes the full length of the room and into the window recess, one big huge shelf
The new toilet will be flush to the back of this half wall, the old boxing for pipes removed, my question is, how much room do i need to leave for the new toilet pipe arrangement (what depth of half wall). I understand too many sharp bends can be a problem and from what i understand this will be a flexible waste pipe that will go into the external waste pipe hole and connect to the back of the toilet but will have two 45 degree angles which I can soften with a bigger recess.
I want to get the basic structure of the fake wall and top / sides in place so the plumber can come out and do the toilet from start to finish, but getting him out to give me an idea of 'how much space' is needed is not easy due to his work load.
I am assuming 130mm space inside / behind the wall should be suffice? 100mm pipe, 15mm free space all around? or could I do the bare minimum 100 / 110mm
Thank you in advance for any assistance or pointers
