Hi, I have a situation whereby the cistern of a close coupled WC won't sit on the wall where I'd like it to go, so I'm looking for an alternative solution. The wall in question was originally an external wall and so the end of a nice thick slate window sill (which I don't want to damage) protrudes a couple of inches beyond the render - a WC pan would sit nicely beneath it, but a cistern would either have to be to the right of the sill, or above it. The only possible solution I've come up with is a high level cistern (with a pull chain). My question is, would it be possible to modify the downpipe between the cistern and the pan so it's not directly vertical (couple of slight bends), avoids the window sill and still provides enough of a flush for the pan? The cistern could be placed 10 feet (or more) above the pan so height isn't an issue. With some toilet sets, the downpipe included is chrome plated (and I guess the finish wouldn't take too kindly to the pipe being bent around). Can plastic pipe be 'persuaded' out of being straight (e.g.with steam against a form), or is it more likely I'll need to use a few connectors? Thanks in advance for any ideas.
