Old Style Armitage Ware Toliet

[Jon H]

Hi Guys and Gals

I have an old toilet that needs removing to retile, the only thing is the toilet appears a tad odd.

It wastes out of the bottom then out to the soil pipe, I havent a clue what sort of toliet it is but I am concerned that when I remove it I may break something and parts may not be available.

Any ideas?

Jon.

It is an S trap pan. You can still get them to order. A P trap with a bent pan connector does the same job. Depends how old it is if you would get a similar style tho.

Hi and thanks, How does it connect to the pipe in the floor? can I get parts for this connection? Thanks. jOn

 

[tamz]

Depends what type joint is in the floor but yes. You can get something to connect to anything.

Thanks mate, much appreciated. JON>

Thank, but I dont think its an S Tipe pan, I've looked and there is no pipe out of the rear it empties right under your bum (sorry to be course) I can email a picture if thats any good? thanks. JOn.

An S trap points down (like an S on its side) and a P trap out like a P on its nose

Sounds like an old syphonic pan s trap to me.

Best off replacing it...

I've got one to replace this week..........in champagne colour to match the rest of the thirty year old suite.

Major expense at 260 sheets though
