What corner (or very compact) macerating toilet?

What corner (or very compact) macerating toilet?

My ensuite is only 1.6x 1.6m so the toilet will need to be compact. To save space in looking at a corner toilet. 

 

Because of the location of the ensuite, a downflush toilet will be problematic so I'm looking at a macerating toilet.  Is there a corner solution (or ultra compact solution)

Re: corner (or very compact) macerating toilet

Hi @Kingleviathan,

 

Thank you for your question.

 

Installing the toilet will require a plumbing licence, so a plumber is a necessary step in the process. Speaking with a plumber about your options is likely a good place to start. They'll be able to give you recommendations on what will and won't work within the space and within the relevant industry standards.

 

I can't say I know much about macerating toilets, but I can see on our website that this Saniflo Sanicompact 43 Toilet Suite WELS 6 Star 2.98L/Full is a compact macerating toilet that might be a good option for you.

 

Allow me to tag some of our knowledgeable members to see if they have any experience or info to offer, @Peggers, @Dave-1, @Nailbag.

 

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Good Afternoon @Kingleviathan 

I am afraid I dont have any knowledge to help out on this one 😕 Tho after watching the video on the item @JacobZ has tagged my recomendation would be for a plumber install and see what they also recommend unit wise.

Sorry @Kingleviathan this is out of my expertise and would recommend a plumber, which as @JacobZ mentioned is a legal requirement to install.

I spoke with SaniFlo. They dont have a corner model.  They did suggest a different compact model to the one bunning offer.

Re: What corner (or very compact) macerating toilet?

Hello @Kingleviathan 

 

The Saniflo Sanicompact 43 Toilet Suite WELS 6 Star 2.98L/Full is one of the most compact macerating toilet suites you can find. It comes in at 445mm (h) x 390mm (w) x 440mm (d). You will require at least an 800mm space to use the toilet properly without getting cramped for space. However, if you need more space, you can add an extra 100mm to the allotted space but that means that whatever you are installing to the right of the toilet will only have a space of 700mm.

 

Technically still enough space for a compact shower, but it will have to be an open walk in type. As for the vanity, it will need to be a solid porcelain sink only with no cabinet underneath. This is because it is right in front of the shower. You can place a compact shaving cabinet close by, but it will need to be as far away from the shower as much as possible.

 

My best advice is to have the door either as a cavity slider/barn door type or have the door swing out instead of in.

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
