Toilet Pans

Not to be confused with the S-bend, an S-trap toilet has the waste pipe exiting the toilet vertically and passing into the floor. There is still an S-bend installed before the waste pipe goes through the floor.

Like an S-trap, P-trap refers to the direction the waste pipe exits the toilet. In this case, the waste pipe projects horizontally into the wall behind the toilet.

A skew trap is used when the position of the toilet doesn’t match the drainage pipe location. The waste pipe runs horizontally along the wall of the bathroom until it meets the existing drainage pipe.

Buying a toilet pan for your bathroom is something you won’t do that often as a homeowner in Australia. Choosing from the best options on the market means you won’t have to repeat the exercise either with a functional and stylish pan that will last decades. High-quality toilet pans often have a bacterially resistant coating that reduces how often the toilet suite needs cleaning. Choosing a high-quality product also ensures that you get one that is made from premium materials, reducing the risk of damage and leaks while preventing costly plumbing repairs.

The first thing to consider when buying a toilet pan in Australia is the room in which it will be installed. If you have a small bathroom, a wall hung pan can be a great space saving option. For those that prefer a more traditional style, a wall faced pan created a sleeker, less cluttered look. You’ll also want to take into consideration where in the room the existing waste outlet (if any) is fitted and what plumbing installation will be best suited. The pan’s materials and any additional features, like specific coatings, should also be taken into consideration and is a great way to differentiate options from one another too. When setting up a bathroom, it is crucial to consider all the necessary components, and one important addition that should not be overlooked is the toilet seat. Don't forget about it while buying for your toilet pan.
