Wall hung toilets are popular all over the world however they’ve not caught on quickly here in North America. Whether its builders, plumbers or both who resist them its too bad considering I’ve installed these many times now and for multiple clients, all who prefer them over a standard floor set toilet.

Space savings and cleanliness are the biggest sellers when comparing all the specs to a traditional floor mount toilet. Performance is great and placement options are actually increased over a traditional toilet rough-in so its hard to see why they haven’t caught on more than they have to date.

Sure cost is higher but square footage is gained, design options are nearly endless and as mentioned before, cleanliness is superior so here’s to hoping this video helps anyone looking for more information on wall hung toilet plumbing from the beginning stages of construction.
