Toilets Installed at Oblique Angle

[Martin Scroatman]

I'm seeing more and more of this.

Is there some reason for this, ergonomic or otherwise, or is it simply shoddy workmanship?

[MicrosoftBob]

Sounds a bit inconvenient to me

Oblique to which axis?

Is that France's first toilet? Still use a hole in the ground don't they?

[Martin Scroatman]

Oblique to which axis?

The horizontal axis of the wall against which the appliance is installed.

I would expect a line that originates at this wall and extends to bisect the plan view of the toilet to be perpendicular to this horizontal.

This is not the case.

now the Polish plumbers have gone home they are letting the apprentices fit them while still hopped up on wifebeater?

I expect they've been knocked askew by bob's unorthodox squatting antics.

They will be replaced by Syrian plumbers who can also clean up your AK, teach your kids to make IEDs at home and keep the milkman away from your wife...

There is a new trend for wall hung pans; it makes cleaning the floor easier as you can mop under it & architects seem to like them.

People don’t realise the forces involved

The manufactures provide some nice brackets to install the pans & lots of pretty pictures, but modern construction of public WS’s tends to be cheap or IPS systems (or even worse cheap IPS systems) these walls are typically a lot thinner than a traditional block wall which is what the fixing brackets are designed for.

So they start to sag & may eventually shear off or pull the wall down

Personally if the pan is on a slant – don’t trust the fixing
