MOBI-III Toilet Suite

Description

The MOBI-III Toilet Suite arrives as one purchase — pan, cistern and seat together — so there is nothing left to match up afterwards and nothing to discover missing on the day it goes in.

Close coupled

The cistern sits directly on the pan and the pan stands away from the wall, which is the traditional arrangement and the simplest to install. There is no false wall to build and nothing hidden, so anything that ever needs attention is reachable. The trade is the gap behind the pan, which has to be cleaned around rather than wiped past.

Rimless

A traditional pan hides the water channel under a lip that runs around the inside of the bowl. Rimless does away with it — the water is directed around an open bowl instead. There is no lip to reach up under with a brush, which is where the staining and the smell usually start in an older toilet. It is the single biggest change to toilet design in the last twenty years, and it is a cleaning decision rather than a flushing one.

140mm set-out, fixed

This one is not adjustable. The waste has to be 140mm from the finished wall. Measure before you order — if your waste sits anywhere else, this is not the suite for that bathroom.

Choosing the button finish

The flush button is the one part of a toilet that gets touched every day, and it is the part that either matches the tapware or does not. Pick it against the mixer and the towel rail rather than against the pan — the ceramic is white either way.

Set-out — measure this before you order

The set-out is the distance from the finished wall to the centre of the waste in the floor. Get it wrong and the pan will not sit against the wall, and there is no adjusting it once the floor is tiled.

An S-trap goes down through the floor. A P-trap goes back through the wall. Measure what you have before you order, and if you are unsure, take a photo of the waste with a tape across it and send it to us.

Water rating

4 star WELS, 4.5 litres on a full flush and 3 litres on a half. Four stars is the practical ceiling for a dual flush toilet in Australia, so this is as low as a normal suite goes on water.
