I'm about to re-tile an area of my house that includes a tiny half bath. I'm considering replacing an ancient full-size floor-mounted toilet with a wall-hung toilet. It would make the bathroom much less cramped. I had a very good experience recently replacing an old toilet in another bathroom with a Toto Guinevere, so I'm inclined to stay with Toto and get a wall-hung Maris for this bathroom.
I have a couple of questions though:
The toilet would be mounted on an outside wall. Should I be concerned about freezing? It doesn't usually get bitter cold (subzero) here for any length of time, but it can stay below freezing for several days at a time. The pipes for the sink are already in the same wall and they haven't frozen yet, but they are insulated, and this install would take up most of the wall cavity (limiting or eliminating any room for insulation).
I've seen in other discussions that people use a Geberit mounting solution and tank with the Maris rather than the Toto mount/tank. What's the reason for this?
Thanks in advance,
Mike
