wall-hung toilets?

Couple of thoughts:

- Aesthetically and traditionally, I think wall-hung is more of a commercial restroom look. As much as you love it, it may not give off quite the right comfortable "home" vibe to others.

- Converting from one arrangement to another is a significant amount of plumbing work. Floor-mount toilets send the waste out the bottom. Wall-hung toilets, of course, send it out the back. The water entry point is also a bit different, though less so.

- Wall-hung toilets are frequently flushometer-based, not tank-based; if there are flushometer components hiding in the wall, they typically fit directly behind whatever trim plate comes with them, and that plate is easy to remove for service. I don't think I've ever heard of a toilet water tank hidden in the wall. (Turn to google for more on flushometers.)

- Wall-hung requires a strong support structure within the wall to support the weight, both of the toilet and of everyone who may sit on it. The first sign of a problem with this is when the sealant between the toilet body and the wall starts cracking. (Floor-mount is less tricky as the toilet is just another object sitting on a floor already designed to support things pushing down on it.)

Any advice?

Great, thanks for the advice Joe.
