Are Toilet Relocation Devices Prone to Clogging? How Much Can You Move a Toilet

Due to the poor layout of some floor plans, it’s necessary to reposition the toilet during installation, which requires the use of toilet offset connectors. So, are toilet offset connectors prone to clogging, and how much can they be moved? Let’s take a look.

一、Are toilet offset connectors prone to clogging, and how much can they generally be moved?

Toilet offset connectors can indeed be prone to clogging. When repositioning, it’s recommended to move them about 5 to 10 centimeters, while for special toilet offset connectors, a movement of 10 to 15 centimeters may be appropriate, depending on the actual installation of the toilet and the location of the drainage outlet. When using a toilet offset connector to reposition, it’s important to control the distance moved; if the distance is too large, the slope will also be steeper. Additionally, if you are planning to install a toilet offset connector, make sure to do so before laying the bathroom floor tiles, as the connector may require some digging into the floor or raising the floor level.

二、Precautions for using toilet offset connectors:

1、Toilet offset connectors mainly resolve mismatches between the toilet outlet and the drainage duct. However, over time, they can negatively affect the toilet and user experience. If not installed correctly, they can easily lead to toilet clogs.

2、After the installation of a toilet offset connector, it may create multiple bends in the toilet's drain, which can increase air pressure and potentially cause backflow or reduce flushing efficiency. Since the thickness of the offset connector is limited, it's likely to accumulate scaling over time, further impacting the flushing power of the toilet.

3、If it is not absolutely necessary, it is advisable to avoid using a toilet offset connector. If you must use one, ensure that it is not moved too far. The distance moved should be determined based on the actual installation position of the toilet and the area of the drainage outlet.
