Caroma Revolutionises Toilet Suite Installation Flexibility

Caroma’s patented Orbital® Technology is an ideal installation solution for renovating, retrofitting existing bathrooms or building a new bathroom. Designed to overcome set-out compatibility issues, it makes the plumber’s job easier and increases the range of options available when choosing a toilet suite. Orbital Technology is uniquely adjustable, with the capability to extend a toilet set-out to any position up to a 50mm radius. By rotating the upper and lower bodies, the connector assists in adapting to a wider range of set-outs and makes it easier for plumbers to install a toilet suite to existing pipework, saving both time and money. From the time a slab is poured, to when the toilet is installed, the specified set out frequently changes. Other factors such as the tile selection may have had an impact on the fit-out. Caroma’s Orbital Technology has been developed to overcome these issues, allowing for greater freedom in how a toilet suite can be positioned in new bathrooms, renovations or retrofits. Following on from the success of the original Caroma Orbital Connector, which is suitable for close coupled toilet suites, the new Uni-Orbital Connector provides increased installation exclusively for Caroma wall faced toilet suites. While other connectors generally only move backwards and forwards, the Uni-Orbital Connector has radial adjustment. This enables plumbers to easily align the toilet suite with tile lines, push buttons, cistern flush pipe or drainline. This also provides the option to install a wall faced suite clear from any obstacles such as a stop cock. Furthermore, the new fixing plate has additional holes allowing multiple fixing points to ensure contact with a stud. The Uni-Orbital Connector comes in both standard and compact variations, both push directly into the drainline and the compact version conveniently requires no cutting. Since the connectors have a quick connection that pushes straight into the drainline, it eliminates the need to purchase and install a separate pan collar. The compact version comes standard with new reduced projection pans from Caroma. This allows for the standard set-out range to be maintained even with the smaller pans, which is ideal for smaller bathrooms where space is at a premium. By design, the Orbital & Uni-Orbital Connectors feature large trap throughways in all configurations. This reduces the risk of siphonage and ensures effective flush performance Dr Steve Cummings.
