Frequently Asked Questions
Why are frames sold by fixture?
Because the load cases differ.
A seated weight on a cantilevered pan.
Is a different problem from a leaning one.
And the services differ too.
A cistern and a waste, or a trap and tails.
Can I use one frame for another fixture?
It may bolt up and still be wrong.
The rating is for a stated fixture.
So are the connection positions.
And the service openings inside it.
Match the frame to what it will carry.
Which four figures specify a frame?
Load rating, height, depth and centres.
The rating for that fixture type.
Height, which is how far it rises.
Depth, which is what the room loses.
And the stud spacing the fixture hangs on.
Are the fixture centres universal?
No, and this catches people out.
Spacing varies between manufacturers.
A fixture may not fit another maker's frame.
Check the centres against the pan or basin.
Before either is ordered.
How much adjustment is there?
Enough for an unknown floor level.
The feet adjust for screed depth.
And brackets adjust the fixture height.
Both ranges are finite.
Confirm the target sits inside them.
What is most often missed at ordering?
Whether the height needed is achievable.
The range is assumed rather than checked.
And the frame is fixed before anyone looks.
By then the floor is set around it.
Check the range against the target height.
Does the wall behind change the frame?
It changes what fixes it there.
Masonry, stud, shaft wall or nothing.
Each needs a different fixing set.
And with nothing behind, a freestanding frame.
Establish the construction first.
