6pt-
Yeah, I looked at those. Given the size of the soil pipe where it goes from the main bathroom into the floor level boxing in the ensuite, I'm pretty sure the frame would end up resting on the soil pipe. I'm no plumber, but I'm assuming that would be a bad idea.
e: Also, because I'm not having a wall-mounted pan, a frame like that seems overkill just for holding the cistern in place.

Anyone know anything about concealed cistern units?
I'm planning on completely redoing my ensuite bathroom after discovering the bouncy shower pan was not a fun design feature but was caused by the chipboard support for the shower pan having been dissolved by a leak. Project creep means that fixing the shower has turned into a total refit.
I'm hoping to use a concealed cistern behind boxing and a floor mounted back-to-wall pan. However, the house is wood-framed, so the wall behind the cistern is effectively a stud wall. I can't use one of the metal stands as the soil pipe runs horizontally behind the pan, where the feet of the stand would go.
So my plan is to attach a sheet of, say, 19mm/3/4" ply to the wall behind the bonzo, screwed firmly into the timbers in the wall, and then bolt a wall-mounted cistern onto that. Genius plan, or stupid idea doomed to a splishy splashy leaky conclusion?
