The toilet is one of the most visited places in your house. They sure aren't one of the beautiful things you'll ever purchase, but without one, you might be in a bit of strife. Choose the suitable Water closet for your bathroom toilet.
The squatting pan called in many names as Indian pan, Orissa pan and also Asian pan toilet is the classic type of toilet. Day by day this classic toilet is replaced by modern water closet which gives more comfort. These squatting pans have several designs and varying design.
These types of toilets are comparatively cheaper than the water closet type toilets. Squatting pan will not be directly connected to the drainage pipeline because the bad order will come in the toilets. So squatting pan will be connected to the drain pipe by using an ‘S' trap or ‘P' trap. This trap will avoid escape of bad order from drain line by a water seal.
This WC or EWC are designed to sit in the toilet. This kind of toilets comes with seat & cover. A Western Style toilet will be attached with a flush tank for flushing after usage. A small amount of water will be trapped inside the toilet itself by water seal, normally this water seal height will be 50 MM.
