How to Choose a Compact Toilet

A compact toilet uses a shorter projection to reduce how far the toilet extends into the bathroom. This can make it particularly useful for small bathrooms, ensuites, powder rooms and toilet rooms where clearance between the toilet, vanity, shower screen or doorway is limited.

Before choosing, check the pan projection, waste outlet, set-out, water inlet position and pan height. You can also compare more options in our Toilet collection.

Check the Toilet Projection

Measure from the finished wall to the front of the pan and compare this with your available space. The current MBS compact range includes short-projection toilets around 610mm to 620mm deep, helping preserve more walkway space than many longer toilet suites.

Do not check projection alone. Make sure there is still comfortable clearance around nearby fixtures and enough usable space in front of the toilet.

Check the Trap and Set-Out

A P-trap connects through the wall, while an S-trap connects through the floor. Selected compact toilets can accommodate an S-trap using the supplied conversion bend within a specified set-out range.

Measure the existing waste position from the finished wall and compare it with the exact toilet specifications before ordering. If you are replacing an existing suite, have your plumber confirm compatibility.

Check the Water Inlet Position

The current compact range supports back or top inlet as well as bottom inlet configurations on selected models. Matching the new toilet to your existing water point may help reduce unnecessary plumbing alterations.

Always check the individual model because inlet positions and installation requirements can vary.

Consider Height and Flushing Design

Rimless designs remove the traditional enclosed rim to make more of the bowl accessible for cleaning, while tornado rimless models use a different water-flow pattern around the bowl.

Selected compact toilets are also available in a raised-height configuration, which may make sitting and standing easier for some users. Compare our Back to Wall Toilets if you want a wider range of heights and projections.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a compact toilet, and when should I choose one?

A compact toilet is designed with a shorter projection, meaning it extends less distance from the finished wall into the bathroom. This can help preserve walkway space in small bathrooms, ensuites, powder rooms and separate toilet rooms, particularly where the toilet sits opposite a vanity, shower screen or doorway. The current Melbourne Bathroom Shop compact range has projections of approximately 610–620mm. Before choosing, compare the actual room clearance as well as the toilet dimensions. Browse our Compact Toilets and wider Toilet collection.

2. How much space can a short-projection toilet save?

The amount saved depends on the toilet you are replacing. A compact toilet with a 610–620mm projection may provide noticeably more clearance than a longer toilet suite, but the difference should be calculated from the actual dimensions of both models. Measure from the finished wall to the front of your existing pan, then compare this with the new toilet projection. Even 50–100mm of additional clearance can matter in a tight ensuite, but you should still make sure there is comfortable usable space in front of and beside the toilet.

3. Will a compact toilet work with my existing S-trap or P-trap plumbing?

It depends on the waste position. A P-trap connects through the wall, while an S-trap connects through the floor. The current MBS compact toilets are listed for P-trap installation and can also accommodate an S-trap using a supplied conversion bend, with a stated S-trap set-out of 70–170mm. Measure the waste position from the finished wall before ordering and compare it with the exact toilet specifications. If you are uncertain about the measurement, have your plumber confirm compatibility before purchasing.

4. What does toilet set-out mean, and how do I measure it?

For an S-trap toilet, the set-out is generally the distance from the finished wall to the centre of the floor waste connection. This measurement is important because every toilet has a compatible set-out range. The current Compact Toilet collection specifies an S-trap set-out range of 70–170mm when the supplied conversion bend is used. Measure from the finished wall surface rather than unfinished framing, and do not estimate the position visually. If you are replacing an existing toilet, confirm the measurement with your plumber before ordering.

5. Will a compact toilet work with my existing water inlet?

Possibly. The water inlet position is just as important as the waste connection when replacing a toilet. The current MBS Compact Toilet range lists both back/top inlet and bottom inlet options on the available models. Check where your existing water point enters the cistern and compare it with the specification of the toilet you are considering. Matching the existing inlet can help reduce additional plumbing changes. If your current connection is in an unusual position, have your plumber check it before ordering.

6. Should I choose a standard-height or raised-height compact toilet?

A standard-height compact toilet prioritises a shorter overall footprint, while a raised-height model combines the short projection with a higher sitting position. Raised-height toilets can make sitting down and standing up easier for some users, including taller people or those who prefer a higher seat. The current MBS Compact Toilet collection includes a short-projection raised-height tornado rimless model alongside standard-height options. If height matters, compare the actual pan and finished seat height rather than relying on the product description alone. You can also browse our Back to Wall Toilets for more configurations.

7. What should I check before ordering a compact toilet?

Before ordering, confirm the total projection, pan width and height, P-trap or S-trap requirement, S-trap set-out, water inlet position and available clearance around the toilet. Also compare the flushing system and seat features. The current range includes rimless and tornado rimless models, with soft-close seats and 4 Star water ratings listed on the available suites. If replacing an existing toilet, take measurements and photos of both the waste and water connections rather than ordering from appearance alone.
