Fienza Koko Tornado Flush Back-to-Wall Toilet Suite

A wall faced toilet (also called a close-coupled toilet suite) features a cistern that sits directly on top of and flush against the rear of the toilet pan, creating a seamless back panel. The back of the unit sits flat against the wall, giving a cleaner look than older exposed-plumbing models. Wall faced toilets are the most common toilet suite type sold in Australia and suit both modern and traditional bathrooms.

Yes. The seamless junction between the cistern and pan on a wall faced toilet eliminates the gap found on older toilet suites, reducing the areas where dirt and bacteria can accumulate. Pair this with a rimless bowl design and you have a toilet that's significantly easier to keep clean than traditional rimmed models.

The standard rough-in (distance from the wall to the centre of the drainpipe) for Australian toilets is typically 140mm or 165mm. Always check the specification of both your existing plumbing and your chosen toilet before purchasing. Wall faced suites are designed to connect to floor-mounted plumbing, which is standard in most Australian homes.

In Australia, toilets carry a WELS (Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards) rating from 1 to 6 stars. Most modern wall faced toilet suites achieve a 4-star rating or higher, using 4.5/3L dual flush. Some premium models like the Caroma Cleanflush range achieve 5 stars with as little as 3/4.5L per flush. A higher WELS rating means lower water bills and less environmental impact.

A rimless toilet has no inner rim channel under the bowl's lip. Traditional rimmed toilets have a concealed channel through which water flows during flushing, this channel is difficult to clean and can harbour bacteria and limescale. A rimless toilet flushes water directly across the entire bowl surface in a powerful swirling action, ensuring a thorough clean with every flush and leaving no hidden areas for bacteria to grow.
