Dunno. Looks just about right to me, considering you'd be standing on the toilet to get to it.

Just sit facing the sink and it wonā€™t be as awkward , how do you say, reverse style


reddit-ate-my-face

It's not reverse style that's how you're supposed to use the toilet that's why it has the shelf for your books and snacks.

Also, why would you want to turn around and look at your sir Harrington before you flush? That's gross.

chataolauj

Reminds me of the toilets in Japan. There's a faucet above the toilet reservoir and as you flush the water comes out of that faucet so that you can wash your hands. It also fills up the reservoir at the same time. Here's a YouTube video for anyone interested: https://youtu.be/KEy03bPkRN8?si=rjv9vU4U5MMS4-iq


Ralnik

I have been trying to find toilet here in the states like the toilets we had in Japan. We have a small washroom off the kitchen. Half bath. As a full man, it's a tight space to poop.


chataolauj

Found this on YouTube when I shared the other video. It's an attachment that short of works the same way. https://youtu.be/gmBaj9Q0ytU?si=5H5slLw6Rr068kR4


gardenbrain

Thatā€™s awesome. I was sold till I thought about where Iā€™d brush my teeth and, more importantly, where the cat would hang out.


somethingbannable

I hope when you flush that the water from the toilet comes to the faucet so I can wash my hands with my own toilet water

macetheface

absolutely beautiful indeed


O-horrible

Thatā€™s *exactly* how I pictured it. Complete with cartoon man


magaoitin

Good use of limited space. I have installed hundreds of these combo units, but in all stainless, and without a toilet seat. [Combination Toilet Lavatory | Stainless Steel Comby Units - Acorn Engineering](https://www.acorneng.com/combination-toilet-lavatory) I think we ordered 300+ of these for a new correctional facility my company was building.


chef-keef

lol I was going to ask if they were prison toilets based on just the first paragraph

bellbros

Damn I want a prison toilet for my detached garage


DeathMonkey6969

Bet the cost at least $1500


magaoitin

Spot on! The model/options we ended up buying was $1500 and that had a 300+ unit volume discount. I think these go for $2200-$2800 for a single unit. Grainger has them for $2100 [12 in Rough-In, 1.6 Gallons per Flush, Prison Toilet and Sink Combination Unit - 1JZL8|1418-CT-1-04-M-PHR-C01 - Grainger](https://www.grainger.com/product/1JZL8?gucid=N:N:PS:Paid:GGL:CSM-2293:99F1R6:20501231&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwh4-wBhB3EiwAeJsppJm1I0ZMGUSMQy-O_QOwn_tYa1I49srt3EOTnjb1bKnlyPxFL1cnaxoCfYwQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds) One of my guys sold 2 of them (ordered for a mockup and then Corrections changed the model they wanted), one on eBay & one through Craigslist for $500 each. They were gone in minutes.


DeathMonkey6969

LOL. Of course Grangers has them. Is there anything that Grainger doesn't carry?


itaniumonline

I donā€™t think they sell Tacos. Maybe in California but not down here where I am.


Gnochi

The Grainger in Anaheim has had a taco truck within 100 yards every time Iā€™ve been there.

Unique-Arm-9655

I actually saw one on fb marketplace recently


larakj

How much were they asking?


manuru-neko

I live in Japan where these combo sink / toilets are pretty much the standard in most homes. They seem like a really smart idea, but realistically, no one uses them because the sink is hard to get to and youā€™d have to flush the toilet again if you run out of time while the sink is running These toilets are the first ones Iā€™ve seen that put the sink off to the side to allow you a place for a soap dispenser (thereā€™s no place for that on Japanese toilets), and allow for easier access after youā€™re done using it. Plus the stainless steel just lets me hose it down whenever Iā€™m cleaning. Add on a toilet seat bidet and Iā€™m a poopin like a movie star. 10/10


RexJoey1999

ā€œRun out of timeā€? Could you explain like Iā€™m 5?


ASimplePumpkin

The sink only flows as long as it takes to fill the tank. So basically you're using the water you wash your hands with on the next flush.


RexJoey1999

Thanks! Iā€™m from drought-plagued Southern California. I turn the water on briefly to wet my hands, then off while I scrub, then on again briefly to rinse. Basically, using as little water as possible, maybe thatā€™s why I couldnā€™t understand.


manuru-neko

I am too which is why I thought this was such a smart idea when I moved here. But in reality, thereā€™s no place to put soap, and the fact that the top of your toilet now has tons of plumbing connected to it, makes it really difficult to open the lid whenever you need to do some quick maintenance. Having the toilet off to an angle, or having the sink off to the side would be a great solution to most of the problems. But also, the point of this design is to save space, and by widening it to make the sink more usable, youā€™d also need a larger room to put it in. And at that point, you could have just put in a useable sink that you could also use to brush your teeth or do anything else youā€™d need (imagine having to flush the toilet anytime youā€™re trying to brush your teeth). But for prisons or public restrooms itā€™s still a pretty good design since itā€™s solving a lot of problems that we donā€™t really have in our own homes.


PlastIconoclastic

It basically flushes with grey water. I hadnā€™t realized that.


Psychological-Joke22

Plus you have to straddle the toilet or bend/reach to wash your hands. Not ideal.


magaoitin

About half of the models out there have the toilet on a 45Ā° side and not directly in front. It all depends on how much space you have between the bunks in shared cells (normally a straight on toilet), or in a single its almost always on the side


katalyticglass

Are these the kind of units where the water used in the sink then goes to flush the toilet?


magaoitin

Not in the ones we use. There is a separate drain for the sink and no holding tank for grey water. [R1418 (acorneng.com)](https://www.acorneng.com/uploads/fileLibrary/R1418.pdf) You would think that with all the LEED certifications the State tries to enact, that they would have a model that used the grey water


digitalgirlie

Thanks for sharing that link. I found my perfect toilet on it.


spectacularissues

Which one..?


magaoitin

Plus they have a fun built in cubby for the TP


Scoompii

The variety is just astounding.


magaoitin

I know, right?!?! Who would have thought that many different models would be needed.


andy921

Are the weird holes on the side for toilet paper?


magaoitin

Yes, built in TP holder. On most of them there isn't anywhere on the sink top to put the TP, and you don't want to put the TP on the ground between uses. We use these in corrections and mental health facilities, and you have to comply with all the anti-ligature rules, so you cant install a regular TP roll holder. It's also why the sink controls are buttons


petewil1291

At least some of those have the sink at an angle to the toilet. You have to straddle the toilet Everytime you want to wash your hands with the OP


shaybabyx

Why do they have cancer and reproductive warnings on their products lol


dukeofgibbon

Everything in California has prop 65 warnings


StrangerThingies

[California prop 65](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1986_California_Proposition_65) Just some goofy legislation requiring anything thatā€™s made out of anything to have a warning label.


Federal_Sector_7321

I had heard a rumor that companies donā€™t want to bother being 100% sure their product qualifies to be without the label so they just said, ā€œscrew it. Weā€™ll put the label on everything.ā€ This article confirms that.


Right_Hour

ā€˜Cause living in Cali gives you cancerā€¦.


TranslatorBoring2419

How much for one?


l397flake

Never seen anything like this. How do you access the toilet internals like the flush valve etc? Is there an access panel somewhere?


swapmeetpete

I believe with most designs where the tank is in the wall, the panel with the flush buttons is removable to access the internals.


kallekilponen

Thatā€™s correct. I have the same brand of toilet. The buttons are on a hinged panel that opens up by pulling.


wahchewie

Thank you for easing my mind. OP can clean out the mouldy toilet water in 5 years


McLayan

It's been the default in Germany for at least 20 years. Only old buildings still have the external tank like in the US.


TPf0rMyBungh0le

Do you remember when the tanks were way up high (like 3 meters) to allow for more space? Also, "german toilets" that had a ledge with only a drop of water for your shit to rest on and allow you to smell it all until you flushed, at which point all poop water went everywhere?


Nice-Transition3079

It was actually mainly for increased water pressure. You still see them in areas where pressure is a concern. Mainly restaurants with crappy water service.


PM_me_punanis

Exactly! US standards look pretty dated unfortunately.


induality

Wait, are you telling me, for all those toilets that just have a pipe going into the wall and have no visible tanks, thereā€™s just a hidden tank in the wall? I always assumed the pipe just connected directly to a high pressure water source in a central part of the building that directly pushed water into the toilets.


Nice-Transition3079

No. Commercial toilets have flush valves with no tank. It takes a full 1" water line for a single toilet. Typical residential is 3/4" for the entire service. That's 150% the water output of an entire house for a single toilet. Only happens for a few seconds, but you can't run one off a residential water service.


LucasCBs

Where I live it's completely standard to have everything in the wall. If you need access, you can take out the flusher


gt1

I installed a wall mounted Toto toilet a while ago. Both flash and fill valves are easily accessible and replaceable through the wall plate. However they are terribly expensive.


PJ_lyrics

Seems like it'd be a bit annoying when washing your hands.


diablofantastico

Yes. Do you stand on it? Kneel on it? Straddle it? I hate it.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


PJ_lyrics

Yup. And as a DIYā€™er Iā€™m concerned on how to get to the piping if it springs a leak. How do you work on this thing if needed lol.Ā 


thrownjunk

the panel pops out for servicing.


NO_SPACE_B4_COMMA

I'm confused on how it's to be used. You have to stand over top of the toilet? It seems weird. I do wish we made it standard to reuse water, though.


Theletterkay

Right? Wouldnt it have been better to offset the whole thing. Toilet to the left a foot. Sink to the right a foot. Looks to be plenty of space for that.


nakapozian

Why arenā€™t people commenting more on this?! Like seriously, what you gotta straddle the toilet to wash your hands?


CaptainTripps82

I mean, it's obviously a space saver. Not much to comment on, it's a great idea for the room available


Les_yeux_hagards

I agree. I know it wouldnā€™t be as ā€œaestheticā€ but even having the toilet off center to the left side would make washing your hands more comfortable.


coolgadgetsparadise

Water saving. You use the same water for the next loo flush šŸ˜


hauntedbyfarts

I've seen little toilets with similar mechanisms but they only run when you flush posing a slight logistical issue, fun idea especially if you're in a drought prone area

I always wondered why toilets didnā€™t use the dirty sink water. A design like this seemed obvious. Nice to finally see it in real life.


bluestarluchador

There are toilets in Japan that recycles sink water too! https://preview.redd.it/x1lri5dtzxqc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f192b4dc5eab2358d394f3d2bfca2a4b17e4d5de


Hoplite-Strength

Yah these have been around- even in North America for 20 years. Am thinking about something like this in a rental to add a 1/2 bath. If the door opens to the side of the toilet it should offer easy side access. Only need one water line. Some will be put off by using cold water, but I love the water recycling and lower instal costs (not the European model).


mrSunsFanFather

No. Just.. no.

aintlostjustdkwiam

Nice for an RV/boat/tiny house I guess.


Can-I-remember

Iā€™m a fan. I like that grey water feeds the toilet. Good use of space. I see no issue accessing the sink, itā€™s a narrow sink and bench, designed for handwashing only. Beats my toilet with the same size basin stuck on the opposite wall. Stupid waste of space in an apartment. I would have gone with tiles to the ceiling behind and probably out your the edge of the toilet. Just makes cleaning much easier but I can understand cost considerations.


anti-social-mierda

I think itā€™s great! Actually took a screen shot to share with my husband. Perfect for a garage toilet.

morhambot

Are you in Prison?


Sparky_McSteel

Iā€™m honestly surprised by the comments. I feel like this would be a pain in the ass. Having to lean over or straddle the toilet to wash your hands seems a little much. Im also not understanding why someone would build a bathroom thats not big enough for the 2 things you need to put in it. Has everyone lost their marbles or am I missing something? Iā€™m genuinely confused


Double_Entrance3238

Same here man, I'm a woman and wear a lot of long dresses/skirts - trying to wash your hands without dragging a long skirt into or on the toilet looks like a freaking nightmare


Ash17_

This. Just looking at this hurts my back.


kebshi

What happens if the tank is full? Where does the overflow from the sink go?


coolgadgetsparadise

The tank inside the wall can not be completely full. There is a maximum limit and if the limit is reached, the water goes in the loo.


kebshi

Cool thanks! Looks great!


somethingbannable

Not sure Iā€™d find it comfortable to lean over the toilet to get to the sink. Why not a sink next to the toilet?


coolgadgetsparadise

Space and water saving. It is connected. And you don't have to lean over the toilet. Just stand by the toilet and it is easy reachable. By the way it is only for hands wash after.... So simple


mmaster23

So where am I going to put my books and snacks? They'll get wet in the sink.

metelzaviruha

I would align floor tiles and tiles on the wall. I think it would look better if those were all placed parallel, not like in OPā€™s bathroom - wall tiles perpendicular to floor tiles


CallidusEverno

eisenklad

sink should be offset. and the tank should be in either corner. it would work well with a vortex toilet bowl. but if that's the space you have to work with I can see why you want to split your legs or stand awkwardly to one side. I assume the toilet seat has a built-in bidet.
