In some cases it is possible, but typically you would select a product based on whether your plumbing is going to be set up for either BI or BE.

A Back to Wall Toilet Suite or (Wall Faced Toilet Suite) sits flush against the wall meaning there are no gaps or no exposed plumbing.  These toilets are more modern in their look and feel and are much easier to clean.

If the pan outlet runs through to the floor, you have an S Trap pan.  If the outlet runs through to the wall, then it is a P Trap pan.  If you have an older style bathroom you may have a skew pan, it has a pipe that extends to the left or right of the toilet pan.

As we mentioned above, it is really important to understand your set-out requirements.  ‘Set-outs’ refers to the distance from the wall to the centre of the toilet waste outlet in the floor for S Trap toilet suites or the floor to the centre of the waste outlet in the wall for P Trap toilet suites.  The set-out will help you understand what toilet suites can or cannot be installed in your bathroom.
