Ruhe Indian Toilet: Ceramic Orissa Pan
An Indian toilet, also called an Orissa pan or squatting pan, is a ceramic toilet fixed level with the floor, with raised foot-rests on both sides. Ruhe's Orissa pan is white ceramic with a glazed finish and textured foot-rests. It comes in 23 x 18 x 12 inches and 21 x 16.5 x 11 inches.
What Else Do You Need?
- A flush: a wall-mounted PVC flush tank such as Atlantic or Pacific (8 litres, single or dual flush), or a flush valve that flushes straight from the water line
- A health faucet for washing, fixed beside the pan
- An angle valve for the water supply to the flush tank
Indian or Western Toilet?
An Indian toilet uses a natural squatting position, costs less and is easy to keep clean. A western commode is easier for older family members and people with bad knees.
- Warranty: 10-year warranty on the ceramic body. See the Warranty T&C.
- Installation: the pan is set into the floor by a plumber and mason; Ruhe's Home Installation does not cover Indian toilets.
Care
Clean with mild soap or a mild, non-acid cleaner and a soft brush. Avoid acid and abrasive cleaners, which can dull the glaze.
