Hidealoo installation

Installing Hidealoo is straightforward and this video gives an overview of what is required. You can also download our Installation Manual to see the step by step process in more detail, along with the range of tools needed.

Cabinet installation

As every installation is different, we are not yet supplying cabinets. This gives you total control over the type and colour of cabinet you want for your location and means you can match it to your existing décor or larger bathroom suite installation project.

Just as with any bathroom cabinet installation, your plumber will be able to do this, or you, if a competent DIYer.

The minimum dimensions of a cabinet and a guide how to make a cabinet and install Hidealoo in it can be found here.

Waste exit configurations

Hidealoo can be configured to work with whichever waste exit orientation your installation requires, whether it’s rear, sideways or down. It’s delivered to fit rear exit, so if you need a side exit please order a support bracket LS01 from Hidealoo to allow the conversion. If you want a downwards exit, then a standard, inexpensive, male-female 90º corner will be needed from your local plumbing merchant.

These drawings highlight the different waste exit configurations in relation to the minimum dimensions for installing a Hidealoo and the cabinet to hide your toilet.
