IMEX Ivan Rimless Short Projection Skirted Comfort Height Close Coupled Pan

With its sleek profile and proven IMEX build quality, the Ivan Rimless Short Projection Skirted Comfort Height Close Coupled Pan (C10176ACR) makes a smart, future-proof choice for any bathroom refit.

About Close-Coupled WCs

A close-coupled toilet pairs the WC pan and cistern together in one self-contained unit - the cistern sits directly on top of the pan with no exposed pipework between them. This makes close-coupled toilets quicker to install than back-to-wall or wall-hung alternatives, and easier to repair (all parts accessible). They suit family bathrooms, en-suites and rental properties where reliability and serviceability matter most. Pair this pan with the matching IMEX cistern and a soft-close seat for a complete close-coupled WC.

Installation Notes

Close-coupled WCs are typically installed by a plumber in 1-2 hours. You'll need: the matching cistern (sold separately or as part of the IMEX suite), a soft-close seat, a standard 14mm flexi-tail isolating valve for water supply, and a 100mm soil pipe connection. Allow ~30 minutes for ceramic to settle on silicone before attaching the cistern.

Care & Maintenance

Clean with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive bathroom cleaner. Avoid bleach on the seat surface (it can discolour plastic) and scouring pads on the ceramic (they leave fine scratches that hold dirt). Vinegar diluted 1:5 with water is a good limescale remover. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning to prevent residue marks.
