It features a gloss white finish and a contemporary round shape, made from durable vitreous china. This raised height pan is rimless for improved hygiene and UKCA compliant, backed by a 25-year RAK Ceramics warranty. Please note, the cistern and seat are sold separately. The Model Number is COMPAN750. This specialist compliant vitreous china WC pan is designed to meet Document M (Part M of the Building Regulations) requirements for accessible toilet facilities. At 750mm, the extended projection provides the additional space required for comfort and transfer access in accessible and assisted bathrooms, while the rimless bowl design improves hygiene standards. DOC M specification pans are a requirement in many commercial, healthcare, educational, and public access buildings where accessible facilities must be provided. The 750mm projection facilitates lateral transfer and comfortable positioning for users with limited mobility. The open back close coupled format provides straightforward installation and cistern accessibility. The rimless bowl eliminates the hidden internal rim where bacteria can accumulate, making deep cleaning faster and more effective. Vitreous china is the preferred material for high-traffic and healthcare environments — its non-porous fired glaze resists bacterial adhesion, is unaffected by the commercial cleaning agents used in healthcare settings, and maintains its gloss finish under intensive cleaning regimes. Requires the RAK Compact Side Lever Cistern (CO24AWHA) for DOC M compliance. Floor mounted. Carries a 25-year guarantee.
