Stuck with rear outlet toilet - could Duravit Happy D work?

My condo is stuck with rear outlet toilets. After much searching, the Duravit Happy D d14023 is the only thing I have found that looks modern/stylish.

On the Duravit website on this page under Technical Drawings, there are some diagrams that show where all the pipes go. My concern is that the pipes won't line up.

My existing toilet seems to have a pipe that is centered about 4 inches off the ground (see attached image), but the Happy D drawings show the pipe centered at about 7 inches off the ground. In their drawings, they show that you can set up the pipe inside in different ways. My question is can a plumber angle the pipes so they can connect?

This is the connection kit. I don't know many plumbers that would have the right fittings for that to move it 3" in that short of space.


The Happy D uses an in-wall tank.

I have the exact same problem as the original poster (just in NYC). I haven't found any clear answers on this yet, so I'm hoping someone here can help. The particular toilet I'm asking about is the D14023: http://www.duravit.us/website/homep...overview/series/us_toilets.us-en.html/p-93025.

That model of the Happy D is actually floor-mounted and uses a normal tank (ie, not in-wall). The specs and dimensions (same as original posters) are under the "technical drawings" link.

Would it be possible to install this toilet (with the outlet ~7" from the ground) when the existing toilet's rear outlet appears to be ~4" from the ground?

It may NOT be a question of "angling" the pipe up 3", because if your vertical pipe is BEHIND the toilet, the only solution may be to RAISE the connection to the correct location.
