Ruhe Western Toilets: One-Piece and Wall-Hung Western Commodes
Ruhe sells ceramic western commodes, also called western toilets, western toilet seats or English toilets. There are two kinds: one-piece commodes that stand on the floor with the tank built in, and wall-hung commodes that fix to the wall with the cistern hidden inside it. Every Ruhe commode comes with a soft-close seat cover. This guide helps you pick the right type, check that it fits your bathroom's drain, and know what else you need.

Types of Western Toilets
One-Piece Western Commodes
The bowl and tank are one piece of ceramic, so there is no joint between them to collect dirt or leak. It stands on the floor and is fixed with screws through the base. It suits most Indian homes because it needs no wall work.
- Models: Athos, Dune, Fabia, Harp, Nova, Scala, Toro, Vero and Vox
- Dual flush fittings fitted inside the tank
- See all One-Piece Commodes
Wall-Hung Western Commodes
The commode is fixed to the wall with bolts and the flush tank, called a concealed cistern, sits hidden inside the wall. The floor below stays clear, so you can mop right under it. It needs a concealed cistern and a strong wall, so it is best planned when the bathroom is being built or redone.
- Models: Arna, Blanco, Crystal, Risa, Rossa, Summer and Tera
- Needs a concealed cistern, sold separately

Will It Fit? S-Trap and P-Trap
Before you buy a one-piece commode, check where your drain pipe comes out.
- S-Trap: the drain pipe is in the floor. Measure from the finished wall to the centre of the drain pipe. This is the S-Trap distance, and the commode must match it.
- P-Trap: the drain pipe comes out of the wall behind the commode.
| S-Trap distance | Ruhe models |
|---|---|
| 200 mm | Fabia |
| 220 mm (most common in India) | Athos, Nova, Toro, Vox |
| 300 mm | Harp, Vero |
| S-Trap or P-Trap option | Dune, Scala (check the product page for the distance) |
Flush Types
- Siphonic flush: pulls the water out of the bowl in one go and is quiet. Toro and Fabia.
- Washdown flush: pushes the water through a wide outlet, so it is hard to clog. Harp and Rossa.
- Dual flush: a small flush for liquids and a full flush for solids. Fabia uses 2 L / 4 L, Harp 3 L / 6 L and Toro 4 L / 6 L.
What Else Do You Need?
- A health faucet or jet spray for washing
- An angle valve for the water supply to the tank
- For wall-hung commodes, a concealed cistern
