Claim:
A method for supporting a wall mounted toilet above a floor surface comprising the steps of: a) providing a support system for a wall mounted toilet comprising: i) a waste discharge conduit; ii) a faceplate, the faceplate comprising: a body which defines a circular receiving hole extending therethrough, the circular receiving hole receiving the waste discharge conduit; and a support member extending from at least one surface of the body configured to contact the floor surface, thereby adapted to support the wall mounted toilet; iii) an off-set pipe coupling comprising: a curved pipe having a first end and a second end, the curved pipe being curved less than 90° at both the first end and the second end; a first plate coupled to and surrounding the first end of the curved pipe at a furthest extent of the curved pipe, the first plate having an oblong circular central hole in fluid communication with the curved pipe and a plurality of screw holes positioned around a peripheral area thereof; and a second plate coupled to the second end of the curved pipe, the second plate having a central hole in fluid communication with the curved pipe and a plurality of screw holes positioned around a peripheral area thereof; and iv) a plumbing system; b) coupling the first plate of the off-set pipe coupling to the faceplate such that the central hole thereof is positioned in fluid communication with the round receiving hole of the body of the faceplate and the waste discharge conduit; and c) coupling the second plate to the plumbing system, wherein the curved pipe of the off-set coupling provides fluid communication between the waste discharge conduit and the plumbing system.
