Anyone wire a Toto Model #MS980CMG-01 Neorest 550 Dual Flush One Piece Toilet?

According to what I found online, the specs show it at 120 volts, 1284 watts. The picture shows it being plugged into a Gfci protected circuit. Can the receptacle be placed behind the toilet?

Absolutely. That's not only typical, but preferred. Roughly in the area of the water supply stop valve.

I placed the outlet down low on the lh side same height as the cold water stub. That's one outlet I'd rather not service later on down the line.

Never done one, but I'm sure it would be OK. I would try and go as high away from the plumbing as possible. There is a pic on Google that shows behind it but I'm on my phone.

That's what I do-- behind the toilet you may not ever be able to access so I put it just off the edge of the commode

THere is an access panel on each side of these things to get in there to plug it in. It's really no different than how you set a receptacle for a refrigerated drinking fountain. Just keep it out of the way of the cold water stub out, and you're fine. Just make darned sure that the whole receptacle will be fully behind the toilet with the cover plate installed.

I agree but you don't want it behind the part that goes to the floor- dead center..... you wouldn't be able to install the outlet or plug the unit in.

Some things like this I'll pre-wire the receptacle and stuff it back into the box sideways to save some effort come trim out time. The Toto's are simple easy to pull, tough. They don't use a wax ring. They're on the flange with a rubber gasket of sorts. On a semi-related side note, as I age I get harrier in the most forsaken places. These things are looking better and better.

I question whether that is technically compliant-- I do not want to do plumbing work to change out a receptacle-- screw that-- off to the side but still behind the unit for me. Heck the cord will be exposed...

Okay, looking at the the toilet from the front, the water will be to the left in the back and I can install the receptacle on the right hand side close to the water shutoff? Also, does 1184 watts sound right for the toilet power consumption? Can't find much information on this type of toilet.

Sucker looks good to me. Heated seat, heated front, rear and soft wash water, heated air dryer, auto seat lifter, remote control, auto flush... Lotta heating going on there.

Several years ago I wired a $250? toilet seat that did the power wash n dry and required a GFCI on a dedicated circuit. They had come from Japan and missed the premium toilet seat experience. I don't recall the exact location but it was in the wall that the toilet was against and under the tank, so yes.

Ive wired a few dedicated circuit GFCI's behind the toilet.. I always use a deep box, and leave at least 1' of conductors in the box, so its not a horrible pain to replace down the road. You would be surprised how much wire you can stuff in a box behind a gfci if you fold it in correctly.

The last one I wired got loaded from the sink gfci. Hope she doesn't blow dry her hair while sitting on her heated toilet seat.
