Varieties and features of the installation of the toilet

The method and option of performing the installation of the toilet directly depends on its type, the material from which it is made and other individual characteristics of this device. However, certain norms are presented to all toilets, according to their installation:

• The optimal height of the toilet installation is about forty centimeters;
• the maximum static load that the toilet should withstand - two hundred kilograms;
• The minimum volume of the drain tank is six liters;
• For each toilet, special requirements are also imposed on the effectiveness and cleaning of the bowl inside.

In relation to the shape of the bowl, there are toilets:

• funnel -shaped;
• targeted;
• visor.

The first toilet version is characterized by high characteristics of hygiene, careful and instant purification. However, such toilets have a certain drawback in the form of a surge formation.

The second toilet has a design in the form of a flat platform in which waste accumulates. To cleanse the toilet, water is required, which is supplied to it under a large pressure. This bowl does not cause a surge, but has low hygiene.

The most popular toilet option is a visor. It differs in the presence of a certain ledge, with the help of which products are removed along the walls.

The main requirements for the bowl of the toilet is to ensure high -quality flushing. At the same time, in the ratio with the type of washing the toilets, there are several types.

Washing the toilet is direct and circular. With direct flushing, the water is supplied with more than one side. This system is characterized by a lower cost than circular. However, the quality of the rim also suffers. The circular system supplies water with a stream in a circle. At the same time, more than 96% of the toilet surface is processed. Some manufacturers produce toilets with a non -standard drain. In this case, the water completely fills the toilet, and then removes from it.

In the ratio with the material from which the toilet is built, devices are distinguished:

1. Faance type - not strong enough, porous, so they easily accumulate dirt and wash hard. They differ in affordable value, which is their main advantage.

2. Porcelain toilet - durable devices that differ in strength and ease of cleaning during operation. However, for the manufacture of such a toilet it is necessary to spend a lot of effort, and this affects its cost.

3. Steel and cast -iron toilets are less popular. Their installation is carried out in public places, since such a toilet is easy to wash. However, their cost is quite high and this is the shortcomings of the toilets of this type.

In addition, plastic toilets are distinguished, characterized by low durability and affordable cost. In addition, such toilets are made in various color variations. Plastic toilets are unstable before high temperature and mechanical damage.

Glass toilets are quite modern and expensive. The only advantage of such a toilet is unusual and sophistication.

In relation to the methods of fixing the toilets, they are:

1. In floor devices - are available in price and are easily installed. Their installation is carried out if the toilet has enough space for this. To fix the toilet, anchor type bolts are used. Dismantling the device at the site of its installation, almost nothing remains. If the room is small, then it is recommended to use flooring toilets of a prefabricated type. A certain type of floor toilet is set in the corner of the room. This device allows you to save space in the room.

2. The toilet of the suspended type - this device is intended for small rooms. These devices can withstand a load of more than 400 kg. Perhaps the addition of such a toilet with a bidet. To fix the bowl, a block or frame method is used. Using the frame, it is possible to fix the toilet more firmly. In addition, elements in the form of fittings and pipes are installed on the design. The depth of installation of such a toilet is about 15 cm, so it is impossible to perform their installation on fragile walls.

Installation of the toilet, instructions for performing work

Modern toilets have special holes with which they are fixed on the floor. Installation of this device is performed after the repair in the bathroom or bathroom. The floor tiles should already be laid by this time.

Installation work should begin with the connection of the toilet with sewage. For these purposes, the use of a corrugated wire is recommended. The rubber part of the corrugated pipe is moistened with water and put on the pipe located on the toilet.

Next, the toilet is installed in its location in the room. Then, the second end of the corrugation with the sewer pipe is carried out. On the toilet there are ears, through them a marker, indicate places of drilling holes on the floor.

After that, the toilet is disconnected from a corrugated pipe, pushed aside. At the same time, openings are made with the help of a perforator on the floor tile with which the toilet will be fixed on the floor.

To make holes, it will require special drills with winning tips. They will help to drill concrete or tiles. The toilet is installed in place and its combination is made with previously drilled holes.

In order to fix the toilet on the floor, use elongated screws with a hexagonal hat. Further work on the installation of the toilet is to seal the joints between it and the floor. Keep in mind that the tightening of the screws is carried out with particular caution, as there is a risk of damage to ceramics.

In the absence of ears on the surface of the toilet, its fixation is carried out using glue on an epoxy basis or using a cement solution. These methods of installing the toilet will be considered below.

INTALISTE installation options

There are several options for installing a tank and a toilet in a bathroom. The first of them implies a separate place for the location of the tank and toilet. The tank is installed closer to the ceiling, to connect it to the toilet use pipes of plastic or metal.

In order to perform washing, you should press a lever elongated by a rope or pen. The drain rate is quite high, which is the advantage of this toilet.

A more popular design is the installation of a tank and a toilet together. Thus, the tank is installed next to the toilet. At the same time, the installation of the toilet is greatly simplified.

The option of combining the toilet and the drain tank is possible, in the form of a monoblock. These devices are interconnected constructively. For their connection, rubber seals and bolts are used.

Another option is to use a hidden tank. In this case, it is possible to increase the space in the toilet. The option of installing a tank on the surface of the false wall is possible. On the surface near the toilet are elements in the form of buttons and levers.

Features of the installation of a suspended toilet

To fix the tank on the toilet bowl, several fasteners and rubber gaskets should be used. The gasket is put on the drain mechanism on the toilet. On the toilet there are certain holes, inside which two long bolts are installed. Next, the tank is installed in a particular place. In this case, three holes should be combined: two fixation and sewage.

To tighten the fasteners of the fasteners in the lower part of the toilet, you should use plastic nuts. The presence of special wings on their surface allows you to simplify the process of installing them.

Keep in mind that the use of keys is unacceptable, since the nut is installed and twisted manually.

Further actions to install the toilet independently consist in the connection of a drain tank with a water supply. In order to connect the drain system with the water supply, you should use the element in the form of a standard flexible hose. At each end of the hose, nuts must be installed. In order to make a seal, you should choose gaskets from rubber or use specialized equipment.

It is recommended to install a crane under the pipe, with which at any time you can block the water supply to the system.

The tile toilet is also connected to connect to the sewer system. This process is quite important, since the quality of the operation of the toilet depends on its correct conduct. There are three varieties of toilets in relation to the sewer pipe:

• The drain pipe is located in a direction parallel to the floor;
• The drain pipe is in a perpendicular position;
• The location of the angular pipe is 35-40 degrees.

Please note that if you are dismantling the old toilet and installing a new one, while the types of drain systems are unequal, then you should fit the sewer wiring for a new toilet.

Installation of the video:

The toilets with vertical release are not particularly popular. This device has a pipe that is located inside the bowl and is directed in relation to it down. This design is convenient to use, since the toilet is installed near the wall in any position.

The installation of such a toilet is quite simple and are as follows:

• make markings on the floor to install the toilet;
• Install a standard screw flange;
• Install the lock;
• Set the sewer pipe into the inside of the round hole;
• On the surface of the flange to install the reinforcement of the toilet;
• Install the sealing rings and press the pipe to the toilet itself;
• Check the performance of the device.

The toilets with horizontal issues are most popular. They are installed under a specific wall. To combine the toilet with the sewer, cuffs of the sealing type are used. In order to fix on the floor on the toilet, special ears are equipped, inside of which bolts are screwed. To fix the corrugation on the surface of the toilet, a sealant is used.

The toilets having a oblique release are established as follows:

• Lubricate the release on the toilet, for these purposes a solution of Olifa and Surik is used;
• Wrap the resin strands for the exhaust pipe, while you do not need to reach its end by half a centimeter, since the winding can get into the sewer and provoke the blockage;
• To lubricate the wound fabric, also use the sword;
• Install the toilet on the surface of the pipe, into the sewer pipes.

In order to combine the toilet with a fan pipe, cuffs of corrugated and eccentric type are used. With their help, elements are connected, which cannot dock with each other. Therefore, the fixation of the toilet on the floor is not performed until it is connected to the sewage system and plum.

The composition of eccentric cuffs contains two pipe. They are soldered with each other with the help of displaced centers. Due to this design, the toilet is easily connected to the sewer or input pipes. There are many eccentrics in relation to their length. Each of them is suitable for a special type of toilet.

Please note that the installation of an eccentric on the toilet is carried out without the use of various compounds of a hermetic nature. Since rubber seals are used to achieve tightness. However, if the sewage system in the house is old and made of cast iron, then the sealant still needs to be used.

If with the help of eccentric cuffs it is not possible to combine the toilet with the sewer, then the use of a corrugated cuff is recommended. It is easily stretched to the desired distance. In addition, corrugation is prone to deformation and connects the toilet to the sewer at any angle. This advantage allows you to connect the toilet in any conditions.

Next, the toilet cover should be installed. For its fixation, plastic or steel pins are used. After buying the seat, read the instructions for installing it. In the process of twisting of plastic screws, you should not overdo it, since there is a risk of breaking the seat.
