Video for repairing an apartment with your own hands - Installing a toilet seat video.
When installing the toilet with your own hands, the following tools will be needed: a spanner, an electric drill with drill bits for concrete, for sealing threads - a tape "fum", a screwdriver with nozzles, a core, a hammer, a corrugated pipe for connection to sewerage, silicone sealant. At the end of the instructions, watch the video on how to properly install the toilet yourself.
The floor must be flat( screed or tile).If the new toilet has the same mount as the old one, then you can install it on the old place. In this case, old dowels must be drilled and replaced with new ones. But if the holes are wider than the new dowels, you will have to drill new holes. If the old toilet bowl has been concreted, and after its dismantling there is a hollow in the floor, it is better to make a screed. The screed dries from 1 to 3 days( depending on the ingredients).It is necessary to wait for it to acquire the ability to hold the dowels securely.
On the floor it is necessary to make a marking for the toilet seat and under the mount. To ensure that the drill does not walk through the tile, it is possible to make small chips at the drilling sites, then it will be possible to drill neat holes. The dowels are jammed into the holes. Dowels must sit tightly, the stability of the toilet bowl depends on this. Fastening is bolted to the floor by bolts. The assembled toilet bowl is installed and screwed. Bolts should be tightened alternately and evenly.
Gofra is a flexible pipe with a lot of membranes, thanks to which it is securely attached to the entrance to the sewer and to the toilet bowl. The corrugation is necessary in order to be able to vary the location of the toilet bowl and the angle of its connection. The socket of the toilet bowl should be greased with a sealant, and then put on the corrugation. The corrugated hole is inserted into the sewer hole until it stops.
For connecting cold water, you can use a copper tube or a flexible hose made of metal plastic. If the cold water pipe has an internal thread, then an adapter is required. The adapter is placed with the use of a packet. The tube or hose is connected to the cold water supply. Then you need to open the tap and drain some water, so all the garbage will come out of the tube. Closing the tap, connect the second end of the tube( tube) to the tank. A compulsory condition when installing the toilet bowl by hand on the video is the absence of contact with the ceramic nuts and other metal fasteners. Therefore, it is necessary to use rubber or plastic gaskets.
All connected, start the water, test for leaks in the connections. Water from the tank should be drained several times, to make sure there is no leakage in the sewer connections. After an hour, all connections should be inspected once more.
