Toilet bowl with concealed( built-in) toilet bowl: choice, side, hanging and floor

Today we'll talk about toilets with hidden tanks. This is a very convenient kind of sanitary ware for the simple reason that upon completion of installation it takes up a minimum of space inside your toilet. Consequently, there is more space for the implementation of design intentions, installation of additional sanitary ware, some household appliances and so on.

Let's take a closer look at what this type of tank is.

The key nuances of the hidden tank include four things.

• Material. The hidden tank is not like the usual tanks that we see on standard toilet bowls. First of all, we are talking about the material used to make it. Manufacturers use strong polyethylene, plastic.
• Shape. All of you know what a toilet bowl is and how it usually looks. But in the case of hidden reservoirs, the situation is somewhat different. These tanks resemble canisters, which are deprived of anything except the handles in their construction. Such a canister has several holes for connection to the sewage system, a water pipe, plus special lugs that allow to fix the product inside the wall.
• Intended use. Similar "canisters" are used in case if it is required to install a floor or hanging type of toilet bowl.
• Method of installation. Some models can be mounted exclusively on strong, bearing walls, for others, and more thin partitions. We'll talk about this a little later.

These types of toilet bowls have serious advantages. In many ways they led to the fact that the hidden tanks have gained such popularity in the market of sanitary equipment. Increasingly, consumers tend to this option.

The main virtues include.

1. High hygienic performance. The main part of the dust settles on the tank settling in the toilet. Hiding the tank in the wall, you get rid of the dust collector. Together with the tank hide communications, unsightly pipes, podvodku and other nipples. The muddy room becomes easy. Especially when it comes to pendant models.

1. Quiet work. Being behind the wall, the work of the tank during filling and descent of water is almost unnoticeable.

1. Excellent ergonomics. Installation systems offer an excellent opportunity to install toilets at different points in the premises, use corners for this.

1. Attractive design. Buck often frankly spoils the appearance of the room. Having got rid of it by installing it into the wall, you will create a more interesting, beautiful interior of the sanitary unit.

1. Reliable and long-lasting operation. The construction of the built-in tanks is very carefully developed, using high-strength materials, reliable fittings. This allows a long time not to worry about the efficiency of the device. In the event of a breakdown of the valve, it will be possible to reach it through the drain button. For situations with a tank overflow, manufacturers also provided protection - a tap. Through it, water will go into the sewer, and therefore be afraid of flooding the apartment is not worth it.

With all the advantages, there are still disadvantages to hidden tanks. There are not many of them, but it's worth paying attention to them.

1. Price. The cost of the purchase, and especially the installation is quite large. This is a relatively new development, which is worth its money, if only because it is much more reliable and efficient than its counterparts. For such an extensive list of benefits will have to pay. Over time, the money spent begins to justify itself.

1. Installation. It is difficult to independently install such a design if you do not have the skills and at least minimal experience. In order not to complicate your life, and also not to risk new plumbing, entrust installation works to professionals. Their services will have to be paid, but you will be sure of the result.

The toilet bowl having a concealed tank is divided into two main types:

• Extension;
• Suspended.

The device of each of them is different, therefore we will consider separately.

This is a monolithic construction that fits snugly against the wall with its housing, thereby closing all available communications. During installation, the type of release plays an important role. The toilet bowl should be chosen based on what type of release is provided inside your sanitary unit.

The standard tank is not used here. Instead, flat "canisters" are used, which are hidden under the thickness of the wall. Unlike the installation, special toilet frames are not required for the attached toilet bowls, which hold the user. The tank is simply mounted in the wall and is "sewn up" with plasterboard or other finishing materials.

Here we have already talked about a mounting rugged frame that includes the tank mountings. The tank is mounted in this construction, creating a single whole.

There is a variant of the frame, which rests against the floor. It is relevant for those cases when the walls of the room are not strong enough and reliable.

It is advisable to entrust installation of suspension models to professionals. But this does not prevent you from knowing how this type of work is carried out.

1. It is necessary to purchase a toilet bowl, a tank, and also the installation system itself.
2. Determine the height that will be optimal for you and the rest of the family. As practice shows, the height of the bowl relative to the floor level is 40 cm.
3. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to install the installation. It can be a floor or wall system, the installation of which differs from each other.
4. The frame has special pins, necessary for fixing the toilet itself, as well as clamps for connecting a plastic tank with water.
5. In this case, the most important thing is to select the components correctly, so that each element corresponds to the others, you did not have to perform complicated works on connecting to the sewerage or water supply.
6. Upon completion of the installation, it will be necessary to fix the installation with plasterboard, glaze it in accordance with the finishing materials that you use to repair the plumbing unit.

We have prepared for you all two councils, which experts consider most important in the case of the installation and operation of the concealed tanks of the toilet bowl. Therefore pay special attention to them before you start the installation.

1. Coarse filter. Be sure to place it on a pipe that performs the function of supplying liquid inside the tank. The device is not expensive, but it protects the valve from rapid wear and blockages. You do not have to carry out regular preventive maintenance, dismantle and mount the drain button again and again.

1. Breakage is possible, even if it is a filter, high quality products are used. Plus prevention, which is mandatory for any plumbers. All this makes it necessary to have access to the device. The drain button in this case is not the best assistant, because it is difficult to work through. Therefore, experts recommend to make a special hatch enough size in the false wall, which you carry out after the installation. Having such access, you will not have problems with repair, preventive maintenance or replacement of accessories.

At the same time, the most important recommendation is a little different - the purchase of products of proven quality, in reliability and longevity of which there is no doubt. Once you decided to install the hidden version of the tank, then act competently, get the product with the characteristics that will meet your requirements. It is not superfluous to consult with experts who are involved in the installation. They can advise good models for an acceptable amount. Do not be afraid to ask for advice in those things that you do not understand much.
