How to properly install the toilet with your own hands: suspended, floor. Installation rules

When choosing a toilet, consider the size of the room in which it will be located. In addition, the combination of toilet tones, the rest of the plumbing and the style of the bathroom room should be properly selected.

More often in shops there are porcelain and faience toilet bowls, however sometimes it is possible to meet and metal. In the form of the toilet bowl, almost all are identical, except that they have some minor differences in size and placement of the release.

In most cases, toilets with floor fixings are used, which are the most familiar. It can be equipped with a special control panel.

It is also possible to meet wall hung hanging toilet bowls, thanks to which there is more free space in the room. Recently, all in more places you can find just such toilet bowls, as they are attached to a really convenient and new technology. Thanks to this model of the toilet, there is a chance to hide the drain tank in the wall. Most often in such toilet bowls the automatic flushing function is installed.

In general, there is a third version, the so-called "Asian toilet", which, with its installation, "sinks" to the floor, that is, it is on the same level with it. It is quite specific and is practically not used in Russia.

If you decide to change the toilet in the bathroom, then do not forget that you need to get rid of the old one first, and this can bring much more trouble than installing a new one.

The easiest way is for those owners who have an old toilet bowl installed on top of the tile in the toilet or bathroom. In this case, you just have to wring out the fixing bolts, scrape off the glue or hermetic grease that goes from the floor to the toilet and simply remove the toilet itself.

Much more difficult if your toilet is installed under the tile, because in this case it is poured with concrete and you can not get it manually by hand. In this case, you have to use a hammer or a perforator and just break the toilet. Before you start doing this, do not forget to wear protective goggles and gloves, because if your toilet is tiled, you can injure yourself with splinters. After you completely broke your toilet, you just have to remove the trash and cement the hole in the floor and that's it.

However, the owner can create a problem not only with the toilet.

The second problem can be the option of connecting the toilet itself to the sewer outlet. If the connection is made using a corrugated or plastic pipe, you can easily disconnect it from the toilet, put a new one and connect it back.

In case the toilet is connected to the sewer with a pipe made of cast iron, it's harder, because you will need to do everything carefully so as not to beat the cast iron. To do this, you will need to break the toilet and gently take it away from the cast iron pipe itself. After do not forget to clean the sewer pipe of the remnants of the tile.

You will be lucky if the base in the floor from the old toilet is suitable for a new one and you only have to screw a few screws. However, in some cases there is a problem here. It seems that the sizes have approached and all is well, but here you lower the dowels into the holes from the old fastening and realize that they are free to walk there. In this condition, you can not leave the toilet bowl in any case, because if the dowels are not tightly seated, the toilet will wobble, and at one point may fall at all. In this case, just as in the case of fastening, if it does not fit, you will have to drill holes in the floor. To do this, you need to choose a place where a fully assembled toilet seat will fit without problems and will reach the sewer pipe.

Preparatory Actions:

• it is necessary to close the water;
• close the sewer;
• prepare tools.

Required tools and materials:

• drill;
• drill bit for concrete;
• silicone sealant;
• adjustable wrench;
• dowels and bolts;
• drain hose;
• fan tube;
• marker.

The process of installing the outdoor toilet bowl:

• To begin with, try the toilet seat, setting it on the intended installation site. Mark the markings for the bolt fastening points and determine how much, it will be necessary to fit the fan tube. Connect the toilet bowl to the sewage system, treat all joints with sealant.
• In the finished holes, fix the dowels, if you have to drill through the tile, turn on the impact mode of the drill, otherwise the tile can not withstand the load and crack.
• Apply a sealant on the inside of the toilet bowl and allow it to dry thoroughly. Also apply sealant to the bottom of the toilet bowl. When everything is dry, install the toilet seat in its place and smoothly tighten the fastening bolts.
• Install the tank, following the instructions, and check it by filling it with water from the bucket. If there are no leaks, you can safely connect the tank to the water supply.

Suspended toilet models are much more convenient, they take up less space, making them well suited for premises with a small area. Moreover, such models can have antibacterial coverage and various technical innovations: backlighting, automatic drainage or a special system of dissectors. Suspended toilet bowls can withstand loads of up to four hundred kilograms. Keep clean in the bathroom will be much easier, which will certainly please the owners of the house.

And this is not the whole list of its advantages. The variety of forms, finishes and design solutions in the creation of hanging toilet bowls exceed the boldest expectations of buyers. In addition, the compactness of the toilet allows you to install with it and a bidet, even in a small bathroom.

Suspended toilet bowls are mounted on special metal frames, which then, together with the system of pipes and valves, are concealed by a false wall. Of course, this design will steal a little space from your bathroom, but in the aesthetic sense - this is a very profitable and fashionable solution.

If you decide to install the hanging toilet yourself, read the following step-by-step instructions:

All modern construction organizations engaged in building new buildings are guided by one project and therefore, all apartments are of the same type.

In such an apartment for installation of a suspended toilet bowl, you should choose a place next to the water and sewer riser.

After selecting the location, you need to install the frame. Typically, the frame itself is a conventional metal frame, fastened with screws to the wall and floor. Buy a frame you can in the building store, almost all of them fit most types of hanging toilet bowls.

The drain tank is installed inside the frame, , so you should understand that after installing the metal box itself you can no longer mount the tank there. Therefore, before installing the frame itself, assemble the drain tank and install it in such a way that a branch pipe emerges from it.

Once you have finished installing the frame, you should determine the option of supplying water to the barrel. There are two options for approach: side and top.

Virtually all barrels designed for wall-mounted toilet bowls are simultaneously designed for two options, so you only have to choose how it will be more convenient for yourself. Once you have decided, do not forget to hold the water pipe to the barrel.

The best way to choose the pipe material is to use plastic. If to compare with flexible rubber hoses, plastic pipes are much more durable. With this type of installation, it will be difficult to get to the metal frame, which will be hidden behind the false wall. Therefore, you should understand that replacing a water pipe to a barrel will be a very difficult task.

Panel for flushing, most likely, you will have to buy separately, as it is rarely found with toilet bowls and barrels. It is worth noting that not always, for the flushing of the suspended toilet bowl a storage tank is used. Sometimes a plumbing button is directly connected to the water pipe, inside of which there is a timer that allows you to stop water after pressing it after ten seconds. It is called a miracle of technology - the device of a drain keg under pressure.

Do not forget that the sewer output from the toilet is not yet connected to the common riser. Treat all the docking surfaces with sealant and connect the drain pipe to the sewage system. Now do not rush to close your metal frame with a fake wall. First you need to make sure that all the mechanisms are correctly connected and there are no faults anywhere.

Before installing the toilet, the false wall is often tiled. Do not forget that after you have mounted the false wall, it should take at least ten days for all the layers of the cladding to dry completely and during the installation of the toilet there are no problems with the peeling or cracking of the coating. The toilet is installed in the specially allocated for this place on the false wall, which you had to prepare in advance.

When the installation of the toilet itself is completed, the last detail remains - the installation of the flush button. In the instruction attached to the flush button, it is indicated in the example of the drawings how to do it correctly. Everything, on this installation of your hanging installation of your hanging toilet is successfully completed. If you did everything according to the instructions, then the next few years you definitely should not have any problems.

In a private house the toilet is installed practically on the same system as in the most common apartment. Attach the toilet itself to the floor with the help of the most common screws.

However, problems sometimes arise during the connection of the toilet itself to the sewer. To prevent this from happening, first of all you should familiarize yourself with the location of sewer pipes and the material from which they are made.

Typically, private houses install pipes made of gray cast iron, which are covered with a special solution, due to which, their corrosion resistance increases. If you have installed this type of pipe, then with the connection of the toilet to the sewer there will be no problems. During the connection simply do not forget to treat the pipes with anticorrosive solution, if you want your pipes not to deteriorate for many years.

In this issue there is nothing complicated, just do not forget to clean your toilet with special antibacterial chemicals and products that prevent the formation of calcareous deposits and urinary stone.

As for the whole sewage and pipeline system as a whole, so that you do not have any problems with them, it will be enough only once a month to pour a bucket of hot water into your toilet bowl and periodically use special chemicals that are designed to prevent blockages.
