Toilet bowls with vertical outlet in the floor: pros and cons, installation

A modern range of sanitary ware amazes with variety. Of all this abundance one has to choose one thing. It is not possible to focus exclusively on personal tastes, preferences, external aspects of the toilet bowl, as it is trivial not to correspond to the type of sewerage, your proportions.

Models with vertical output are quite popular, although less in demand than analogs. Let's talk about them in more detail.

Such toilet bowls have gained immense popularity in Europe, while in Russia they are rare. They are designed for installation inside old houses.

Today they are recommended for installation in private cottage houses. Their key feature is the configuration - the siphon and outlet pipe are mounted in the product itself.

They are installed in a variety of ways, because they are not tied to the wall. Thanks to the design features, the plumbing is installed close to the wall, thereby saving space.

Let's consider the main advantages of plumbing products with vertical output:

• Extends the boundaries of planning, allows you to choose the location of installation;
• The compactness of the installation makes it possible to save space inside the room, take it with additional plumbing fixtures, furniture;
• The water level in the toilet is high, which ensures hygiene of the product;

• The presence of a built-in siphon provides a powerful force to draw waste from flushing;
• Water does not splash when drained;
• The tank has a solid and reliable design.

Serious drawbacks vertical WC type does not have:

• Need to cut a single hole in the plate when installing;
• Limited assortment, which leads to quite complex searches for the necessary plumbing.

The main nuance is the presence of a built-in siphon and a concealed hose. As a result, the product is mounted in any place and at any angle to the wall.

If you have certain design ideas for the interior of the toilet, then the best solution for you will be a vertical toilet. But it is problematic to mount it in standard multi-apartment buildings of modern projects.

When choosing a vertical model, bring the issue of choice to perfection to get the perfect plumbing for your home. So what should it be?

1. Made of porcelain. In comparison with faience, the price differs slightly, but porcelain is much easier to keep clean.
2. The mirror is located behind and has an anti-splash system. This kit will protect against splashing during draining, and also keep the bowl clean.
3. Draining only of circular type. A similar version of the drain allows you to wash the bowl around the circle, thereby effectively dealing with pollution.
4. High quality fittings. Spend a little more money, but buy a really good reinforcement. This will get rid of breakdowns and the need to prevent plumbing.

The toilet bowls having vertical outlet are divided among themselves based on several criteria.

There are different materials, including stainless steel, bronze, copper, glass and other exclusive variations. But they are rarely used, are very expensive. Therefore, it will be practical and adequate in price materials.

1. Faience. A cheap version of ceramics that easily copes with the impact of chemicals. But the structure of the material is large-porous, because of which the pollution accumulates fairly quickly, penetrating the structure. If you cover the product with glaze, the problem disappears.

1. Porcelain. Slightly more expensive than faience, but it is much less soiled, it's much easier to clean.

1. Artificial stone. It is created by combining acrylic and quartz sand. Partially resistant to acids, alkalis and abrasive components. But it is important for many plus - the texture looks amazing.

Today the toilet bowls are presented with several options for the location of the water mirror.

1. Behind. The bowl remains clean, but splashes cause splashes. Compensate for this disadvantage can the anti-splash system.
2. Offset forward. Here the situation is exactly the opposite. That is, there are no sprays, but you must regularly use the brush.

Draining can be rear or circular. The first option allows to effectively clean the toilet seat, which is susceptible to the greatest pollution during use, but in the remaining areas the waste remains not washed away.

The circular flushing washes the entire bowl, but the water flow is not so intense.

The process of installing a toilet bowl with a vertical drain does not cause any special difficulties. Therefore, it is not necessary to call specialists, if you have at least a little experience in such matters.

1. Remove the old product by turning off the water supply.
2. Clean the surface, prepare the basis for installing a new toilet, if necessary. The area under the toilet should be degreased.
3. Make the markup according to the hole under the fasteners on your new plumbing.
4. Install a screw-type flange in the floor, which has a lock and an opening under the joint with the sewage system. All flanges are identical in size.
5. All vertical toilet bowls are equipped with a special element from the manufacturer. It serves to interface with flanges.
6. Put the toilet seat in place so that all the holes and joints match.
7. Turning slightly the entire structure, the two elements are connected together, thus ensuring the tightness of the joint. Additional sealing is obtained by the presence of a sealing ring located between the parts. Accordingly, the dismantling of the structure is also very easy when necessary.

Such a service makes sense to use, even if you are confident in yourself and are ready to mount the toilet yourself.
