We install the hanging toilet bowl by our own hands - instruction, video and photo

This type of sanitary ware is favorably different from its counterparts. Suspended toilet, first, saves space. The fact is that all the pipes suitable for it, as well as an unchanging element of construction - a drain tank - do not strike the eye, but are behind a specially constructed false wall. Secondly, when installing toilet pads around them, and especially at the back, it is difficult to maintain cleanliness due to insufficient free space. Suspended models do not create this inconvenience, and today we will discuss all the nuances of installing this toilet bowl with our own hands.

All pendant models of toilet bowls are divided according to the method of fixing the supporting structure( traverse) into three types: corner, floor and wall. Therefore, such toilet bowls can be installed almost anywhere, regardless of the size of the room, the configuration and material of the walls and floor. The entire installation of the sanitary ware mainly involves the work on securing the support frame, which includes a drain tank and a flush button.

Choosing an installation location

Typically, it is much more convenient if there is no desire to change something in the design of the toilet room( there are also large ones), install a hanging toilet on the site of the old, floor. If the place is chosen different, then you need to consider how the cold water supply and sewage pipes will be laid. Naturally, the less noticeable they are, the better. In any case, it must be remembered that the pipe connecting the toilet bowl to the common sewage pipe should be kept as short as possible. If necessary, it will be easier to clean.

In the place of the proposed installation, it is necessary to check what material the wall behind the toilet bowl is made of. If it is, for example, drywall, then there can not be any fixation to such a surface, and it will be necessary to find a way of fixing the installation to the capital wall.

Installing the

support frame First of all, you need to know that the frame design allows for height adjustment. To begin with, you must carefully measure and produce the initial markup. It is recommended( unless specified in the instructions) to install the support frame so that the distance from the drain tank to the floor is approximately 1 m.

Before the installation of the frame, the sewer pipe and the cold water pipe in the toilet position must already be removed. After all, after the frame is "tightly" fixed, to conduct some more construction work in this place will be impossible. It is best to mount the frame to the floor and the wall with anchor bolts. Such a connection will ensure absolute immobility of the entire structure.

If mounting is done in a private house where the floors are wooden, then the fastening should be done with the help of powerful screws. Perhaps you need to do some additional fasteners( for example, a metal corner).

Before fixing the installation it is necessary to isolate it. It is clear that if the frame is installed crookedly, then the toilet itself will take the same position. The alignment of the frame is carried out using an ordinary building level. And it should be leveled across all planes. Otherwise it turns out that it seems to be smooth, but the front part will be higher than the rear, or vice versa. To do this, use the existing adjusting rods and studs to the wall.

Separately, attention should be paid to the height of the bowl. Specialists say that for the "average" adult it is necessary to mount it approximately at a height of 40 cm from the floor surface. However, the necessary height can be determined experimentally, if the family has all its members of high growth, for example. Therefore, only the orientation parameter is indicated.

All other recommended values ​​of the installation distances must be taken from the instruction on the product( for example, the distance from the bowl to the wall).

Connecting the toilet to the communications

Professionals do not advise making cold water supply with flexible hoses. Since the structure is in a fixed position, the connection to the water pipe is made using a metal pipe. This is both safer and more durable.

But the connection to the sewage system is better to make the pipe corrugated, with a diameter of at least 100 mm. Before proceeding with the installation work, it is necessary to check whether the drainage is secure. It is enough to "bait" the bowl and drain the water.

External finish

There can not be a single recommendation. In each house the walls of the toilet room are decorated differently. Therefore, only a few tips:

1. In any case, "sealing" the niche should not be done "tightly".If necessary, access to the tank should not be difficult;
2. When decorating a niche with gypsum plasterboard, it is necessary to use only its waterproof grades.
3. In the instructions for the toilet, a template is given, along which technological holes are cut out.
4. After completing all the work, the toilet bowl is installed. Everything, the product is considered completely assembled.
