With such, at first glance, a difficult matter, how to install a toilet bowl can be fully managed without the help of plumbing. All the work can be divided into the stages: installation and fixing of the plumbing device itself, connection of the tank to the water pipe and connection at the sewerage. The third stage is the most responsible - from the correctness and thoroughness of its conduct will depend on whether chronic leaks or clogs develop over time.
Highlights
You can connect the toilet bowl to the sewer using several types of adapters:
- cuffs( eccentric or corrugated),
- through the tap,
- to the fan pipe.
In any case, in addition to the adapter, you will need a silicone sanitary sealant and a standard tool.
Connection via cuffs
"Gofra" - the most inexpensive and easy to use adapter. It can be bent and even slightly stretched. This is the most suitable option for budget repairs and if the exact distance between the toilet outlet and sewage is unknown, or the device is located in a remote location. The eccentric cuff is also capable of changing its shape due to rotation around the axis, but not linear dimensions. At the same time, it is more durable and reliable than "corrugated", it allows to connect the outlet of a toilet bowl and a sewer pipe of various diameters. Cuffs are made of polyethylene or polypropylene and can have different lengths.
- Initially, the corrugated cuff is inserted into the drain of the sewer riser
- The seam is sealed with sealant
- The other end of the corrugation is connected to the toilet
- . Check the tightness of the joint, for which the full tank or bucket of water is poured into the toilet.
- If everything is okay, fix the device to the floor. During this process, the "corrugation" is removed. So she does not interfere.
- When the toilet bowl is installed, the cuff is lubricated with a sealant and reconnected. Once again make sure of the tightness of the connection.
Fan tubes
The toilet, connected through bends and fan tubes, looks modern and solid, and the reliability of such a connection will allow to forget about leaks for many years. However, installation work is much more difficult, since pipes can not be cut or bent. It is also important to consider what type of release you have at the toilet, and how it will be connected - in the floor or wall. It depends on this, what kind of nozzle( and sometimes a few) will need to be purchased.
Unusual toilet
Toilet bowls with vertical outlet, which are more often selected for bathrooms in private houses, are even more easily connected. Issue at a toilet below, the siphon is "hidden" inside, so there are more options for its location.
- On the floor, at the outlet of the sewer, the
- marking is performed. A screw flange for the toilet with a lock and a hole in the center is inserted into the hole. On the toilet there is a mating part of this flange
- A sewage pipe is inserted into the hole, make sure that the sealing ring of the outlet pipe falls exactly on it
- The toilet is placed on top and screwed onto the flange. The branch pipe is pressed against the sewer pipe.
Do not forget to grease all joints with sanitary sealant and carefully follow the instructions of the toilet manufacturer, and this time you will not need a plumber.
