Frame

The installation scheme of the wall-hung toilet provides for separate and hidden placement of the tank and fixing the bowl on steel frame (installations), which, in turn, is attached to the floor and the main wall. The installation is mounted after laying and bringing out the water pipes. High-quality installation of a suspended toilet primarily depends on the correct installation of the frame.

• Installation is set by level.

The installation height of the hanging toilet according to SNIP is 1 m to the tank, and the bowl from the floor level: 40-43 cm. It is regulated by a special mechanism on the frame.

• The height of the wall hung toilet from the floor may be greater if the family members are tall. The remaining parameters are selected according to the instructions.
• The frame is attached to the floor and wall with anchor bolts so that the structure is stationary. If necessary, make an additional mount, which the instruction may not provide.
• After assembling the structure, the tank with communications is sealed with drywall or decorative panels. Material should be selected moisture resistant.
• The bowl is attached to special pins at the last stage of installation.

Tank features

The flush toilet tank is different from the usual because it is wide and flat. It is attached to a steel frame. Condensation is avoided by insulating the tank.

The button for the descent of water is mounted in front, in a special neckline. The installation of the toilet provides access to repair the tank through this hole, which will allow you to get to the drain valves without disassembling the casing.

The volume of the tank is not less than usual. Some water draining devices provide for the possibility of draining water in portions of different volumes - 3 and 6 liters each.

Toilet bowl

The bowl is the main part of the whole structure: it is it that is in sight. It can have a different form:

• square;
• rectangular;
• oval;
• round;
• drop-shaped;
• triangular.

Fixing for installation is carried out using a special set of fasteners. A lid is mounted on the bowl.

The cover should be given special attention. An interesting option is a design with a micro-lift, working on the principle of a door closer. The device provides independent smooth closing of the bowl, you only need to give the lid the initial movement, and the mechanism will cope with its further lowering.

In order not to spend extra money on a new cover with a microlift, it is advisable to buy a toilet bowl, which it already comes with. In total, everything will be cheaper.

Seat selection

A standard installation of a wall-hung toilet with installation is done near a niche with communications. If the tank does not fit into it, those inside the pipe must be shifted to the sides.

Important! Steel or cast iron worn pipes installed in a niche should be replaced with plastic ones. At the same time, it is not allowed to leave part of the old communications in the ceilings.

The mounted tank and installation are often closed with a false wall.

The markup is done in advance. A line is drawn on the wall that coincides with the central axis of the device, and the distance from the frame to the wall is measured (standard 13.5 mm). The point of location of the toilet bowl is marked. Installation is set at the building level, after which marks are made for mounting holes at mounting points.

The choice of hanging toilet

When choosing a suitable product, use the following tips:

[smartcontrol_youtube_shortcode key = "hanging toilet choice" cnt = "4 ″ col =" 2 ″ shls = "true"]

• When choosing a model, it is better to give preference to sanitary ware products that have a less porous structure, due to which plaque is easier to remove from them. Ceramic products are whiter and in new condition look more impressive. But the porous structure and fragility are noticeable disadvantages in practical application.
• The shape of the bowl is matched to the style of the rest of the plumbing. The connection scheme to the sewage system is selected the same as the old version, otherwise in the future there will be difficulties with installation.
• You can choose any color, although classic white will always remain relevant. Thanks to a wide range of toilets, you can easily choose your own version of the model that will match the interior.

• Inside the bowl may have a step to prevent a splash or have a complex drain shape with anti-splash function. The latter option is more preferred.
• The method of discharge may vary. Popular is soulful. If draining occurs in a stream, it is noisier and less efficient. An economical discharge with two modes has come into fashion, when the water from the tank is optionally completely drained completely or only half.
• As for manufacturers, preference should be given to products from Germany, Czechoslovakia, Italy and Poland. Domestic toilets also have a good level of quality and design. Turkish and Chinese products sometimes fail due to violations of manufacturing processes.

Installation mount

Any installation instructions for a wall-hung toilet installation installation. In rare cases, the bowl is attached directly to the wall, because the frame is expensive.

• For installation in the places of marks, holes are drilled in the floor and wall.
• Then the frame is fastened with anchor bolts.
• It is especially important to precisely set the frame on which almost all the equipment is mounted. It is installed horizontally with the help of legs, which are then fixed in a certain position. The vertical level is set by fitting to the thread of the anchor, after which it is fixed.

The installation is fastened with powerful screws to the wooden floor.

Communications

Water supply and sewerage are supplied to the installation site in advance. Clamps are located on the frame for fixing the inlet pipe going to the drain tank and the sewer pipe. Communications are brought to the installation and fixed.

Important! Instead of hoses, it is highly recommended that you use a rigid polypropylene liner pipes with a minimum number of connections, since they have a longer service life. If space is limited, bellows eyeliner can be used.

Installing the tank and bowl

The drain tank is mounted in the intended place with the help of fasteners. If the frame design is homemade, it is installed at a height of 0.5 m from the bowl.

Then the pipes are laid. Installation must be done as efficiently as possible so that leaks do not appear.

The outlet of the toilet is connected to the drain of the drain using corrugations, the connections are sealed, and then the bowl is screwed onto the pins.

After installation, the toilet is checked for operability and for leaks. Detected deficiencies should be immediately eliminated. If necessary, the installation height of the installation toilet is adjusted.

To hide the frame with the tank and to have access to them in the future, it is convenient to install roller shutters.
