Hanging toilets - a fairly new direction in the design of bathrooms. They take up less space than usual, and allow you to hide all the drain valves in the wall. But before installing them, it is necessary to carry out installation installation - to fix all the elements of the system on the wall. This is easy to do on your own, you just need to choose the right place.

Installing the installation in the bathroom is not the most difficult thing

Types of Installations

Manufacturers offer two types toilet installations:

  1. Blocky. This is a plastic tank construction to which drain valves and fasteners are attached. This is the easiest and cheapest option. At the same time, the toilet bowl can be either suspended or floor. This option is only suitable for mounting on a solid wall.
  2. Frame. This is a metal frame that holds the bowl itself and sewer pipes. The wall at the same time practically does not bear the load, the design presses only on the floor. This option is more reliable, as it can withstand weight up to 400 kg.
Frame design with concealed drain system

Most often, frame installations are installed. They do not require complex repairs, you do not need to break the walls of your apartment to get to the communications.

How to choose a place?

Remember that if you chose a block system, then it can only be installed in the main wall, so the choice of mounting locations is immediately reduced.

The frame structure can be installed anywhere. Consider the location options:

  • The standard is near the wall, the dimensions of the structure are 50 × 112 cm.
  • Corner - a great option to save space, allowing you to set the toilet in the corner.
  • Low - suitable for placing the system under the window.
  • Two-way - usually used in public areas.
  • Linear - combining into one toilet and bidet design.

Before buying an installation, determine its appearance and location in the toilet. The installation installation diagram should be ready before you go to the store.

Stages of work:

  • First you need to mark the wall and floor in the place where the structure will be suspended. The axis of the toilet should coincide with the axis of the room, if it is small. In a large bathroom when determining the position of the axis of the toilet, you need to focus on the axis of the sewer drain.
  • The installation height of the system depends on its size. Usually it is about 1 meter from the floor. The width is usually indicated in the manufacturer's instructions, it may differ from one company to another. Do not forget that the axis should go exactly in the center. Mark the fixing points on the wall.
  • Drill holes and insert dowels. It is most reliable to hang the installation on the dowel-nails, only they can withstand such a load.
  • Screw the drain tank.
  • Remove the drain button, check if all gaskets are in place. For details on how to do this, read the manufacturer's installation instructions.
  • Connect the pipe to the tank.
  • Drill holes for bowl mounts. Usually they hang it so that the distance from the floor to the seat is 40-50 cm. Focus on your convenience when choosing the installation height.
  • Insert the toilet pins. It can be hung in the last turn.
  • Lock the drain hose.
  • Check for leaks in the system.
  • If everything is in order, cover the wall with tiles or other decorative materials.

Hanging bowl block installation

Installation of a block installation with a floor toilet

This design allows you to hide the tank and communications, but at the same time reduces the load on the wall, because you do not need to hang the bowl. Installing a toilet installation with your own hands with an outdoor toilet is much easier than the previous option.

Stages of installation installation:

  • It is necessary to mark the position of the drain tank on the wall. It is best to hang it so that the button is 1 meter from the floor.
  • Holes are drilled in the wall, fasteners are installed and the tank is hung.
  • The water pipe is connected.
  • In the wall mark the location of the toilet.
  • Set the corrugation to drain.
  • The wall is covered with finishing materials, a drain button is hung.
  • Mount the toilet in place.

This option looks as neat and minimalistic as the previous one, since all the pipes are hidden in the wall.

Block system with a floor toilet

Mounting a frame installation with a hanging toilet

This option is good in that it allows you to put the toilet far from the walls, anywhere in the bathroom. After you choose a suitable place, you can start work.

Installation of the installation for the toilet includes the following steps:

At the first stage, a metal frame with fasteners is assembled. Typically, these frames are sold separately and are suitable for different types of toilets. Next, the drain tank is installed on the frame. Its position can be adjusted using brackets. Observe the following standard sizes:

  • The height from the floor to the drain button is 1 meter.
  • The distance between the attachment points coincides with the distance between the eyes of the bowl.
  • Height from floor to sewer pipe - 22 cm.
  • The distance from the floor to the toilet seat is 40 cm.
Fastening the frame to the wall and floor

Important! There must be at least one centimeter between the wall and the drain tank.

Now you need to attach the entire structure to the wall.

  • Use the level to check strict adherence to verticals and contours. Mark the holes on the wall and on the floor, drill them and install the fasteners. Screw the frame securely to the floor and wall.
  • After installing the frame, you must connect the water pipe. It is best to opt for a plastic pipe than a flexible hose. The latter will not last as long as the toilet. And changing the hoses hidden in the wall is problematic, so plastic pipes are most often used - they can be connected to the tank from above or from the side. Connect the drain corrugation to the sewer and check the installed system for leaks.
  • Install the pins, which then need to hang the toilet. Assemble the frame of metal profiles for the wall that will close the installation.
  • Take a moisture-resistant drywall with a thickness of at least 1 cm, cut it to the size of the false wall. Fasten to metal profiles. Remember to make drain holes and buttons. You can make a tiled pattern on top.

The frame installation has many mounting points, which makes it even more reliable.

Toilet installation best done 1.5–2 weeks after completion of work.

A frame installation for a hanging toilet is more expensive and more difficult to install than a block one, but it leaves a lot of room for creativity.

Installation Errors

If you have never carried out work with plumbing, then installing the installation under the toilet with your own hands can cause you difficulties. Fortunately, all wizard errors can be easily fixed.

Problems you may encounter:

  • Leaking drain tank. Check that the gaskets are installed correctly. Turn off the water, unscrew the fasteners and adjust the seals if necessary.
  • The floor toilet is leaking. It is necessary to cover the joints with the corrugation under the toilet with silicone.
  • Stagnates the water in the bowl. Check the angle of the drain corrugation. It should be equal to 45 degrees.
  • The toilet is swinging. Tighten all fasteners. The same should be done with the swinging tank.
Installation errors must be fixed before the installation is completed.
