How to install a toilet bowl of the floor type, the correct installation methods

Replacing the toilet is an important stage of repair of the sanitary unit. It is not necessary to contact specialists. You can install the floor toilet yourself.

Assemble the required set of tools and auxiliary materials:

• Rotary hammer, or drill with impact mode;
• Drill with a diameter that will match the dimensions of the dowel for installing the toilet;
• Drill for working with tiles. It will come in handy if there is tile or tile on the floor;
• Adjustable wrenches;
• Hammer;
• Qualitative sealant( in a tube or in a gun);
• Screwdriver Set;
• Set of strong wrenches;
• Adapters for connection to the socket of cast iron( if required);
• Fasteners, which the toilet manufacturer did not include;
• Several rags, a basin or a bucket for water.

Do not rush to install immediately. First, decide how exactly your toilet will be connected to the sewer.

Today there are three options available:

1. Toilet bowl. This cuff is economical, but it will not be possible to connect the plumbing with the sewer system. This is an important point when the room is compact.
2. Straight cuffs. They guarantee a strong and sufficiently tight connection, there are practically no shortcomings.
3. Eccentric. It is actual in the event that the toilet outlet and the sewer inlet are offset from each other.

Take care of the availability of adapters if they are required. The thread may not coincide, therefore additional elements will be required.

Preparing to install a new toilet seat is, first of all, the dismantling of the old one. Often under the old toilets there is a wooden board stand. Remove it, and fill the void with cement.

It would seem, put yourself a toilet on the floor, fix it with bolts and it's over. In fact, everything is not so simple.

There are three types of mounting:

• On the taffeta;
• Bolted;
• On the glue.

Classic version, which remains relevant even today. For him you will need solid boards, treated with protective compounds. They need to be drowned in the floor, or set on a level with it. From below, the base of wood is fixed with anchors, and the grooves are poured with a solution of sand and cement.

Next, the toilet itself is mounted to its new location. For fastening to the taffeta you will need simple screws. Just do not forget to put a rubber band under the head, which will protect the toilet pottery.

A simple but reliable way to fix the toilet. For him you will need to install the product for the future permanent place, through the holes under the fasteners, make notes with a marker or pencil on the floor.

Then the toilet is removed, holes are made, dowels are inserted. Now the plumbing product returns to its original position, fixed with screws. It is also important to use rubber washers. For better sealing quality, we recommend applying a little silicone under the toilet bowl, as well as sealing it with edges.

Use in this case epoxy adhesive. The surface under the toilet is pre-cleaned, treated with white spirit. A similar procedure is carried out with the bottom of the toilet, with which it will be fixed on the floor.

It is recommended that the surfaces be roughened, degreased and dried. Connections are connected, a layer of epoxy glue is applied to the surface and the toilet bowl is strongly pressed to the floor. It is possible to put on it weighting agents, and within a day the glue will completely harden.

There are three types of output for floor WC:

• Angled - oblique;
• Perpendicular to the floor - vertical;
• Parallel to the floor - horizontal.

We will study each of them separately.

They are often used in Europe. The branch pipe and the siphon are sent down. Convenience of the design is that you can place the plumbing at the walls at any angle chosen by you. Mounting the system is quite simple:

• The marking on the floor is being carried out, a screw flange with a special retainer is mounted;
• In the center of the flange there is a hole where the sewage pipe is put in;
• A flange is placed on the flange, a turn is made until it is fixed;
• The outlet pipe itself will be pressed against the pipe, as there is a ring-seal there.

The most popular type of release is from us. This is explained by the nuances of the construction of sewage in our multi-storey buildings. The installation is carried out to a certain wall, and the outlet is connected to the sewage outlet by a cuff. In the legs of the sanitary ware there are special holes. They serve to secure the product to the floor.

Install the toilet in this way in the following steps:

• Lubricate the outlet with grooves using a mixture of drying oil and tar;
• Wind the strand from the resin, not reaching the end of the tube by about 5 mm. So winding does not get into the sewer, so you can avoid blockages;
• Strand is abundantly smeared with suri;
• Then the plumbing is mounted and the outlet branch is fixed in the sewer socket.

In order to understand in detail the correct floor installation of the toilet, each step should be considered separately.

• The water supply is blocked, the flexible hoses are disconnected, the remaining water is drained;
• The drain tank is disconnected. Act on the basis of whether you need a toilet or not. You can do everything neatly, but you can simply break it into parts;
• Accelerate the process of dismantling with a perforator and a hammer;
• Make sure that the splinters do not fall into the sewer, and do not damage you;
• Remove the bowl, take it out to the dump, clean the room.

• Dismantling the old plumbing, put the bell in order. It can form rust, accumulate dirt, plaque;
• The socket is fitted with a transition cuff made of high quality rubber. It must be lubricated before this sealant of sanitary type;
• Plug the sewer opening with a cloth to prevent unpleasant smells;
• Remove the taffeta from the wooden boards, if any;
• On the resulting emptiness, make a fill using a quick-drying cement mortar;
• Make the floor level level using a spatula;
• Wait for the mixture to cool.

• The bowl is placed on the chosen place;
• Through the holes in the legs markings are made for future drilling;
• After completing the marking, remove the bowl, take the puncher, make holes and insert dowels in them.

• tank Follow strictly the instructions to the plumber to install the toilet seat fitting;
• Tighten the nuts from the valves solely by hand, without the aid of tools. Hold the valve with the other hand. This will prevent cranking, as well as avoid damage to the gasket;
• When installing the valves, avoid contact with the vessel walls and with each other.

• The connecting plumbing cuff is connected to the transition cuff, with a necessarily lobed part;
• The exit from the plumbing cup is fixed in the adapter cuff, trying to press up to the maximum stop;
• Turn the cuff until the toilet does not occupy the desired position and its holes do not match the holes made in the floor;
• To the floor of the bowl is fixed with screws. Do not forget to throw the protective washer out of plastic, so as not to damage the product;
• Make sure that the floor is level. If not, use plastic or rubber gaskets, and then tighten the bolts.

• Before installing the tank on the bowl, a gasket must be placed between them, treated with sealant. This will avoid leakage in the future;
• Fix the elements by tightening the fasteners evenly;
• Mount the cover and drain button;
• Connect flexible liner.

To ensure that the connection is correct, proceed as follows:

• Collect water into the tank and drain;
• The amount of water in the sink is regulated as indicated in the product manual;
• Inspect each connected component, make sure there are no leaks. If necessary, treat the tightened components with a sealant and tighten the connections;
• If the leakage problem lies in the fault of the toilet component, then buy a new one and install it.

• Install the supplied seat;
• The crevices between the legs and the floor are sealed with sealants;
• A full-fledged connection of the water supply is carried out, several more test drains are carried out.

As you can see, putting the toilet on the floor with your own hands - the task is not particularly difficult. It does not require professional skills or the help of masters.

Of course, if you are not confident in your own abilities, you do not have time or the desire to do such things yourself, contact the specialists. Many stores selling plumbing equipment, in passing, provide delivery, installation and subsequent maintenance services. Often this is beneficial, especially when it comes to the company's sanitary ware shop. High quality of products is accompanied by excellent quality of assembly and repair work.
