How to install the tank on the toilet

Assembling the toilet bowl

When choosing a container for installation with a toilet, first of all, they are guided by its design and cost. However, do not neglect and ways of draining the water. Depending on this criterion, the flushing cisterns are:

• of manual draining - the amount of flushing water is controlled by the user;
• automatic draining - the pre-set amount of liquid is drained. Manufacturers of such systems, usually supply a tank with two keys, with which you can choose the necessary amount of water for drainage.

Proceeding from this, special parts are used that ensure uninterrupted operation of the entire drainage system, namely:

• devices for monitoring the level of filling the interior of the reservoir with water after draining;
• fittings, dosing the amount of washable liquid.

The technology of installing the tank on the toilet

The toilet can be installed in several ways:

• directly on the toilet seat( the so-called compact);
• separately from the toilet;
• is a docked installation in a wall or partition.

Installing the reservoir separately

To install the drain tank separately from the toilet, the following manipulations must be carried out:

1. , a marking of the surface on which the flushing device is to be installed, in such a way as to determine the required length of the pipe;
2. using an electric drill or other device in the wall holes are drilled to install the fastening elements in them;
3. on the fasteners install the drain tank.

Installing the tank for draining on the toilet

Installing the tank for draining the toilet is done in the following order:

1. on the toilet seat where the drain can be located, install a rubber gasket, the surface of which, if necessary, is covered with a layer of silicate adhesive on both sides;
2. on the toilet shelf is installed the tank and fixed on it with the help of special bolts, which are placed in the inner surface through cone-shaped gaskets;
3. the connecting bolts are tightened with nuts and a trial connection of the water( with the obligatory condition being the presence of a gasket between the hose and the hole in the toilet);
4. if after filling with water there is no leakage of liquid through the connection points - the tank is ready for further operation.

Built-in waste tank

Modern bathroom design also includes a built-in waste tank that remains closed to the eyes of users. This non-standard arrangement of the flushing mechanism is successful from several sides. Firstly, the possibility of accidental mechanical damage to the tank itself is excluded, and secondly, considerable savings in the space of the toilet room are obtained.

As a conclusion

Types of toilet bowls may differ in the material from which they are made, as well as in the installation method. Some models have two flush keys, designed for a different amount of water flow for drainage. Such a design solution allows to significantly reduce the water consumption used to drain into the sewage system and thereby save not only personal funds, but also natural resources.
