Required tools
The toilet is connected to the sewer by means of some instruments and tools. But first of all, of course, it is important to choose the right toilet. Depending on the type of connection to the sewerage system, the toilet bowls are divided into the following: with an oblique outlet at an angle of about 30 °, with a horizontal straight line, with a vertical straight line.
If you do not intend to install a new installation, but replace the toilet since last years, then it is enough to see how the water was produced in it. Also, the toilet bowls are divided into: the material of manufacture, the shape of the bowl, the place of attachment( on the wall or on the floor), the location of the flush tank( on a wall or toilet).
The connection of the toilet bowl to the sewer is made with the with the following tools : a hose for connection to the water supply;cement mortar;corrugations. In addition, when installing the toilet, you may also need: screwdrivers, a bullet, a puncher, a hammer, wrenches, rags( wet and dry), a silicone-based sealant, and a wrench.
How to connect the toilet bowl to the sewer?
Before starting the installation of a new toilet seat, must be dismantled from the old .First of all, block the water. If the old toilet was fixed on a taffeta( wooden board) and it is spoiled( rotten), then it should be removed. In the future, use a new one or use plastic tabs. After that, the installation of a new toilet bowl starts and consists of the following steps:
- As already mentioned, for the most accurate connection of the sewer pipe and the outlet, the toilet is selected by the outlet. If you can not achieve perfect coupling, then apply corrugation.
- After the last toilet bowl was dismantled, the polyethylene film is temporarily closed with a hole from the sewage pipe. This is necessary so that during the work there are no extraneous odors.
- If the taffeta( embedded board) is in a suitable condition, then it is "planted" on the cement( make a cement screed).Or you can make plastic inlays. In any case, the floor should be smooth and smooth.
- At the same time as the exhaust pipe and the sewerage matched, the screws for the toilet are selected, with the help of which it will be mounted. Screws are twisted, heads are covered with special decorative overlays. As a result, the toilet should be stable.
Installing the drain tank and sealing the
elements An important and final part is the sealing of the elements( joint and sewerage) and the installation of a drain tank. However, if corrugated was used, sealing is not necessary, since its rubber base fits well the joints.
Further installation of the toilet bowl in accordance with the instructions that should be included. If you mount it incorrectly, it will continue to flow all the time. The bolts are tightened tightly, but with some caution, since cracks in the faience from excessive efforts may appear. Water is supplied using a reinforced hose.
At the last stage it is necessary to adjust the drain mechanism, since it is impossible to allow the water to reach the uppermost edge. Should remain a distance of about 0.5-1 centimeters. Drain the water approximately three times and check everything as follows. Water should neither flow nor flow in the joints.
