Installation a simple toilet is not something complicated. But if the toilet is mounted, then the bathroom must be equipped with an additional link - an installation. In this article, you will learn howdo-it-yourself toilet installation, as well as its connection to the sewer system.

While toilets of different brands may differ mainly in the shape of the bowl or surface, the installation may cause many problems with the toilet in the next 20 years. Indeed, after all, the tank, frame and other elements will be hidden, which will make access to them difficult.

The modern plumbing market can offer installations of two types.

Important! If the bathroom is located in the center of the living space, away from the main walls, then only a frame installation can be installed in it.

With regards to manufacturers, Vega, Grohe and Geberit are considered the most reliable today. But here it all depends mainly on personal wishes. It is important that the model belongs famous brand that has already proven itself. The installation costs will be more expensive, but in terms of operation it will quickly pay for itself.

What will be required in the work

To install the installation, you need to acquire the following tools:

Choosing the right tools is already half the battle.

Installation must begin with the choice suitable place. If the layout is standard, then the best place is a niche with risers in it. The niche itself will have to be redone somewhat, “pushing apart” the risers on the sides.

Important! Metal risers should definitely be replaced with plastic ones.

Wall hung toilet with block design

Step one. It all starts with markup. If it's about small apartment, then the toilet is installed in accordance with the axis of the room, since the area here is insignificant. If the apartment is large enough, then the toilet is tied to the axis of the drain. This axis must be drawn with a marker.

Step two. The next step is to measure the height. It almost always depends on design features frames. Points for installing dowels are marked.

Important! Dimensions for this need to be taken only from the instructions attached to the product, because they are different for different manufacturers.

It is also important to follow correct distance dowels from the installation center. For example, if its width is 60 cm, then 30 cm recede from the axis on both sides. Holes are made with a perforator, dowels are hammered into them.

Step three. The drain tank is screwed, the drain hole is twisted (both procedures are described in more detail in the instructions). The presence of all necessary gaskets is checked, after which the tank is connected to the water supply.

Step four. The pins that come with the plumbing are screwed into the pre-drilled holes. The distance that they protrude out depends solely on the size of the toilet. It is characteristic that the pins will be open until the installation is completed - only then the bowl is installed.

The last step is to fix the drain hose with clamps (if provided by the design).

Step one. First, the frame is assembled, after which a drain tank is attached to it. The position of the frame is adjusted by means of screws and brackets located on top. Frames are always sold separately - they are universal, so they are suitable for any toilet bowl.

At the end of the assembly, a structure with a height of 1.3-1.4 m comes out, while the width depends on specific model. The maximum load that such frames can withstand reaches 450-490 kg.

Step two. When installing a drain tank, you must adhere to the following rules:

• the drain button should be a meter from the floor;
• toilet bowl - about 40-45 cm;
• sewer outlet - 22-25 cm;
• the distance between the fasteners must be equal to the distance between the lugs of the toilet bowl.

Usually the frame is attached in four places. There is a small gap between it and the surface - at least 2 cm.

Step three. The assembled installation is installed, moreover, clearly horizontally. To do this, the slope of the wall is checked with a plumb line and, if such is found, a horizontal line is drawn at the point of contact between the plumb line and the floor. Then, from the line at a distance necessary for the installation of the installation, a second one is drawn.

The frame is applied to the wall, fastener points are marked. Holes are being made. The frame is screwed to the floor, its height is adjusted by screws, and its horizontal position is adjusted by the building level.

Step four. A water pipe is connected to the drain tank. This can be done from the side or from above, but in almost all modern models, the connection point can be changed.

Important! It is undesirable to use a flexible hose when connecting a drain tank, because it will last much less than the toilet itself, and it will be quite difficult to replace it under a false wall if necessary.

Therefore, to connect are used plastic pipes. The tank itself is insulated with a material that prevents moisture condensation. Everything that is required for installation is included in the kit, except that the panel with a drain button must be purchased separately.

Step five. The toilet outlet is connected to the riser. It is often impossible to insert the outlet directly, so corrugation is used. After that, all connections are checked for tightness.

Step six. Before assembling a drywall box, do the following:

• close all openings with plugs so that debris does not enter them;
• screw the screws into the frame to fix the toilet bowl.

All technological holes are cut out in drywall, after which it is fixed on the frame with self-tapping screws. Drywall is tiled.

Step seven. The installation of the toilet bowl can be started no earlier than 10 days after laying the tiles. The outlet is fitted to the sewer hole, and the place where the tiles come into contact with the toilet is covered silicone sealant. The toilet is placed on the shifts, the nuts are tightened.

After that, it is advisable to perform a test drain of water in order to check the tightness.

Step one. With the help of metal fasteners, the position of the knee is fixed. The outlet of the toilet bowl is processed with technical ointment, after which the device is placed at the installation site. Its outline is outlined with a marker, all mounting holes are indicated. Then the toilet is removed, and according to the markup, the mounting brackets that come with the kit are installed. The toilet is put back, the outlet is pressed into the fan pipe.

Step two. The drain tank is installed according to the instructions. A connecting cuff is fixed at the outlet of the toilet bowl, the bolts are tightened, and their caps are closed with special caps.

Step three. The drain button is led into the technological hole made.

Step four. The finished structure is checked for tightness.

1. If the floor toilet is flowing, then the tightness of the joints treated with sealant is checked. Corrugated connections are re-processed.
2. To simplify future repair work a technological hole must be provided under the drain button.
3. The instability of the toilet bowl can be corrected by tightening the bolts. This must be done carefully so as not to strip the thread.
4. The drain button must be placed between the tiles.
5. The cause of the leakage of the drain tank, most likely, is the incorrect installation of the sealing gasket. To replace it, water is shut off and all fasteners are unscrewed. Gaskets get better, everything twists back.
6. The drain must be at an angle of 45ᵒС, otherwise the water will stagnate in the toilet.
7. When buying an installation, it is better to give preference to a model equipped with a water saving system. Often, such a system provides for the presence of two drain buttons - for complete or partial draining.

Conclusion

Here, in fact, are all the nuances of installation. The main thing is to fulfill all the requirements, and at the end of each stage, check the tightness of the connections. All detected defects should be immediately eliminated, since it will be difficult to do this later, when the structure is hidden by drywall.

The hanging toilet differs from the classic floor-standing toilet only in that the communications are hidden inside the wall. Only the toilet is visible from the outside. The rest of the water supply and disposal system is hidden behind the wall. This is what is called an installation.

It is a rectangular metal frame with threaded holes for mounting, and a flat plastic drain tank. A drain key is also attached to the system, which costs almost more than the installation itself (TW key bronze 16,920 rubles).

Recently, it was not possible to install a wall-hung toilet in the bathroom, but now, thanks to the huge selection in the sanitary ware market, installation wall hung toilet can be done by hand. Although many are afraid to install suspended structure, because there are some outdated myths about it.

Myths about the wall-hung toilet

Myth 1. A hanging toilet, if a heavy person sits on it, will fall and break.

The toilet itself, if it is made with high quality, without cracks, can withstand weight up to 400 kg. The only thing that can fail is a poorly installed installation. It is a welded metal frame of square section. The installation is fixed to the floor with two bolts of 12 mm in diameter, and to the wall at a height of 1.2 m above the floor level with bolts of the same diameter.

The toilet itself is hung at a height of 35-40 cm above the floor. One such bolt is able to withstand a person, and there are two such bolts, and even a couple below. If you find a 12 mm drill, then screwing in such bolts will not be a problem, and the installation will not crash with daily use of plumbing.

Wall-hung toilets are gaining immense popularity, so the installation of a toilet installation is a rather urgent issue.

Suspended models have the main advantage, which is aesthetic appearance, since all drain valve and the tank are hidden in the wall.

You can do the installation of a wall-mounted (hanging) toilet bowl with your own hands, but you need to approach this process with the utmost responsibility, the instructions must be followed.

After all, the life of the equipment depends on the quality of the work performed.

The mounting method depends on the type of installation.

Therefore, first of all, you need to choose the right model.

Types of installation

There are two types of installations: block and frame. The block type is fixed exclusively to the main wall.

The block structure consists of plastic tank, which is attached to the drain fittings, as well as fasteners for the toilet.

In a frame installation, the basis of the structure is a metal frame, on which fasteners for the toilet bowl and sewerage outlets are installed.

This installation is more expensive than a block one.

Also exists corner option frame installation, which can be installed at the junction of walls.

The corner installation option allows you to rationally arrange plumbing, that is, two plumbing equipment can be placed in one block.

Installation instructions for a corner installation are similar to those for a standard installation.

The design can be clearly seen in the diagram.

Frame installation technology

It is necessary to approach the choice of a place as responsibly as possible, since, for example, the installation of a block structure is carried out exclusively on the main walls.

If the installation is carried out in a standard-plan apartment, then the best place there will be a niche in which the water and sewer risers are located.

It is better to change the niche by placing risers in the corners.

To install a frame installation with your own hands, you must first mount metal carcass to which the drain system is attached.

The frame can be adjusted using the brackets located at the top of the structure. Frames are universal and fit any toilet.

The height of the frame must not exceed 145 cm. The width of the frame must not exceed the width of the drain tank.

Frames can withstand weight up to 400 kg.

Below is the setup diagram of the installation. This diagram allows you to visually see the device wall mounted toilet.

At the next stage of installing a hanging toilet with your own hands, a drain tank is fixed to the structure.

When attaching equipment, it is important to consider certain nuances:

• The panel with the drain button should be located at a height of 1 m;
• The sewer pipe should be located at a height of no more than 25 cm;
• The toilet bowl is fixed at a height of 40 cm.

The metal frame is fixed in four places. There are two mounting options: 4 in the wall or 2 in the wall and 2 in the floor.

The next step is the installation of the finished installation. The location of the frame must be strictly horizontal.

First you need to attach the frame to the wall and make markings for the holes.

Then, in the marked places, you need to drill holes and screw the structure to the floor. Screws need to adjust the height and attach the frame to the wall.

Now you need to bring water to the drain tank. The supply can be top or side.

It is better to use plastic pipes. The tank and pipes must be insulated to prevent condensation.

The false wall is made of drywall. But before manufacturing, you need to screw the pins into the installation to fix the toilet bowl and close all the drain holes with plugs to protect it from debris and dust.

Now you need to move on to the installation of the drywall wall. The drywall used must be waterproof, at least 10 mm thick.

Immediately you need to make holes for the pipes. It is necessary to assemble the frame from the metal profile, and then attach the drywall sheets to the frame from the metal profile using screws.

Now you need to install the toilet, however, it is recommended to install the wall-mounted toilet only 10 to 14 days after the installation of the frame structure.

To mount the bowl, the output of the hanging equipment is adjusted to the sewer pipe.

Silicone sealant is applied between the wall and the toilet bowl or a rubber gasket is placed, the bowl is mounted on pins that are tightened with nuts.

An important point in the installation of suspended equipment is the installation of a drain button.

Due to the fact that the drain fitting is hidden in the wall, it is imperative to install a flush button, which is a small panel of various shapes and colors.

For economical use of water, you can purchase a button with two flush modes, thanks to which you can control the amount of water used.

An excellent option is the “stop-flush” panel, which allows you to stop the flow of water at any time by pressing a button. There is also a button with a remote control.

Control is possible from a distance of two meters, a remote control is included.

After completing the installation work on the installation of a hanging toilet, you need to check the tightness of the equipment, for this it is enough to turn on the water supply.

Block installation technology

The block version is used to install suspended and floor models of equipment.

When installing a block installation with your own hands, the installation procedure is slightly different.

Installation begins with the marking of the attachment points. If the work is carried out in an apartment, then the axis of the wall-mounted toilet should coincide with the axis of the room, since the area is small.

In other cases, the axis of the toilet must coincide with the axis of the sewer. These axes are marked on the wall.

Now it is necessary to measure the height, which should not exceed one meter, and mark the places for the holes for the dowels, due to which the entire structure is attached.

Dowels should be located at an equal distance from the axis. For example, with an installation width of 50 cm, 25 cm recede from the axis in each direction.

Having made the markup, using a perforator, you need to make holes and drive in the dowels for attaching the hanging toilet bowl.

Now you need to attach a drain tank to the wall and screw it.

When connecting to the drain hole, you need to check the presence of all gaskets, then connect the water pipe to the drain tank.

The pins must be screwed into the holes made. The size of the protrusion of the pins depends on the size of the toilet.

The bowl is attached only after completion of all installation work.

Now you need to make a false wall in the same way as in the case of a frame installation.

For outdoor equipment, the installation of a block installation is different from the suspension. First, with the help of metal fasteners, the position of the structure is fixed.

Then the outlet of the toilet bowl is treated with silicone sealant, and the equipment is put into place. The toilet bowl is circled along the contour and the attachment points are outlined.

Then the toilet must be removed, the mounting brackets must be set according to the finished markings, then the toilet must be put back.

Now a drain tank is installed, which must be fixed with fixing bolts. A connecting cuff is attached to the toilet outlet.

Then the bolts are tightened and closed with decorative caps.

The final steps are to bring the drain button and check the tightness of the structure.

Do-it-yourself toilet installation installation is affordable even for non-professionals.

The most important thing is to follow all the installation rules, which will ensure a long service life of the installation.

Toilet installation installation: installation rules

Wall-hung toilets are gaining immense popularity, so the installation of a toilet installation is a rather urgent issue.

Self-installation installation of the toilet bowl

Hanging tank design with installation

Before considering how to install a hanging toilet with an installation, you should choose it (read about the rules here), as well as determine the main components of the attachment mechanism.

The life of the plumbing device will depend on the quality of the chosen design. In general, the hanging toilet bowl consists of the following parts:

• steel frame;

The sturdy frame is attached both to the floor and to the wall with special studs. It has rods for adjusting the height of the product. The drain tank of the structure is made of plastic, coated with a coating from condensate. On the front of the tank there is a special cutout in which the drain system is installed.

The choice of location and installation scheme for the toilet

A good location for the device is considered to be an impenetrable place away from the door, so you can choose the far wall. But at the same time, it should be borne in mind that all communications should be near the toilet so that they do not have to be brought across the whole room.

The main parameters for fastening the structure are:

• the height of the toilet bowl - the average size is 430 mm;

It is better to install the toilet in a niche in which all the sewerage is hidden and the drain riser is located. If not, then you can build a drywall box.

Installation Tools

To perform all the work on installing the installation for the toilet, you need to have the following tools:

• laser or regular level;

Installation Installation Instructions

Before carrying out installation work, first you need to bring a sewer pipe with a diameter of 110 mm, and then - water pipes.

1. Fastening preparation . Holes are made in the wall at previously marked places using a perforator. Dowels are inserted into them. In this case, fastenings can be performed both diagonally and vertically. The installation frame has 4 mandatory fixings: 2 on the wall and 2 on the floor.

After installing the frame, it is necessary to check the reliability of the structure, exclude its vibrations to the sides, otherwise it may tilt under heavy loads. After these steps, the do-it-yourself installation of the frame is completed.

Connection of water pipes and sewerage

This is the most critical part of arranging a new toilet bowl, because if a leak appears in one of the pipes, then the entire structure and wall cladding on which the hanging toilet bowl is located will have to be dismantled.

False panel cladding

It is carried out after all plumbing work before installing the toilet. Since the structure is located in a kind of niche, it does not matter what material it will be sheathed with. Usually drywall is used for these purposes, and it is moisture resistant.

Fixing the wall hung toilet

Do-it-yourself installation of a toilet bowl installation must be carried out taking into account the following rule: a rubber backing must be laid between the tile and the toilet bowl, which will protect not only facing material from cracking, but also the bidet itself. If for some reason the factory substrate is lost, it can be replaced with a thick layer of sealant. When solidified, it will play the role of a cushion cushion.

The wall hung toilet is aesthetically pleasing, stylish and reliable. All work on its installation can be done by hand, taking into account the above tips and instructions for installation.

Instructions and tips for installing a wall-hung toilet with installation

Suspended plumbing fixtures are gradually gaining popularity, especially among owners small bathrooms. However, not everyone likes hanging toilets - outwardly they seem unstable and unreliable. This impression is deceptive, because the installation of the wall-mounted toilet is carried out using an installation system that is hidden behind finishing material walls. Let us consider in more detail the advantages of suspended plumbing objects and get acquainted with the instructions for their installation.

Benefits of wall hung toilets

1. compactness . The space of the bathroom is freed up due to the lack of a drain tank - it hides in the wall along with the rest of the communications. Thanks to the resulting void under the toilet, plumbing seems weightless, this technique visually lightens the interior and makes it visually more spacious.
2. Modern style . Suspended plumbing is a relatively new invention, its installation immediately indicates that the owner of the house is following the development of technology and keeping up with fashion trends.

• Versatility . It doesn’t matter if you are only changing the toilet bowl or completely renovating the bathroom furniture and equipment – ​​a hanging toilet bowl will always be appropriate and will make the interior of the bathroom elegant and concise.
• Practicality . Cleaning the room is now much easier. The installation of the "warm floor" system is also facilitated. Floor tiles placed without violating the integrity of the ornament.

Choosing and buying a toilet bowl with installation

The main condition for purchasing an installation is that it must match the model of the toilet bowl you have chosen. Often, wall-hung toilets are equipped with an installation system initially, it is best to prefer this particular option.

The installation must match the size of the niche in which it will be placed.

Installations are of two types.

block - fastened to the wall using conventional anchor bolts, which are the main support of the entire structure.

Framework - is a frame on legs, thanks to which the height of the toilet is adjusted. The frame is attached in four places. It is possible that all four fasteners are fixed on the wall - this method of installation can only be used in the case of solid walls.

If the wall is not stable enough, choose an installation with two mounts on the wall and two on the floor. The last two fasteners bear the main load.

Pay attention to the equipment of the device. In a favorable scenario, you will receive the main part (blocks or frames), fasteners, flush keys, noise insulation, flush tank and adapter.

Stages of installation of a toilet bowl with installation

1. We are marking the walls. We draw a line - the central axis of the future system. We calculate the distance between the installation and the wall, which will house the sewerage and water supply. We mark the mounting points of the installation and the location of the tank.

• Provide a technological hatch just below the drain button. This will greatly facilitate the maintenance of the tank and its repair if necessary.
• Use modern flush buttons that save water. It can be two separate buttons, one of which drains the full volume of water in the tank, and the other half. Another option is the presence of "Start" and "Stop" buttons.
• Consider the location of the drain button relative to the tile elements. Design the button either strictly between two tiles, or in the center of one of them.
• The top edge of the toilet must be no higher than 45 cm from the floor and no lower than 40 cm.
• The thickness of the wall hiding the installation system should not exceed 7 cm.
• A standard distance of 18 or 23 cm is maintained between the mounting holes of the toilet bowl.
• Control the correct installation at all stages of work. This will help to avoid gross errors during installation and problems during the operation of plumbing equipment.

The toilet bowl installed according to all the rules with the installation is able to withstand a load of up to 400 kg! If you doubt that you can do all the work correctly and efficiently, we advise you to resort to the help of qualified specialists. Well, to save the budget, of course, will help self-assembly installation systems. Feel free to use technological and design know-how to create an original and practical interior.

Installing a toilet bowl with installation: detailed instructions and tips

We offer detailed instructions and useful tips for installing a wall-hung toilet bowl with installation.

How to choose a toilet installation + self-installation guide

Installing a toilet installation - this topic is relevant primarily for those who have a bathroom in the house that does not have extra usable space. But design projects, created for luxury apartments, using similar designs also abound. Preference for this particular way of installing a toilet is usually given by people who are not subject to stereotypes and are not afraid to let creative solutions into their lives. Although, today a hanging toilet is no longer something extraordinary, but with a certain set of tools and with minimal locksmith skills, you can create such a system yourself. For our part, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the technology for performing such events in theory, and this knowledge, in our firm conviction, will certainly be useful to you in practice.

What is a toilet installation?

The installation is always based on a metal frame

Before choosing an installation for a toilet, you need to understand what meaning this design carries. In fact, we are talking about a special flush-mounted frame. The expediency of its installation is provided by two key conditions:

• Firstly, a hanging toilet is an additional free space in the bathroom (especially relevant for housing of the "Soviet" construction).
• Secondly, due to the fact that this sanitary ware does not come into contact with the floor surface, it is possible to clean the bathroom faster and more efficiently.

Note! In principle, not only a toilet bowl, but also any other sanitary ware can be mounted on such a frame.

What does the installation work involve?

The correct sequence of the installation of the installation itself, and then the toilet bowl, is of fundamental importance, because the serviceability and uninterrupted functioning of this plumbing fixture depends on it in the future. Installation installation for the toilet consists of four main points:

• toilet installation installation;
• connecting sewerage and water supply systems to it;
• masking of visible parts of communication;
• exterior finish.

Attention! Installation of the installation is carried out before finishing work in the bathroom.

What tools will be needed?

Installing a toilet installation with your own hands, in principle, does not require any expensive professional tools. To cope with the work, it is enough to have the following items in your arsenal:

1. Marker or regular pencil.
2. Building level.
3. Measuring tape.
4. Perforator. At the same time, a concrete drill should be at hand, the diameter of which should be commensurate with the fastener hole, which in turn comes with the installation itself.
5. Open-end wrenches, the cross section of which must also correspond to the diameter of the fasteners used.

Toilet installation installation: step by step

Marking

Before you install the toilet with the installation, you need to markup. The first line is drawn on the wall, which will serve as the central axis of the device. Then the distance from the installation system to the wall is noted. This size depends on how the sewer pipe will be brought to the installation, but this value cannot be less than 13.5 mm. Next, the location of the drain tank is marked.

As a rule, this element is located at a height of 1 m from the surface of the main floor. Naturally, the height of the installation for the toilet is also taken into account. Points are indicated on the floor and on the wall where it will be necessary to make holes for the installation fasteners.

Preparing the Fastener System

Regardless of whether a corner installation for a toilet bowl or a simpler design option will be performed, fasteners should be given special attention. According to the marks made on the walls, holes are drilled using a perforator, and dowels are inserted into them.

Attention! In fact, the design of the installation is not of fundamental importance, it always has a vertical and horizontal system fasteners.

Mounting anchors are inserted into the holes with dowels, which will allow you to fix a sanitary ware to the vertical plane of the body, in our case a toilet bowl. During the installation process, it is necessary to observe the sequence of installation of structural elements in order to avoid difficulties when adjusting the vertical level.

Wall hung toilet - perfect solution for small spaces

Direct installation installation

Here, the sequence of work does not change depending on whether the work is a narrow installation for a toilet bowl, a corner one or its most common modification.

• So, the installation body is installed on the prepared place and fixed with the help of special screws and adjusting nuts.
• The case must be exposed simultaneously on a horizontal and vertical level - this is the most crucial moment of installation:
• The horizontal level is adjusted by loosening the well structure of the special legs. They must be set at a certain height, after which the final position reached is fixed.
• The vertical level is adjusted in the process of fitting to the thread of the anchor, and the position achieved is fixed with a special plug.

Summing up communications

To connect, fixing plastic clamps will be used in the work, where the pipes from the drain tank and from sewer system. Now it remains to check whether all the elements of the system are tightened with high quality, once again make sure that the dimensions of the structure correspond to the dimensions of the toilet bowl, and also check that the position of the installation structure corresponds to both levels. Everything, now the do-it-yourself installation for the toilet is prepared for the installation of the plumbing product itself.

We bring the work to its logical conclusion

That is, we install the toilet bowl, while the connecting pipes that connect the installation and the toilet must be adjusted exactly in size. As you already understood, there are two of them - for water and sewerage. These elements are non-standard and must be included with the toilet - you cannot buy them separately.

Immediately before mounting the bowl, PVC sleeves are put on the studs, and a shock-absorbing gasket is also installed. The toilet bowl with attached pipes is put on the studs, then the fasteners are crimped with nuts, which are alternately tightened until the bowl sits tightly in its place.

A few words about the exterior

After installing the installation and installing the toilet, everything should look exactly like this

Naturally, the installation should be hidden - they cannot be an element of the interior. For sheathing, you can use the most different materials, here, as they say, who is on what much. We would like to recommend the simplest way - cladding with double waterproof drywall. The front cavity is sheathed with it in accordance with the template that is attached to the installation itself. All free sides of the structure are also sewn up. Well, the final finish should be in harmony with the overall stylistic decision of the wall surfaces of the bathroom.

How to choose and install a toilet installation - a complete overview

Installing a wall hung toilet

Wall hung toilet

Consumers are increasingly choosing wall-hung toilets for bathroom equipment. Of course, installing a wall-mounted toilet is a bit more complicated than installing a conventional floor-standing toilet in an apartment.

Before you install a wall-mounted toilet with your own hands, it is advisable to have an idea about its design.

At the heart of the whole structure is a rigid steel frame supplied by the manufacturer. special device for height adjustment. This frame is securely fastened to the floor and to a wall built of concrete or solid brick. Such equipment cannot be attached to drywall false walls. The toilet bowl is suspended from a steel frame on special pins. The toilet bowl is the visible part of the entire structure after installation.

Built-in cisterns for wall-hung toilets differ from ordinary ones in that they are made not of ceramics, but of plastic. Their depth is 9 cm, and the width is different. The plastic drain tank is additionally insulated with styrene - a material that protects against the formation of condensate. The drain tank is placed on a steel frame. The front part of the tank is equipped with a special cutout through which the push-button device for draining the water is mounted.

During operation, this opening provides access to the mechanism for repair and maintenance in case of replacement of defective parts. Modern models equipped with the function of dosing the volume of drained water using buttons. By clicking on one, 3 liters are drained, and on the other - 6 liters.

Before installing a wall-hung toilet, make sure you have the necessary tools and material.

Since different manufacturers have different equipment, it is better to buy a toilet bowl first, and then buy everything necessary materials for its installation and connection recommended by the manufacturer in the instructions. To carry out installation work, it is necessary to prepare:

• drill;
• drills for concrete;
• hammer;
• screwdriver with nozzles;
• adjustable wrench;
• FUM tape (to seal the thread);
• core;
• corrugation for a sewer pipe;
• building level;
• sheets of double waterproof drywall.

Toilet installation

Fastening scheme: 1 - Rods for fastening; 2 - Monolithic concrete base; 3 - Pipe.

Installation begins with the fact that it is necessary to install a steel rigid frame (installation), which must be firmly installed and fixed with dowels to the main wall and to concrete floor. At the installation site of the toilet, a sewer pipe with a diameter of 110 mm should be removed. It is necessary to provide for the supply of a water pipe.

The installation must be installed exactly with respect to the horizontal and vertical planes, for this, the building level is used. Installation is very easy, because the steel frame has retractable rods, as well as special studs for attaching the frame to the wall.

The height of the bowl can be adjusted according to the height of the people who will use the sanitary ware. Optimal Height installation of a wall-mounted toilet bowl can be selected empirically. It is usually done in such a way that the seat is approximately 40 cm from the floor.

The next installation step is to connect the outlet of the wall-hung toilet to the sewer outlet, while using a corrugation. To check the performance of the connection, "bait" the bowl on the frame and make a control drain. Then the bowl must be removed, since its installation is carried out at the very last moment.

Then the place of installation of the frame is sheathed with sheets of double waterproof drywall, which is directly attached to the installation and to the wall metal profile. The instructions supplied with the hanging equipment by the manufacturer include a template for easy cutting of the front of the skin. Its use facilitates the process of cutting the necessary technological holes in the drywall sheet.

After that, work on the surface cladding is carried out. ceramic tiles, matching the color of the overall interior of the bathroom.

After the tile adhesive is completely dry, the toilet bowl is fixed by hanging on 2 studs. They are wrapped in a metal frame of the installation system, which is located under the cladding.

Features of the installation of a hanging toilet

Diagram of a simple toilet for comparison.

1. All installation systems for connection to sewer pipes are equipped with nozzles with a diameter of 110 and 90 mm and an adapter for connecting to a plumbing fixture.
2. The installation itself uses a pipe with a diameter of 90 mm to make it easier to obtain a small bend radius.
3. The flush button is installed in the center of the front or top panel of the tank. In the event of a breakdown, by removing this key, you can access the internal fittings of the toilet bowl. Usually the key is not included in the kit, but sold separately.
4. In the event that the float mechanism fails, in order to prevent water from escaping, a drainage hole is built into the tank, through which excess water is drained into the toilet.
5. Almost all modern tanks modular systems equipped with a water saving function. It can be represented by two options: a double flush key ( most of keys - full drain, a smaller part - economical drain); Push / Stop system, which allows you to independently adjust the duration of the drain (when you press the button again, the drain stops, and if you do not press it again, all the water from the tank will drain).
6. For high-quality tiling, it is necessary to correctly set the location of the installation system relative to the facing joints. So, the drain tank button must be placed either in the center of the tile joint, or in the center of the tile (otherwise there will be unaesthetic asymmetry). Therefore, the installation is installed with an allowance of 2 mm, and the laying of tiles always starts from the button.
7. When using a mechanical drain key, the thickness of the wall that closes the structure should not be more than 6-7 cm.

Not so long ago, interesting alternatives to simple floor-standing toilets appeared on the market - suspended installations. Today, many consumers choose them, noting the interesting design of such products. But not all users know how to properly install such plumbing items. The article will discuss how to install simple and suspended installations.

What it is?

Installation is a special system, which is a well-thought-out design that allows you to securely and firmly fix the toilet bowl and other plumbing fixtures. In addition, such elements are necessary to hide plumbing connections.

Peculiarities

According to consumers and experts, modern suspended and floor installations are very convenient. Using such an interesting system, you can put the toilet so that its tank is securely hidden behind the wall. At the same time, it is additionally protected by a heat-insulating material, which provides sound insulation of plumbing in the process of its use.

When installing the installation, only the toilet bowl itself is always noticeable. Thanks to this feature, the room in the bathroom or toilet will seem much more spacious, even if in fact its area is modest.

Professionals say that the installation of such systems can be done by hand. To do this, you just need to stock up on all the necessary tools and clearly follow the step-by-step instructions. Of course, if you are not sure about own forces or are afraid to take on such work, then you better call experienced craftsmen,

If you decide to install a floor or suspended installation, then you should familiarize yourself with the advantages and disadvantages of such systems. First, let's look at their advantages.

• First of all, it should be noted the compact dimensions of such products. Thanks to this characteristic, suspended or floor installations can be installed even in very small rooms, where every centimeter counts.
• Such systems are distinguished by quiet operation, since the toilet bowls are hidden behind the walls.
• Many housewives note that it is much easier to clean rooms with such structures - there are fewer hard-to-reach areas.
• If you decide to install a suspended structure, then you will have the opportunity to lay out a mosaic or a beautiful tile pattern on the floor - nothing will interfere with such a composition, violating the integrity of the pattern.

• Properly installed installations save water. This is due to the fact that in such designs there are two buttons. One of them is responsible for a large flow of water, and the second for a small one.
• Such types of plumbing are not prone to breakage. If they do occur, they can be easily eliminated.
• Installations are quite acceptable to install in the conditions of "Khrushchev".
• Suspended and floor installations are reliable and durable structures. They seamlessly withstand impressive loads (up to 400 kg). Certainly, this advantage takes place if the toilet has been installed correctly, and the bowl itself is made of high-quality material.
• Suspended and floor installations look very original. Their design attracts attention and makes the interior of the bathroom or toilet more stylish and modern.

Installations also have their weaknesses, let's consider them in more detail.

• Such systems are not cheap. It should also be taken into account that, coupled with additional expenses for installation work, such a design can cost a tidy sum.
• In such designs there are always hidden elements that become inaccessible for repair and maintenance.
• Replacing classic toilets is a fairly simple job, but if you decide to replace the installation, then you will most likely have to renovate the entire room.

Kinds

There are several types of suspended and floor installations. Let's get to know them better.

block

Block installations have support posts and fasteners. Such structures can be used for the installation of both floor and suspended products. Block systems are reliable, strong and durable. Their installation is considered quite simple.

However, block installations have one serious drawback - they require the mandatory presence of a main wall in the room.

Framework

The frame (or frame) system is no less reliable, strong and durable. These structures can easily withstand loads up to 400 kg.

Frame options can be mounted on four points on the wall or two points on the floor and two on the ceiling. Sometimes such structures are installed directly on the floor.

Frame structures do not require a main wall, like block options. Such systems can be mounted not only on concrete and brick, but even on plasterboard partitions.

These structures are based on a solid steel frame. On it you can install not only the toilet, but also others additional elements. For example, it could be a sink or a bidet. It is possible to install the frame system not only near a straight wall, but also in a corner.

corner

If you want to choose an original and fashionable design that is far from the usual standards, then you should pay attention to corner installations. However, it should be noted that such a design can only be installed if there are right angles of 90 degrees in the room.

Installation corner products is more complex. In addition, such installations are more expensive than other options.

Varieties of toilet bowls

Contrary to popular belief, toilets can be different. They differ in the shape of the bowl, the method of flushing, the release into the sewer system and the material of manufacture.

By type of bowl

Toilets are equipped with bowls that have different shapes.

• One of the most popular are funnel models. They have a number of advantages for which they are chosen by many buyers. The main thing is that funnel-shaped products are hygienic, since in this design the funnel is located in the central part of the bowl. Funnel models do not have serious drawbacks, however, when using them, there is a high probability of a surge.

• The second most popular are dish-shaped toilet bowls. They are simple flat platforms. Such models are cleaned only under the action of a water jet. Similar Models are considered obsolete, but differ in that they exclude splashing. Unfortunately, dished bowls cannot be called highly hygienic, therefore, in Lately they are not that popular.
• And there are also common visor bowls. In such products there is a special protrusion that prevents the formation of a splash, as well as a slope with which the walls of the toilet are cleaned.

By type of flush

Toilets also differ in how they flush. This parameter depends on the direction of water flow. Modern manufacturers produce toilet bowls with direct and circular flush.

• Direct flushing occurs with the help of a water stream on one side of the bowl. Such models are durable and reliable, but they do not guarantee sufficient flushing of the entire surface of the toilet bowl. In addition, these products are quite noisy and create a lot of splashes. But models with such a flush are inexpensive.

• As for the circular flush, in it the water jets are directed at different angles and move in different directions. Thanks to this system, up to 95% of the bowl surface is processed and cleaned. In addition, flush toilets are not noisy.
• Less common are toilets with non-standard drain systems, which provide for the preliminary filling of the bowl with water, and then its quick descent. With this method, the flush fills the entire cavity of the toilet. The disadvantages of such products include excessive water consumption during operation. This figure can exceed 8 liters.

By release into the sewerage system

Modern varieties of toilet bowls also differ in the way they are discharged into the sewer.

• The oblique method was popular in the construction of riser structures in multi-apartment buildings of the 70-80s of the last century.
• Horizontal descent in our time is the most common. Most of the current buildings are designed to use toilets with such a system.
• And also there is a vertical descent. Today, such systems are used in both American continents.

According to the material of manufacture

Floor and wall-mounted toilet bowls are made from different raw materials. Each model has its own character traits And positive traits. Let us consider in more detail what materials modern toilet bowls are made of.

Faience

Toilet bowls made of a material such as faience cannot boast of high strength. And they also have a small porosity, so clean similar products is not an easy task. Currently, such raw materials are not used so often, since as a result, very fragile objects are obtained from it, on which chips, cracks and other mechanical damage easily remain.

Of course, in modern production, special technologies are used, thanks to which faience sanitary ware becomes more reliable, however, faience is much inferior to other materials from which toilet bowls of various modifications are made.

Porcelain

Porcelain toilet bowls are stronger and more durable. They are easy to clean. Such models can often be found in public institutions, as they easily withstand impressive loads and do not fail.

As for the disadvantages of porcelain toilets, they include the high cost of such products. To reduce costs, more affordable ceramics have become widespread.

Steel and cast iron

Metal plumbing is a classic. Toilets made of metal are most often found in in public places. Such products are distinguished by durability, strength and resistance to wear. They are almost impossible to damage or scratch. Steel and cast iron structures easily withstand heavy loads.

The disadvantages of such products include the relatively high cost. Cast iron toilet bowls are considered the least popular, as they have an impressive weight and poor durability of the enamel coating.

stone and glass

Glass and stone toilet bowls (natural or artificial) are classified as products from the "modern" category. Such plumbing items are expensive, but they have an elegant and attractive appearance.

Glass models cannot boast of excellent strength characteristics. However, there are many analogues of glass and stone, from which no less beautiful toilet bowls are made, which are more reliable, but are inexpensive.

Plastic

Thanks to modern technologies on sale you can find toilet bowls made of a material such as reinforced acrylic. Many consumers mistakenly believe that such products are not durable. Actually it is not. Acrylic models are different long term services. In addition, such products are quite practical - they have almost no porous surfaces, so they are easily cleaned of any contaminants.

The disadvantage of such plumbing is its susceptibility to deformation, which can be caused by mechanical stress or too high temperatures.

flush buttons

For modern installations special buttons are available. As a rule, they are quite large, since it is through them that you can get to the hidden tank.

If necessary, the button can be easily removed from the special latches with a simple thin screwdriver. After that, the decorative panel that surrounds the button is unscrewed. Similarly, other similar structures are dismantled.

If you have a pneumatic stop-drain button installed, then the causes of problems with such structures can be:

• failure in the power system;
• malfunction in the shut-off valve opening system.

To repair a pneumatic button, you must have special knowledge. If you have not worked with such elements before, then you should call the wizard.

There are also touch buttons. Such details look interesting, and it is convenient to use them. It is worth considering that the lion's share of damage to the touch buttons occurs due to violations of the integrity of the supply cable. Only an experienced person should repair such mechanisms.

Accommodation options

Regardless of which installation you choose, you need to start installation work with a competent choice of a place for the toilet. In city apartments of a standard layout, one can single out a truly suitable space - a niche in which there are water and sewer risers.

To install the installation, you will need to slightly redo the niche by placing risers in the corners. If they are made of metal, then it is recommended to replace them with plastic ones.

Before proceeding to installation work, it is necessary to apply the correct markup. For this you need to know exact dimensions installations.

Dimensions

Currently, toilets and installations of various sizes are sold in stores. However, the standard dimensions of floor models are 520x340 cm. The seat height in such options is 400 mm. There are models of toilets that have an increased length of 7-10 cm (such models are especially popular in America).

Suspended instances have different parameters:

• small models have a length of no more than 54 cm (perfect for compact spaces);
• medium ones are produced with a length of 54 to 60 cm (they are considered optimal products, as convenient as possible to use);
• large models with extended length up to 70 cm (ideal solution for elderly and obese users with disabilities).

What is included?

The set of floor and suspended installations includes the following components:

• frame;
• toilet bowl;
• seat with cover;
• tank;

• exhaust pipe;
• soundproofing;
• flush buttons;
• fasteners.

Installation

Many owners believe that it is very difficult to install the installation, and they cannot cope with such work on their own. Actually it is not. Consider step by step how to properly mount such a system with your own hands.

Tools

To install a floor or pendant installation yourself, you will need the following tools:

• laser or bubble level (choose a tool that will be more convenient for you to work with);
• a special construction pencil or marker for marking;

• perforator;
• drill for concrete;
• roulette;
• open-end wrenches (overhead).

Preparatory work

Installations assume the presence of a separate niche in the room, in which the frame will be located. It should be borne in mind that the walls in the room must be quite reliable and strong.

The niche in the room should have the following parameters:

• 1000mm high;
• 600 mm wide;
• 150-200 mm deep.

There are cases when the requirements for depth are quite difficult to fulfill. Then the niche should be made as deep as possible. At the same time, its disadvantage should be sheathed (closed) with drywall and covered with a finishing material.

Installation

After preparing the niche, you can proceed to the installation of the installation.

• First you need to fix the metal frames to the wall. As a rule, in these structures there are initially holes with which the frames are attached to the dowels.
• There should be two attachment points - to the wall and to the floor.
• Further, sewer and water pipes must be brought to the installation site.

• Be sure to check that the frame is level. Nowhere there should be distortions and significant deviations from the level.
• Horizontal adjustment should be made using wall mounts.
• On this stage the height level of the wall-hung toilet is also set. First of all, this parameter will depend on the growth of households. Most often, the height of the toilet in this case is 0.4 m. The height of the bowl can be adjusted at your discretion in the future.

Such structures should be mounted with all responsibility. All parts of the box must be fixed as evenly, securely and firmly as possible. Otherwise, the system may fail.

Connecting sewerage and water supply

After fixing the toilet, you need to bring water to the tank. To do this, you can use a flexible or rigid system. Most specialists use a hard approach, because it is more reliable, durable and durable. Of course, it is permissible to install flexible hoses, but if they get damaged or deformed, then they can not be easily reached and quickly removed. During the installation of the liner, the tank valve, like the drain, must be closed.

After connecting all the necessary elements, you need to check the reliability and quality of the fasteners. To do this, open the water in the tap and fill the tank. If you notice a leak, then it must be fixed. In this case, water may remain in the tank.

Next, you need to connect the toilet to the sewer. To do this, the drain hole of the plumbing fixture must be inserted into the outlet of the sewer pipe using a suitable corrugation. There are also models that can be assembled without using it.

After completing all work, you should make sure that the installed system is sufficiently tight. To do this, you need to temporarily screw the bowl to the frame. After that, it will need to be removed again. You can mount this part only at the end of all installation work.

Please note that the sewer pipe wiring must be connected before the installation itself begins. Its diameter should be 100 mm (norm). It must be laid with a special slope.

Finishing

After installation of all components, it is necessary to close the structures drywall sheet. Functional elements must be sewn up with similar sheets / panels. For the bathroom, you should buy only moisture-resistant drywall, which is more durable and wear-resistant than simple material.

Sheathing can be done in two ways:

• over the entire plane of the overlap;
• only along the plane where the installation is located.

The second way of finishing involves the formation of a small shelf located directly above the bowl. It can be used to place the items needed by the owners. After that, the closed barrier must be finished with tiles or PVC panels - it all depends on how the rest of the partitions in the room are decorated.

As you can see, self-assembly of a wall or floor installation can be done by hand. It is worth listening to some advice and recommendations from experts to make the design more reliable and of high quality.

• When installing the installation, the tank is always "hidden" in the wall. However, one way or another, you will need access to it. To do this, you need to mount an inspection hatch. It is better to place it just below the installation button.
• The installation location of the button must be planned, while taking into account the layout of the tiles on the walls. It is recommended to mount this part between adjacent tiles or in the central part of one of them.

• The thickness of the structure covering the installation should be no more than 70 cm.
• Leave a distance between the fasteners of plumbing. It should be 180-230 mm.
• To save water, it is recommended to select the appropriate buttons equipped with two types of drain.
• If the floor toilet has leaked, then you need to make sure that the plumbing is properly sealed. All joints and connection with the corrugation should be treated with sealant again.
• If the toilet is unstable, then you should tighten the bolts. However, this should be done more carefully so as not to disrupt the thread.
• Most often used for laying polypropylene pipes. In addition, all metal risers must be replaced with plastic ones.
• Before proceeding with the installation work, it is worth drawing up detailed drawings and a diagram of the future design. This is especially important if you decide to install a complex corner installation.

• If the bathroom is located in the central part of the living area (far from the capital floors), then only a frame structure should be installed in it.
• Before installing the installation, it is desirable to change the niche and remove the risers in the corner.
• Please note that the installation of suspended plumbing should only be started 10-14 days after fixing the frame.
• When adjusting the height of the wall-mounted toilet bowl, it is necessary to rely on the distance from the center of the horizontal sewer outlet to the level of the finished floor. It is also necessary to take into account the slope of the pipes.
• Do not proceed with the installation of the installation until you carefully study the instructions that come with it.

• Before installing the toilet, do not forget to make a "output" of cold water pipes.
• Remember that any problems in the inside of the barrel are quite easy to identify: carefully examine all the nodes. All moving elements should “walk” without problems, the connections should be as tight and reliable as possible, there should be no distortions in the design.
• The frame can only be installed after the screed and waterproofing of the floor have been made.
• IN wooden house it is recommended to mount lower and wider installations. Thus, the load on the wall will be significantly reduced. Otherwise, it is better to attach the structure to the floor.
