The bathroom drain system plays a significant role, performing two important functions. First, it drains the liquid from the tank. Secondly, it prevents the penetration of external sewage odors into the room.
The fluid drainage system consists of several essential elements:
- Siphon;
- Drain neck;
- Overflow neck;
- Hoses
- A pipe that acts as a siphon and sewer connector.
When connecting these parts, it is necessary to use rubber seals, which will provide reliable sealing of the entire system and prevent any leaks. They need to be changed periodically, but their cost is affordable.
Installation of the drain system
One of the tricks of installation can be called the location of the sewer pipe in relation to the drain hole. It needs to be placed under a slope, which will ensure high-quality and quick drainage of liquid from the bathroom.
The second trick will make it possible to significantly increase the service life of sewer pipes and prevent their clogging. Before installing into the pipe, a small amount of cleaning agent must be poured. The best choice is the substance used to remove dirt and plaque in the bathroom.
After cleaning the pipe, its inner surface should be sanded with rags. Such simple actions are guaranteed to increase the life of the structure.
Professionals recommend using sealants in addition - transparent fast-hardening substances that will increase the level of reliability of the drain system. This is especially true of its joints.
Mounting tools
Installation of the drainage system can be quickly performed by specialists, however, in case of independent work, you need to prepare all the necessary tools and materials. The process will use screwdrivers of different diameters, a hammer or a chisel - if you need to break the cement and dismantle the old drain, silicone sealant, liquid nails.
Auxiliary elements will be:
- Compact and bright flashlight;
- A piece of rag for stripping pipes;
- Cleaning agent;
- Brush.
A bright flashlight will be needed to closely monitor the operation of the installed drain system. It is better to choose devices of small sizes that will allow you to get all the hard-to-reach spots and check the quality of the work performed upon completion.
