A steel frame with the necessary holes and specific fasteners, capable of withstanding a huge load (almost all systems are designed for a load of 500 kilograms), and this is the basis of the entire constructions.

Despite such impressive parameters and names, the frame itself allows in many ways to significantly save space in small washrooms, because thanks to the successful placement and specific type of installation of plumbing fittings and sewer pipes, not only significantly saves space, but also creates an attractive external view.

Indeed, when using a pendant toilet bowl the space visually expands due to the fact that unnecessary elements of the interior are removed - a cistern, the device itself seems to float in the air, allowing you to expand the floor space.

More specifically, what the installation is like, you can only list all its elements:

  • steel frame of the frame;
  • cistern;
  • frame attachment to the wall and floor;
  • spacers;
  • toilet seat attachment;
  • drain system;
  • plumbing fittings;
  • sewer pipes;

Frame system dimensions

Frame installation scheme

So, the main dimensions in the case of a frame installation will be the dimensions of the frame and the main parts:

  1. Built-in cistern in almost all manufacturers it is made of high-quality plastic and has dimensions that are unified for all brands, thickness 90 mm, width up to 500 mm.
  2. Frame truss height - 1020-1400 mm, of which 200 mm will be buried in the concrete base of the floor.
  3. Frame width - 500 mm.
  4. Depth of installation from 150 to 300 mm.
  5. Height from the floor to the center of the sewer pipe of the bowl of the device - 220 mm.
  6. Holes for mounting the toilet fixing studs - 320 mm.
  7. Distance between the centers of the holes for fixing the toilet it is made universal for almost all types and types of frames - 180 and 230 mm.

Block system dimensions

Block system:

  1. Height - 800-1000 mm.
  2. Depth - 100-150 mm.

The wall fixing system has corresponding holes for anchor bolts depending on the manufacturer, but most of them are placed in the corners of the structure, and only some have additional holes in the middle.

Sizes of wall-hung toilet bowls

Despite the fact that the dimensions of the suspension systems seem miniature, this is in many ways just an optical illusion, the floating bowls of this plumbing have quite real and specific dimensions:

  1. Product length class standard (not "mini" and not "medium", so to speak, for a standard consumer) - from 500 to 600 mm (if more specifically mini - these are products up to 54 cm, "standard" - 550-600 mm, but enlarged ones are 700 mm ).
  2. Appliance width from 300 to 400 mm.
  3. Bowl height from 300 to 400 mm.

How to choose the right installation size?

The choice of the type and size of the structure is largely influenced by the size of the bathroom - for a large room, where it is possible to install not only a toilet bowl, but also a bidet, a frame system is preferable, for a room with a solid, load-bearing wall - block, in non-standard rooms, it is possible to use a corner frame installations.

In each specific situation, it is necessary to proceed from the specific conditions of the room and take into account not only the wishes of the customer, but also the elementary norms:

  1. The minimum distance from the edge of the toilet to the wall in front of it not less than 60 cm.
  2. Consider the distance from the center of the device to the sides, this is also about 60 cm.

Block installation

The fastening systems used today are divided into two approximately equal parts:

  1. Framed installations.
  2. Blocky installations.

The first type got its name from the structure of the supporting part - a steel frame on which all the components of the structure are attached. The good thing about the frame system is that it is almost universal - it can be installed either near the wall or be built into the wall itself.

In addition, it can be used as a base for a partition, because the frame can be attached in several places - both to the wall and to the floor, and in some cases, only to the floor.

The advantage of the frame structure is the manufacturers' concern for the presence of many accessories in the installation and the excellent proprietary anti-corrosion treatment of the structure. The downside, probably, should be called the price of such a work.

The block installation, in contrast to the frame installation, has a somewhat simplified design and consists of a system fixing the toilet - plates for installation on a solid wall using anchors and a cistern with the necessary fasteners.

Most often, this type of installation is used in rooms where it is possible to make a niche in the main wall, and thus hide all the elements of the installation. That is why partitions or walls of small thickness are absolutely unsuitable for installation.

Price

And now, when almost everything is known about different systems of bathroom comfort, we will talk about the price. The difference in price of some systems that are practically identical in functionality can be up to 5,000 rubles.

In the first line, as always, there are works of German and Swiss firms. Frame structures of plumbing manufacturers start at 15,000 rubles, meaning a complete installation kit, including a flush button, but without a toilet.

A more modest version of German production, in which the drain button is proposed to be selected separately, will cost about 8000-9000 rubles. The block system will cost even less, about 7,500 rubles. You can choose a complete set yourself, for example, a tank will cost from 5,000 rubles.

The most economical system will come out of incomplete parts, such a frame installation constructor will cost 7000-8000 rubles as a whole, however, it will require slightly more time for fitting and installation compared to the air-conditioned version.

Advantages and disadvantages

Wall hung toilet

Considering the positive sides and ideas to hide the cistern in the wall and hang the toilet above the floor, you can immediately highlight several pleasantly positive aspects.:

  1. New equipment.
  2. Toilet hanging in the air does not create problems in the floor space - the problem of cleaning under it is solved once and for all.
  3. Practical for installation.
  4. Installation, will allow you to significantly increase the size of the room, not only visually, but also realo - the used containers of the drain barrels are not less than the traditional ones, but much more compact, and given the location behind the plasterboard structure, they will not create problems with the location.

However, in addition to the advantages, there is a downside, which must be remembered:

  1. The installation itself is a very robust and reliable structure., but subject to the correct, and most importantly, qualified approach to installation, using only the recommended fasteners and elements.
  2. Placement as a base for cladding plasterboard structures will block access to communications, therefore, before installation, you should not just repair it, and replace water and sewer pipes if the installation is planned in the premises of the old at home.
