Installing a toilet installation: preparing for installation with your own hands

Toilets familiar to everyone are gradually losing their popularity. All communications look painfully ugly. And the space needs to be somehow more rationally distributed. Both of these tasks can be solved by installing a toilet bowl.

The structure on which the hanging toilet is fixed easily hides inside itself not only pipes and inlets, but also a cistern. Useful space is freed up a lot. All this sounds scary enough, but if you look at it ...

Installation options

All installations can be divided into two types. These are frame-type and block-type constructions. For fixing a block installation, it is necessary to have a capital, load-bearing wall. The block installation includes a plastic tank and drain fittings. In addition, there is also a set of fasteners for the toilet.

The frame installation as a base has a metal frame, on which the toilet bowl fasteners are installed, as well as sewer outlets. In terms of its cost, it is more expensive than the block one. Direct frame installation subspecies - corner version. It can be easily installed in the corner of the room, thereby making it more spacious.

In corner installations, plumbing equipment is optimally located. Two devices are located inside one block. Corner models are installed in the same way as standard options. An example of an assembly can be seen in the diagram below.

Advantages and disadvantages of the installed structures

Already in many apartments and private houses you can find built-in plumbing equipment. The people appreciated all the advantages that open up with this installation option. Among the positive qualities are the following:

• small size, allowing not only to free up space, but also to expand the space visually;
• convenient access to all external elements, which allows for easy and quick maintenance;
• silent drainage of water due to insulation;
• the ability to make a separate drain, which will save water;
• reliability and long service life of the structure;
• do not interfere with the installation of warm floors, as well as tiles.

However, they are not devoid of disadvantages, namely:

• there is no access to communications, as they are hidden by a decorative wall;
• although the installation is considered very reliable, but if a leak occurs in the drain tank, then for it elimination, it will be necessary to dismantle the decorative wall, which will entail additional expenses;
• in the form of an assembled structure, the installation saves space, but at the installation stage it will sometimes be necessary to expand the space to install the frame;
• classic toilets do not require strong walls, which cannot be said about block installations.

Preparing for the installation of the installation yourself

Before starting work, you will need to stock up on the necessary tools for work, prepare a workplace. For work you will need:

• to make holes in the walls, you will need a perforator;
• to control placement along the horizontal and vertical plane, you need to have a building level;
• in addition, you will need to prepare wrenches, drills and a hammer, screwdrivers, pliers;
• you need a tape measure and a pencil for marking.

Spending some time on preparing everything you need, you will save on installation time and save your own nerves.

When preparing for work, you need to consider the following:

• how accurately the niche is marked and whether it is suitable to establish the model that you plan to purchase;
• it will be reasonable to purchase a product as a whole set, so as not to deal with then fitting and selection of parts;
• when buying equipment, you should carefully read the complete set;
• decide on the method of fastening, which will affect the success of the installation work.

In addition, it is better to purchase a model that has electronic control and with a better position of the drain buttons. This will ensure comfortable operation of the device.

Installation of the structure

Let's look at the process step by step.

We apply the markup

Before installing plumbing with installation, it is necessary to mark the installation site. First, you need to draw a line on the wall that will mark the center of the entire structure. From the wall, you need to measure the distance to the device. This distance depends on how the sewer system will be connected to the installation.

However, it should be borne in mind that you do not need to do less than fifteen millimeters - it is quite possible to leave more space. After that, we outline the place for installing the tank. Usually it is fixed at the level of a meter from the floor. Do not forget to take into account the height of the installation itself. We mark the places of fasteners on the wall and floor.

Important! At this stage, you should be very careful and be attentive, even to the smallest details. This is the key to success in the installation process.

Preparation of the fastening system

It makes absolutely no difference whether you buy an angular model or a simpler one, but the fasteners must be of high quality. Using a puncher, holes are made in the wall. The marks that were applied earlier will help not to make a mistake in their application. Dowels are inserted into the prepared holes.

Important! The type of installation is not critical. In any case, it will have vertical and horizontal fasteners. Anchor fasteners must be installed in the prepared dowels - it will make it possible to mount the device case vertically. During installation, all elements should be placed sequentially, as this will facilitate further vertical level adjustment.

Toilet bowl installation with installation

The sequence of actions during operation does not depend on the type of installation - it is narrow or angular, or maybe typical. The installation body should be put in the place that was prepared.

It needs to be fixed with screws and adjustment nuts. It will be correct to check the compliance with the level horizontally and vertically. This is one of the most important points.

The horizontal adjustment is made by means of the legs. They should be set to the desired height and secured. Vertical adjustment is carried out with anchor fasteners, after which the plug is installed.

We supply plumbing and sewerage systems

To make the connection, we will use plastic clamps for fixing. They fix the drain pipes from the tank, as well as from the sewage system.

After fixing, you need to additionally make sure that everything is fixed with high quality. Does the design match the dimensions of the toilet bowl? Carry out an additional check of the conformity of the level vertically and horizontally. Now we can say that the structure is finally assembled and ready to install the toilet.

Final stage

The installation work has been completed, the time has come to install the toilet bowl. Check that the connecting pipes from the installation to the toilet are of the correct size. There are exactly two of them. One is for the sewerage system, the second is for the water supply system. These parts are supplied as a set, since they are non-standard in their dimensions and cannot be purchased separately.

Before putting the bowl, you need to put PVC couplings on the studs. Don't forget to install a cushioning pad as well. After attaching the pipes to the toilet bowl, install it on the studs, fix the fasteners with nuts. Tighten the nuts sequentially until you achieve a full fit. Do not overtighten the nuts to avoid damaging the structure.

As you can see, a little experience in installation work, patience, attentiveness and accuracy is enough. and you can easily build a luxurious and modern installation in your own home for your "white friend".
