What is an oblique release of the toilet: features, pros and cons of a toilet with an oblique release

Are you choosing the toilet of your dreams, but while studying the characteristics, you came across an incomprehensible item "oblique release"? Now I will tell you what it is and what it is for.

Slanting toilet: what does it mean

We could beat around the bush as much as we like, but looking the truth in the eyes, we have to admit: the main function of the toilet is it is not the provision of aesthetics or convenience, but a reliable disposal into the sewer, so to speak, of waste products person. And this is what the issue is responsible for.

It is a wide pipe under the toilet bowl that connects it to the sewer system.It is through her that, when flushed, what should go away.

Depending on its direction, the outlet can be horizontal, vertical or oblique. The latter is exactly what we need. Oblique is the one that is located at an angle with respect to the sewer pipe. Visually, you can see the differences in this picture.

For joining the oblique release, they additionally use:

• plastic transitional elbow;
• eccentric - special, rotating cuffs along its axis;
• flexible corrugated sleeve;
• sealant - to reduce the risk of leakage.

Reference! To connect it to the sewer, take a corrugated sleeve (or another more convenient and suitable tool) and thoroughly coat it with sealant on both sides. Then put one end on the sewer pipe, and with the other on the oblique outlet. Do not forget to check the tightness by flushing out the water: nothing should drip or leak.

Features, pros and cons of the oblique outlet toilet

If you already know for sure that only this option is suitable for your sewage system, then you can consider yourself lucky. Slant toilets are the most popular models on the modern plumbing market, which are presented in a wide range in all stores. Therefore, you will have much more choice than if you needed any other option.

The oblique release is universal, since if additional funds are available, it can be connected to absolutely any sewer system (as opposed to, for example, a vertical one, which is suitable only for the one located in floor). Considering that most of the risers in Russian apartments are "sharpened" for it, this explains the popularity of this option.

Reference! That is why it is recommended to buy toilets with oblique outlet for city apartments. Owners of cottages and private houses more often opt for a vertical one.

Why is he so good? Due to the fact that the pipe runs at an angle, and not straight (as in the horizontal version), the risk of leaks and clogging of the toilet bowl is significantly reduced, because the banal laws of gravity work here. The oblique outlet is mounted much simpler than its alternatives, and even a non-professional can perform its connection to the sewer.

Its only drawback can be called only in comparison with the horizontal one - it is that the second option (with a suitable location sewer pipe) is more suitable if you need to place the toilet as close to the wall as possible, for example, to save space.

Attention! As much as you want to save space, always think that you also have to clean the toilet. The hand with the rag should be free to pass behind the toilet.

Hopefully, you now have a slightly more complete understanding of what an oblique release is and how it differs from the rest. It has much more advantages over analogues than disadvantages, so I recommend choosing it, especially if you are the owner of a city apartment.
