How to install the toilet with your own hands?

When choosing a toilet bowl, you should consider the size of the room in which it will be located. In addition, it is necessary to choose the right combination of colors of the toilet bowl, the rest of the bathroom fixtures and style of the bathroom room.

Most often found in stores porcelain and faience toilets, but sometimes you can find a metal. In form, the toilets are almost all the same, except they have some minor differences in size and placement of the outlet.

In most cases, the toilets with floor mounting are used, which are the most familiar. It can be equipped with a special control panel.

It is also possible to meet wall-hung toilets, which allows more space in the room. In recent years, in more and more places you can find exactly these toilets, because they are fixed by a really convenient and new technology. Thanks to this model of toilet bowls there is a chance to hide the cistern in the wall. The most often the function of automatic flushing is installed in such toilet bowls.

In general, there is a third variety, the so-called "Asian toilet", Which at its installation "recessed" into the floor, that is, at the same level with him. It is quite specific and is practically not used in Russia.

If you decide to change the toilet in the bathroom, then do not forget that the first thing to get rid of the old, and it can be a lot more trouble than installing a new one.

It will be easier for those owners who have an old toilet installed over tile in the toilet or bathroom. In this case, you will only have to squeeze the mounting screws, scrape off the glue or sealant that goes from the floor to the toilet and just remove the toilet bowl itself.

Much harder if your toilet is installed under the tiles, because in this case it is filled with concrete, and to get it manually, you will not work. In this case, you have to use a hammer or hammer and just break the toilet bowl. Before you start doing this, do not forget to wear protective goggles and gloves, because if your toilet is tiled, then you can hurt yourself with the shards. Once you have completely broken your toilet bowl, all you have to do is clean up the debris and cement the hole in the floor and that's it.

However, it's not just the toilet bowl that can be a problem for the owner.

The second problem could be the connection of the toilet bowl to the sewage outlet. If the connection is made with a corrugated or plastic pipe, then you can easily disconnect it from the toilet, put a new one and connect it back.

In the case where the toilet is connected to the sewer pipe made of cast iron, then everything is harder, because you will need to do everything carefully, so as not to beat the cast iron. To do this, you will need to break the toilet bowl and carefully detach it from the cast iron pipe itself. Afterwards, do not forget to clean the sewer pipe from the remains of the tile.

You will be lucky if the base in the floor from the old toilet fits the new one and you only have to screw a few screws. However, in some cases there is a problem here as well. It seems that the dimensions fit and all is well, but here you lower the dowels into the holes from the old mount and realize that they freely walk there. In this state to leave the toilet in no case can not, because if dowels do not sit tight, the toilet will wobble, and at one point may even fall. In this case, as well as in the case of fixing, if that does not fit, you will have to drill holes in the floor. To do this, you need to choose a place where the fully assembled toilet will fit without problems, and will reach the sewer pipe.

Preparatory steps:

• it is necessary to shut off the water;
• Close the sewer hole;
• Prepare the tools.

Necessary tools and materials:

• drill;
• concrete drill bit;
• silicone sealant;
• adjustable wrench;
• dowels and screws;
• drain hose;
• flush pipe;
• marker.

The process of installation of the floor toilet:

• First, try on the toilet by installing it on the proposed place of installation. Make marks with a marker for fixing bolts and determine how much, it will be necessary to fit the flush pipe. Connect the toilet to the sewer system, treat all joints with sealant.
• In the prepared holes fix dowels, if you have to drill through the tiles, include a percussion mode drill, otherwise the tiles can not withstand the load and crack.
• On the floor on the inside of the toilet, apply sealant And let it dry well also apply sealant and the base of the toilet bowl. When everything dries, install the toilet bowl in its place and smoothly tighten the mounting screws.
• Install the cistern, following the instructions, and check it by filling it with water from a bucket. If there are no leaks, you can safely connect the cistern to the water supply.

Suspended models of the toilet is much more convenient, they take up less space, so they are well suited for rooms with a small area. Moreover, such models can have antibacterial coating and various technical innovations: illumination, automatic drain or a special system of dissipators. The wall-hung toilets can withstand a load of up to four hundred kilograms. Keeping track of cleanliness in the bathroom will become much easier, which is sure to please homeowners.

And this is not the whole list of its advantages. The variety of forms, finishes and design solutions in the creation of wall-hung toilets exceed the boldest expectations of buyers. In addition, the compactness of the toilet bowl allows you to install a bidet along with it, even in a small bathroom.

Suspended toilets are mounted on special metal frames, which then together with the system of pipes and valves are hidden by a false wall. Of course, such a design will steal some space in your bathroom, but in terms of aesthetics - it is a very advantageous and fashionable solution.

If you decide to do the installation of the wall-hung toilet yourself, then read the following step-by-step instructions:

All modern construction organizations, engaged in the construction of new buildings, are guided by one project and, therefore, all apartments turn out the same type.

In such an apartment for the installation of a hanging toilet should choose a place near the water and sewage riser.

After selecting the location you should install the frame. As a rule, the frame is a conventional metal frame, secured with screws to the wall and floor. Buy a frame you can in a construction store, almost all of them fit most varieties of hanging toilets.

The cistern is installed inside the frame, so you should understand that after installing the metal box itself you will not be able to install the cistern there. Therefore, before installing the frame itself, assemble the cistern and install it so that the drain pipe comes out of it.

Once you have finished installing the frame, you should decide on the option of water supply to the cistern. There are two options for the approach: lateral and upper.

Almost all barrels designed for wall-mounted toilets are simultaneously designed for two options, so you just have to choose how it will be more convenient for yourself. Once you have decided, do not forget to run the water pipe to the barrel.

As a choice of pipe material, it is best to settle on plastic. Compared to flexible rubber hoses, plastic pipes are much more durable. With this type of installation, getting to the metal frame, which will be hidden behind the false wall, will be difficult. Therefore, you should understand that replacing the water pipe running to the barrel will be a very difficult task.

Panel to flush, most likely, you will have to buy separately, as it is rarely found in the set with toilets and barrels. It is worth noting that not always, for flushing the wall-hung toilet uses a storage tank. Sometimes a button is directly connected to the water supply, inside which a timer is laid, allowing you to stop the water after ten seconds after pressing it. This miracle of technology is called - the device of a pressurized cistern.

Do not forget that the sewer outlet from the toilet is not yet connected to the common riser. Treat all joint surfaces with sealant and connect the drain pipe to the sewer system. Now do not rush to cover your metal frame with a false wall. You should first make sure that all mechanisms are properly connected and there are no faults anywhere.

Before the toilet is installed, the false wall is often tiled. Do not forget that after you have mounted the false wall, must pass at least ten days, so that all the layers of liner completely dried and in the process of installing the toilet did not cause problems with peeling or cracking coating. The toilet bowl is installed in the specially designated places on the false wall, which you should have prepared in advance.

When the installation of the toilet bowl itself is complete, the last detail is left - the installation of the flush button. In the instructions, attached to the flush button, indicates on examples of drawings, how to do it correctly. That's it, that's the end of the installation of your wall-hung toilet. If you did everything according to the instructions, then the next few years you definitely should not have any problems.

In a private home, the toilet bowl is installed almost the same system as in the most ordinary apartment. You can attach the toilet bowl to the floor with the most common screws.

However, problems sometimes arise during the connection of the toilet bowl to the sewer. To avoid this, you should first familiarize yourself with the location of sewage pipes and the material from which they are made.

Typically, private homes are installed pipes made of gray cast iron, which are coated with a special solution, which increases their corrosion resistance. If you have installed this type of pipe, you will not have any problems with the connection of the toilet to the sewer. During connection, just do not forget to treat the pipes with an anti-corrosion solution if you want your pipes do not deteriorate for many years.

There is nothing complicated in this matter, just do not forget to clean your toilet with special antibacterial chemicals and products that prevent the formation of limescale and urine scale.

As for the entire sewage and piping system in general, in order for you to have no problems with them, it will be enough only once a month to pour a bucket of hot water into your toilet bowl and periodically use special chemicals that are designed to prevent blockages.
