Toilets with vertical flush to the floor

The modern range of sanitary ware is astonishingly diverse. Of all this abundance, it is necessary to choose something alone. Focus solely on personal tastes, preferences, external aspects of the toilet bowl is not possible, because it is banal it may not match the type of sewer, your proportions.

Models with a vertical outlet are quite popular, although they are less in demand than their counterparts. Let's talk about them in more detail.

Such toilets have gained great popularity in Europe, while in Russia they are quite rare. They are designed for installation inside old houses.

Today they are recommended for installation in private cottage houses. Their key feature is the configuration - siphon and outlet pipe are built into the product itself.

They are installed in a variety of ways, because they are not attached to the wall. Due to the peculiarities of design, the sanitary ware is installed close to the wall, thereby saving space.

Consider the main positive aspects of plumbing products with a vertical outlet:

• Expands the boundaries on the layout, allows you to choose the place of installation independently;
• Compactness during installation makes it possible to save space inside the room, to occupy it with additional plumbing, furniture;
• The water level in the toilet bowl is high, which ensures the hygiene of the product;
• Has an effective flushing system;
• The presence of a built-in siphon gives a powerful force on the retraction of waste when flushing;
• Water does not splash when flushing;
• The cistern has a strong and reliable design.

The vertical type of toilet has no serious disadvantages:

• The need to cut a separate hole in the slab during installation;
• Limited range, which leads to a rather difficult search for the necessary plumbing.

The main nuance is the presence of a built-in siphon and a hidden spigot. As a result, the product is mounted in any place and at any angle relative to the wall.

If you have certain design ideas about the interior of the toilet, then the best solution for you will be a vertical toilet. But to mount it in typical apartment buildings of modern projects is problematic.

Choosing a vertical model, bring the question of choice to perfection to get the perfect plumbing for your home. So what should it be?

1. Made of porcelain. Compared to earthenware, the price is not much different, but porcelain is much easier to keep clean.
2. The mirror is located in the back and has an anti-splash system. Such a set will protect against splashing when draining, as well as keep the bowl clean.
3. Drain of circular type only. This type of drain allows you to wash the bowl in a circle, thereby effectively deal with dirt.
4. High quality fittings. Spend a little more money, but buy really good fittings. This will save you from breakages and the need for plumbing maintenance.

Toilets that have a vertical outlet are divided among themselves on the basis of several criteria.

There are different materials, including stainless steel, bronze, copper, glass and other exclusive variations. But they are used rarely and are very expensive. Therefore, we will consider practical and adequately priced materials.

1. Earthenware. A cheap version of ceramics, which can easily cope with the effects of chemicals. But the structure of the material is large-porous, due to which contaminants accumulate rather quickly, penetrate the structure. If you cover the product with a glaze, the problem disappears.

2. Porcelain. A little more expensive than earthenware, but it is polluted much less, cleaned much easier.

3. Artificial stone. It is created by combining acrylic and quartz sand. Partially resistant to acids, alkalis and abrasive components. But has an important plus for many - the texture looks amazing.

Today, toilets are available with several options for the location of the water mirror.

1. Back. The bowl remains clean, but when draining there are splashes. Compensate for this disadvantage can the anti-splash system.
2. Forward displacement. Here the situation is quite the opposite. That is, there is no splashing, but you have to use the mop on a regular basis.

The drain can be backward or circular. The first option allows you to effectively clean the area of the toilet bowl that is subject to the most contamination during use, but in the other areas the waste remains unflushed.

A circular flush washes the entire bowl, but the water flow is not as intense.

The installation process of the toilet with a vertical flush does not cause much difficulty. Therefore, it is not necessary to call a specialist, if you have at least a little experience in such cases.

1. Dismantle the old product, turn off the water supply.
2. Clean the surface, prepare the basis for installing a new toilet, if necessary. It is desirable to degrease the area under the toilet bowl.
3. Make a marking according to the hole for the fasteners on your new plumbing fixtures.
4. Install a screw-type flange in the floor, which has a clamp and a hole for the joint with the sewer system. All flanges are identical in size.
5. All vertical toilets are equipped with a special element in the kit from the manufacturer. It serves to joint with the flanges.
6. Put the toilet bowl in place so that all the holes and joints are aligned.
7. Turning a little bit of the entire structure, the two elements will join together, thus providing a tight joint. Additional sealing is obtained by the presence of a sealing ring located between the parts. Accordingly, it is also very easy to dismantle the construction if necessary.

If you have no experience, no desire or time to do the installation of plumbing yourself, call the experts. Many specialized stores that offer branded sanitary ware, provide services of their masters of installation and subsequent warranty and post-warranty service. Such a service makes sense, even if you are confident and ready to install the toilet yourself.
