Toilet installation technology

Installing a toilet bowl with your own hands is a simple task, you only need to know some of the nuances. The technology of installation and connection of various types of toilet bowls is almost the same. The difference lies in the connection of additional functions or the installation of automatic equipment.

To connect the toilet to the sewer, you will need a corrugation.

The installation of a toilet bowl, the instructions for which must be included in the kit, can be done by anyone. Installing equipment for collecting and draining water is also simple, however, special attention should be paid to the installation of the float of the drain tank. A float valve is needed to adjust the pressure and amount of water in the tank. The following is a guide to installing a toilet bowl.

Toilet sizing chart.

If you decide to start installing the toilet, then you will need a guide, preferably a visual one. Instructions on how to install the toilet will be invaluable help in performing this procedure.

First, before installing a new toilet, you must dismantle the old one.

Dismantling of old equipment should be carried out according to the following scheme:

• the water supply is shut off;
• the inlet hose is unscrewed from the tank;
• fasteners to the floor are unscrewed or beaten off;
• the toilet is tilted back and the residual water is poured out;
• the toilet is detached from the socket.

It will not be difficult to buy a new piece of plumbing, because today in the building materials market you can choose a toilet bowlsuitable in appearance and cost for any person.

After that, you can start installing new equipment.

The instruction, based on the norms and rules established by GOST, states that the height of the toilet bowl from the floor should be 40.0 - 45.0 cm.

Instructions for installing a toilet bowl as standard

Diagram of a toilet bowl.

For work you will need:

• building level;
• perforator;
• sealant;
• screwdrivers;
• a hammer.

It is necessary to determine the exact "coordinates" of the installation of new equipment. The easiest option is to install in the old place. But it happens that the dwelling is subjected to redevelopment, then you will need to choose the right place for installation, taking into account the location of the sewer socket, the tap for supplying water to the tank and, of course, convenience and comfort.

Note! Before finally fixing the device in the chosen place, you should sit on the toilet and see if it is conveniently located. This will help you avoid a lot of problems later on.

Installing a toilet on the floor

Scheme of a floor toilet.

Installing equipment on a tile is quite simple. The base of the toilet is equipped with two holes. to the intended installation site, using a pencil, outline these holes on the floor. The toilet is moved to the side.

Then, according to the marks, holes of a diameter suitable for the size of the dowels are drilled. Then dowels are carefully driven into the drilled holes, and the bowl is put in place.

Rubber washers are put on the screws included in the kit. The screws are threaded into the corresponding holes in the toilet bowl and screwed into the floor. You can hide the screws by putting plastic tips on them.

It is also possible to install the bowl on a silicone substrate, using the above instructions, but special wedges are inserted under the base of the toilet bowl, and silicone is introduced into the gap formed. Then the bowl is fixed with bolts. This option is used if the floor is uneven (the roll is leveled with silicone under the base).

Another way is to sit on the glue. Using epoxy glue, lubricate the installation site and the base of the toilet bowl. Then the toilet is connected to the sewer pipe and strongly pressed to the floor. This method can be used if it is not possible to drill holes, for example, when installing on a heated floor.

If the equipment is installed on a wooden floor, the wooden taffeta or rubber underlay is installed first.

To the sewer, you need a corrugation. It is flexible and can be stretched or compressed to the desired length. At one end it is connected to the outlet of the toilet bowl, and at the other end it is inserted into the outlet of the riser. If necessary, sealant is applied.

Tank Installation Instructions

Having equipped the place, it is necessary to prepare the toilet bowl for installation (connect the drain tank to the bowl). In order to do this, a rubber gasket with a hole for draining water is installed between the tank and the bowl. Then, washers and rubber gaskets in the form of cones are put on the bolts included in the kit. Bolts are threaded into the corresponding holes in the tank and bowl, washers are put on and nuts are carefully screwed on.

The nuts are tightened with care, otherwise the toilet bowl or tank may burst. Having twisted them a little, a little water is poured into the tank, and if it does not leak, then the installation of the tank is over.

After that, the seat and lid can be installed on the toilet bowl, securing them with special bolts.

If the well-known literary classic lived in our days, his famous saying could sound like this: "if in the first act a toilet hangs on the wall, then in the third act it should shoot."

Today we will talk about Cersanit toilet installations(Cersanit). Once, I heard from a friend of mine that he did not really understand the phrases " installation installation«, « how to install installation". After all, the English word "installation" is translated as "installation". And that's right. It turned out that he had other meanings: installation, assembly, placement, installation in place, and even "introduction."
So, it is about the installation and installation of the suspended toilet bowl Cersanit that I will talk about on this page.

The installation frame consists of two metal parts, lower and upper. They are very simply and securely connected to each other, forming a single structure.
Before assembling, I advise you to carefully study the manufacturer's recommendations for assembling the frame. There is nothing complicated, even the child will figure it out. Of course, for a child, such a constructor will be heavy.

The whole difficulty, as you rightly think, is not in the assembly of the structure, but in the installation of the frame into place and the connection to the pipes. We are interested in two pipes. One is a drain supplying cold water to the storage tank, the other is a sewer pipe. It is with the last pipe that the main problems are associated with the installation of a hanging toilet bowl.

Choosing a place to install a wall hung toilet

Any toilet bowl, even standing on the floor, even suspended, must be installed as close as possible to the sewer riser. It would be a big mistake to install this sanitary fixture a few meters from the aforementioned pipe or even in another room. Only in the movies you can see how sewer pipes randomly wander through all the rooms of the apartment without any system, neglecting the level of slope, which the ancient Romans, who built the aqueducts, knew about.

For example, in the French film “Not a Moment of Peace” with Christian Clavier in the title role, we see how the drain pipes were destroyed during the dismantling of the office, and the water from the bathtub flooded not only the office, but also the neighbors. I will not describe here all the plumbing blunders of the film. It's funny, but the shut-off valves that turn off the water in the risers were also in the office.

In films, they teach, having heard an alarming knock on the door at night, to get rid of drugs and money by flushing them down the toilet. If you do not rule out the possibility that you will need to flush something like this, then install the toilet closer to the riser, my advice to you.
The water in the storage tank is not enough to give the necessary energy and wash away all the "wealth" you have accumulated at a distance of a few meters from the riser, and you will be caught red-handed.

Having understood the toilet installation technology, you can save on plumbing services and do the job as efficiently as possible. The toilet bowl can be mounted in the traditional way or in a more modern way - with installation. In the second case, the drain tank will be hidden in the wall, which will favorably affect the interior of the room.

You are provided with instructions on how to complete each of the listed installation options.

In the case of installing a toilet bowl on the installation, the listed list will expand with the corresponding set. Everything you need is bought at any plumbing store.

Dismantling the old toilet

First step . Shut off the water supply and drain all the liquid.

Second step. We unscrew the hose through which the tank is connected to the water supply.

Third step. We unscrew the fasteners of the tank. If they are rusty, we arm ourselves with a screwdriver or open-end wrench. We press the bolt head with the selected tool and unscrew the nut with an adjustable wrench. If it doesn’t work, pre-soak the nut with kerosene. We remove the tank.

Fourth step. Dismantling the toilet bowl.

Fifth step. Disconnect the toilet drain from the sewer.

In old buildings, plums are usually fixed with cement plaster. To destroy it, use a hammer and a chisel. We need to prick the cement and gently shake the toilet to the sides. The drain should turn and loosen. We tilt the product, allowing the remaining water to drain into the sewer.

Sixth step. We close the sewer hole with a wooden or other suitable plug.

Important! Sewer gases do not have the most pleasant smell. However, they are poisonous and highly flammable. Be sure to keep this in mind as you work.

Getting ready to install

The base for the installation of the toilet must be level. There are several options for the development of events, namely:

• if the floor is tiled and does not have level differences, we do not carry out any preliminary measures to level the base;
• if the floor is tiled and not even, install the toilet with chopsticks. To do this, holes are drilled in the floor, chopsticks are hammered into them according to the level, and after that the toilet bowl is attached to the chopsticks with screws;
• if a tile replacement is planned, we dismantle the old cladding and fill in a new screed, if the old one has level differences;
• if the toilet is installed in a new house or apartment without any finishing, we fill in the screed and lay the tiles.

We pay attention to pipes. Sewer from debris and various deposits, we install a tap on the water supply (if it was absent before) to shut off the water supply to the tank.

How to install a conventional toilet

As a rule, when selling, the toilet bowl and the tank are disconnected. The internal fittings of the barrel are most often already assembled, which greatly simplifies the installation process.

First step. We put the toilet bowl in its place and make marks at the attachment points.

Second step. We remove the toilet bowl and drill mounting holes in the marked places.

Third step. We drive the dowels into the mounting holes.

Fourth step. Installing the bowl. We insert fasteners through special sealing gaskets. Tighten fasteners. You should not pull too hard - you can damage either the fasteners or even the toilet itself. We pull until the sanitary ware is firmly attached to the surface. From above we close the fasteners with plugs.

Fifth step. We mount the cover and seat. The manual for their assembly usually comes with the toilet, so we will not dwell on this event separately.

Sixth step. We connect the toilet to the sewer. The procedure depends on how the toilet outlet is connected.

If the release is done into the wall, we work like this:

If the release to the floor is being arranged, we do the following:

Helpful advice! If the toilet bowl is connected to the drain pipe using a corrugation, sealing can be abandoned in most cases, because. the design of such an adapter hose is itself able to provide a sufficiently tight fit.

Seventh step. We carry out the installation of the tank. Drain mechanisms, as a rule, are sold already assembled. If the mechanism is disassembled, assemble it according to the manufacturer's instructions (the assembly order for different models may vary slightly).

We take the gasket from the kit and install it in the water hole in our toilet. Install the tank on the gasket and tighten the bolts.

Fasteners are most conveniently installed like this:

Eighth step. We connect the tank to the water supply using a flexible hose. We turn on the water supply and check the quality of the system. If it digs somewhere, tighten the nuts a little. The level of filling the tank with water is adjustable by moving the float lower or higher.

We let the tank fill several times and drain the water. If everything is fine, we take the toilet into permanent operation.

Modern installation. A special wall installation is used, in which the mechanism of the tank is hidden. As a result, only the toilet bowl and the drain button remain visible.

We mount a wall-mounted toilet for installation

The first stage is the installation of the frame

We carry out the installation of a metal frame with fasteners. We attach the tank to the frame. The position of the frame is adjustable with brackets at the top and screws at the bottom. Frames are sold separately, have the same structure and are suitable for use in combination with any toilet.

The assembled structure will have a height of about 1.3-1.4 m. The width should exceed the width of the tank.

The second stage - we hang the tank

We perform the installation in compliance with the following recommendations:

• we place the drain button at about a meter distance from the floor;
• between the attachment points we maintain a step equal to the distance between the eyes of our toilet bowl;
• the drain pipe should be located at a height of about 220-230 mm;
• we hang the wall-mounted toilet at a distance of 400-430 mm from the floor. These are average values. In general, focus on the growth of future users;
• between the drain tank and the wall we maintain no more than 15 mm distance.

The third stage - we mount the finished installation

We first check the evenness of the wall with a plumb line. When deviations are found, do the following:

The fourth stage - install the tank

First we connect the tank. The drain may have top and side outlets. Almost all modern models of tanks allow you to choose between these two options.

Important! When installing the toilet on the installation, it is better to refrain from connecting the tank with a flexible hose. will last much longer than a hose. Would you like to destroy the frame skin in the near future for the sake of a five-minute replacement of such a hose? That's it!

For connection, it is best to use plastic pipes. All necessary fasteners usually come with the tank. Separately, you have to buy only a panel for the drain buttons, and even then not always.

We connect the release of our toilet bowl with the sewer. The most convenient way to do this is with a corrugation. We check the tightness of the structure. If everything is fine, turn off the water, temporarily turn off the toilet from the drain and remove the bowl to the side.

Important! The procedure for connecting the cistern to the toilet and plumbing may vary depending on the model of the product. We clarify these points in a separate order and follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Fifth stage - we sheathe the installation

To do this, we use moisture-resistant drywall with a thickness of 10 mm. It is recommended to fix it with a double layer. First we do the following:

• we screw the pins for hanging the toilet into the frame (they are included in the kit);
• close the drain holes with plugs (also from the kit) so that they are not clogged with dust and debris;
• we make holes in drywall for pins, pipes and a drain button.

We fasten the sheathing sheets to the frame with the help of special self-tapping screws. Keep the fastening step at the level of 30-40 cm. The design will be small in size and weight, so there are no strict recommendations regarding the distance between the fasteners.

We tile drywall with tiles or finish it in another way at our discretion.

Helpful advice! Before starting to tile the box with tiles, we install a plug and a cuff in the place of the future location of the drain button. They are usually included in the kit.

Stage six - install the toilet

To do this, we connect the outlet of the bowl to the sewer hole and hang the product on the pins (we installed them in the previous stages of work). You can follow these steps in reverse order, whichever is more convenient for you. Tighten the fixing nuts.

Important! Previously, the tile that will come into contact with must be covered with a layer of silicone sealant (you can install a gasket instead).

You can turn on the water supply and use the toilet for its intended purpose.

The assembly instructions for the installation remain the same. Only the order of installation of the toilet bowl changes. Work in the following order.

First step. Lock your knee firmly. Metal fasteners will help you with this.

Second step. Treat the toilet outlet with technical ointment.

Third step. Install the toilet in the place intended for it. Circle the outline of the sanitary ware and mark the holes for the fasteners.

Fourth step. Remove the toilet and install the mounting brackets from the kit according to the marking.

Fifth step. Install the bowl, press its outlet into the vent pipe and secure the sanitary ware with the bolts or other fasteners included in the kit.

Sixth step. Connect the tank to the drain. Installation and connection of this element is carried out in the same way as in the case of mounting a wall-mounted toilet model.

Seventh step. We bring the drain button into a pre-prepared hole in the casing, turn on the water supply and check the operation of the toilet bowl. If everything is fine, we accept the product for permanent operation.

Good day dear readers!

In my case, the installation of the toilet with my own hands had to be done again, the second time, since it was necessary to lay tiles on the bathroom floor.

Therefore, the toilet bowl had to be dismantled first.

Everything turned out very simply: the sewer corrugated pipe was disconnected, as well as the flexible hose supplying water.

An important point, since the house is far from new, and the sewerage system is actively exploited, it is extremely important to close the sewer hole in order to prevent air from entering the room with carbon dioxide and other toxic gases.

For this purpose, a plastic bag was securely put on the corrugated pipe.

The next step is marking the installation site. For this purpose, the second tile from the wall was chosen on the floor.

This distance allows you to freely carry out work on the dismantling and installation of the water meter on the left side, and also allows you to operate the toilet in the immediate vicinity of the bathtub on the right side and bring communications from the back (connecting a corrugated sewer pipe).

Since the color of the tiles on the floor is not conducive to marking with a pencil or marker,

then for this purpose, red electrical tape was chosen. It adheres well to ceramic tiles and stands out well on the surface.

The toilet was pre-installed in the intended installation location, with adhesive tape glued along the bottom of the cabinet.

White spots were applied on the tape (possibly with glue) to indicate the places corresponding to the location of the holes on the toilet body.

In the presented case, the fixing to the floor of the toilet body is internal, not external.

Toilet installation Cersanit was carried out using the ceramic fixing kit supplied with the toilet bowl.

Here is a diagram of the installation order.

The next step is to drill holes for fixing to the floor.

To this end, the ceramic tile was first drilled with a screwdriver and a ceramic drill bit (diameter 10 mm), and then the hole was deepened in the concrete subfloor using a hammer drill and a concrete drill bit (diameter 10 mm).

The holes in the floor were made in such a way that they were opposite the side holes on the bottom of the toilet body, and also to provide the necessary distance, calculated on the total thickness of the wall of the bottom of the body and plastic fasteners.

Plastic dowels from the kit were placed in the finished holes, and then plastic corners were attached to the floor using self-tapping screws and an open-end wrench.

Now you can install the toilet from above and fix its body with two self-tapping screws using a Phillips screwdriver.

Nuance: the toilet must be installed on the sealant. That is, between the tile and the toilet bowl, around the entire perimeter of the touch of the toilet bowl and the floor tile, it is necessary to apply a sealant using a gun. Thanks to the sealant, water will not flow under the toilet bowl and the toilet bowl will “sit” tightly on the seat.

Thus, the work came to an end. It should be noted that toilet installation do-it-yourself requires some experience with ceramic materials, so as not to damage the tile.

The final stage is the installation of a flexible hose for water supply and a corrugated pipe. Before installing the corrugated pipe on the toilet drain, it is necessary to pre-lubricate the joints with plumbing adhesive-sealant.

The installation of the toilet itself has been successfully completed.

Materials and tools used during installation:

Perforator;

Cersanit set for fixing the toilet to the floor;

Drill for glass and ceramics (d = 10 mm);

Drill for concrete (d = 10 mm);

Screwdriver;

Crosshead screwdriver;

Open-end wrench;

Rubber gloves;

Sealant gun;

Silicone adhesive sealant.

Now on sale there are a large number of various models of toilet bowls. Each of them, depending on the design, requires a certain placement of pipes in the bathroom and the corresponding size of the installation space. Therefore, when choosing, you should pay attention to some plumbing subtleties. For example, the Vista floor-mounted toilet has an oblique (slanted) flush and a single flush. This version of the release is very convenient to use and install. The advantages of the model will be best told by consumers who have installed such a unit at home, as well as photographs.

Model Description

The Vista compact toilet is a versatile floor-standing model with a cistern that attaches to the bowl shelf. Compacts are a classic option that is always in trend. They are the simplest and most convenient to install, further maintain and win in price. The main advantage of the compacts is the ability to replace one part in case of damage, and not the whole toilet bowl.

The package includes:

• bowl;
• tank;
• fittings for draining;
• propylene seat.

Cersanit Vista is a floor-standing toilet, that is, it is attached with special plumbing dowels directly to the floor. This model is very popular among consumers. It is easy to use and very reliable.

Cersanit Vista toilet

The tank joins the bowl almost closely, which makes the device more compact. Flushing in this toilet model is circular or reverse - this is ensured by directing water jets along a certain path through special channels. This type of flush guarantees a very high-quality cleaning of impurities, because the water washes the entire bowl, and not a specific area, as happens in the case of a direct direction.

Advice. When choosing a toilet, be sure to pay attention to the drain, the eyeliner, the design as a whole. This will help you save a lot of money and make your design dreams come true.

The flush in the Cersanit Vista toilet is controlled by a push-button mechanism. This model has one button, that is, a single drain. It is pressed inward, which is considered a more reliable mechanism than with a rising button. Each flush takes about 6 liters of water.

Insignificant noise when water is drawn into the tank is provided by the lower supply - at the time of receipt, the water beats with a fountain, and does not pour from above.

The bowl on the inside of the Vista model is visored, with a slope towards the outlet. In such a bowl, sewage does not linger, but immediately enters the drain and the possibility of splashing water during flushing is excluded.

The design of the outlet is considered the most important parameter when determining the choice of toilet bowl. An outlet is a drain hole that connects to the sewer system. The outlet option in the Vista model is oblique - the pipe is located at an angle of inclination. Thanks to this, the toilet is less likely to become clogged and is connected to any type of drain. The design of Cersanit Vista toilets is quite simple.

Advice. When installing compact toilets, it is better to first put a tank on the bowl, and then connect it to the riser.

What material are Cersanit toilets made of?

In the manufacture of toilet bowls at Cersanit, two types of ceramics are used:

• - Sufficiently durable material, resistant to various influences. It acquires such properties thanks to the latest firing technologies. The average service life of sanitary ware products is thirty years;
• sanitary ware - the cost of this material is slightly higher than faience. It is also durable and impact resistant. The service life of products from it is up to fifty years.

toilet bowl

Finished sanitary wares are additionally covered in layers with a special glaze on top, which protects against damage. The mechanism in the tank, with the help of which the drain occurs, is made of high-quality plastic.

Benefits of the Cersanit Vista toilet

• The durability of the materials from which the product is made.
• Easy to install - it can be connected to any kind of riser.
• Affordable price and excellent quality.
• Simplicity and convenience in operation.
• Manufacturer's warranty - 10 years.
