The usual toilet bowls now have serious competition in the form of universal hinged models, which are often preferred in the most ordinary apartments. Of course, the installation of such equipment is somewhat more complicated, but with the help of our recommendations you will successfully understand both the instruction of the device and the technology of its correct installation.

Suspended toilet in the interior of the bathroom
If you follow modern trends and keep track of the latest developments in the field of sanitary equipment, then from your field of vision such a universal device for sanitation facilities as a toilet bowl of a hanging type will not go away. Possessing visual aesthetics, convenience and hygiene, hanging equipment perfectly fits into the interior of any, including a small bathroom, while expanding its free space. After the installation of such a device, the cleaning process will consist only of washing the floor, excluding unpleasant cleaning of the legs and the tank of the device.
If you decided to make an independent installation, bypassing the professional help, then you need to familiarize yourself with the design features of the hinged toilet bowl and the recommendations for its installation.
Design Features
The basic element of the construction is a rigid frame made of steel, equipped with a mechanism for adjusting the height. Fastening of the frame is made to the surface of a concrete or brick wall, but the false wall of plasterboard is better not to be used for fastening - the risk of destruction under the weight of the structure is too great. The bowl of a toilet bowl of a suspension type fastens on a frame by means of system of pins.
To prevent the appearance of condensation and the insulation of the plastic tank, a styrofoam is used. The tank itself is placed on the frame, on the front wall of which you can find a special cutout for mounting the descent device in the form of a button. If it is necessary to carry out an emergency repair or maintenance during operation, this hole will provide access to the necessary mechanisms or assemblies. Modernized models of sanitary equipment by means of two buttons suggest the possibility of dispensing the volume of water for drainage: pressing one will ensure the discharge of three liters of water, and the second - six liters. The toilet bowl capacity is the visible detail of the entire structure after the installation is completed.
We also need the fasteners and the working tool for the installation, as well as the packing material, which protects the structural parts from damage during transportation.
Advantages of pendant toilet bowls
The unique design of the suspended toilet bowl has several advantages:
- the room in which such equipment is installed is much easier to clean, because it is around the toilet that there are problem areas for cleaning. In the case of installing such a device, the problem is solved automatically;
- the surface of the floor with tiles tiles retains the uniformity of the pattern, suitable for equipping the cable system "warm floor";
- installation of the device allows you to hide the valves and pipes, the appearance of which improbably spoils the impression of the interior of the room;
- a compact and mobile installation system allows you to realize any design intent, regardless of the layout of the bathroom and more rationally use every millimeter of usable area;
- modern hanging designs in addition to its direct functional purpose, make the interior more perfect and original;
6. The suspension structure attracts exceptional reliability and convenient geometry: the weight it can withstand exceeds 400 kg, so it is suitable for miniature and obese people.
Materials for installation
To implement a high-quality installation of a hanging toilet, you need to arm the following details:
- a polyethylene tap for the drain device;
- hairpins;
- with Teflon tape;
- a flexible hose equipped with a corner valve for connecting the water pipe to the tank.
Since different factories - manufacturers differently man the hanging toilet, it is better to buy it first, and then to bribe the necessary components.
Installation of a hanging toilet bowl
Installation work begins with the fastening of the rigid frame: the installation to the capital or concrete wall is performed on the dowels. In this case, it is necessary to take care of the installation of a sewer and water pipe, the diameter of which should not exceed 110 mm. Installation is set as precisely as possible with respect to both the horizontal and vertical planes. The construction level will help you in this.
The regulation process is quite easy, because the frame construction is equipped with retractable rods and studs to fix the frame to the wall surface. Here you can "play" with the height of the capacity (bowl) depending on the growth of users. The hinged toilet bowl with microlift is fixed in such a way that the distance between the floor and the seat is varied within 40 cm.
Then it is recommended to bring water to the drain tank using a strong and reliable pipe with a long service life. In this case, the valve placed on the tank must be closed.
At the next stage, you have to attach the outlet of the suspension structure to the sewer by means of the corrugation. To ensure the correct functioning of the connection, it is enough to "bait" the bowl on the finished steel frame and drain the water. After checking, the bowl is removed, since it is being installed at the very last stage.
Then the frame fastening zone is sealed with waterproof gypsum board, which is fixed to the wall profile and installation. Often, a set of hinged toilet bowl includes a template for cutting the "face" of the skin, which makes it much easier to make any technological holes in the plasterboard.
Now is the time to do wall tiling with ceramic tiles, the color of which will be combined with the color and design solution of the bathroom.
And, finally, after drying the adhesive composition, the bowl is carefully hung on the studs. Their twisting is made in the metal frame of the hanging system, located under the tile.
