Suspended toilet with installation: dimensions, material, device, installation

Suspended toilet bowl is a really useful invention. The drain tank is not visible, hoses and connections too. All this reliably hides in the wall. As a result - a solid economy of space, for that he and the hanging toilet. The product itself is attached directly to the wall, or rather, to the installation system. The drain buttons are neatly placed on the wall surface. Let's consider the question in more detail - what is a hanging toilet, where it came from, what it was made of, and, of course, how to install this plumbing construction.

Where and when appeared suspended toilet bowls

Suspended toilet is a rational and fashionable solution in the interior of the toilet room. The use of this plumbing fixture was first launched in the United States at the end of the last century - more than twenty years ago. First they were mounted in public toilets because of the need to install a large number of toilets in a small area. A suspended toilet bowl whose dimensions are smaller than that of traditional models, significantly saves space, cleaning up the room becomes much easier. Soon these obvious advantages were appreciated, and gradually the suspended toilet bowls from public places migrated to apartments and private houses. Not only the toilet, but all the suspended plumbing saves space and looks very nice, improving the look of the toilet room. In this case, the hidden elements (hoses, tank, etc.) will not spoil the look of the most chic interior.

Design of a suspended toilet bowl

The main part of the construction is a steel frame, to which a drain tank and a water outlet with a branch pipe are attached. Several mounting hoses are provided for mounting this structure. Mount the hanging toilet can be not only in the wall, but also in other points in the toilet room. However, the easiest way to mount a hanging toilet bowl is to fix it to the wall. It uses a lighter steel frame, which is much easier to fix. If there is a need to install a hanging toilet at another point, a heavy, sturdy and more cumbersome metal structure is used, which is much more difficult to mount. However, it can also be covered with ceramic tiles.

Draining tanks for hanging toilet bowls are made of high-quality durable plastic, have an insulation layer that protects the product from condensation. Manufacturers produce tanks with a capacity of 3 to 9 liters. This is convenient, especially if the apartment is a counter of cold water consumption.

The tank is attached to the wall, due to which space is freed under the tank itself. The width of the overflow tank of the suspended toilet bowl is approximately 15 cm. As already mentioned above, the tank is completely hidden in the wall, only the buttons for draining water are discharged outwards.

Material of manufacture and dimensions of the suspended toilet bowl

Bowls for hanging toilet bowls are made from traditional materials - porcelain and ceramics. It is time-tested, environmentally friendly and strong materials.

With due care, a plumbing product made of ceramic or porcelain can last for 50 years or more. The bowl of the suspended toilet bowl does not differ significantly from the usual traditional models. The difference is in the method of fixing and mounting the structure.
  In this case, the method of installation depends only on the material of which the wall is made. The dimensions of the bowl of the suspended toilet bowl also do not differ from the dimensions of the floor models.
  The difference is only in height - since the suspended toilet bowl does not have a leg, its height is only 40 cm. In addition, you can always buy a hanging toilet bowl shortened, the size of which is even more modest. As for the shape of the bowl, then the designers were on top - you can pick up the product for every taste, for any interior and thickness of the purse.

Quite often, people at the sight of a toilet hanging directly on the wall raise doubts about its reliability. However, in this regard, you should not worry - the toilet can withstand a load of up to 400 kg.

Maintenance of the structure

It should be noted that the original design of the suspended toilet bowl does not cause any difficulties with its maintenance. The drain valve, in addition to its direct function, provides access to all vital parts and pipes of the product. But, let's pay attention to the fact that, despite all the strength, durability and reliability of modern products, the repair of a suspended toilet seat does not differ in complexity from the repair of classic models.

Instructions for installing a suspended toilet bowl

Installing the hanging toilet bowls with the installation is not much more complicated than the usual model, you just have to do everything in a different way. Let's understand this process.

So, as we already noted above, the entire system is attached to a steel frame, the so-called installation. Installation begins with its installation. The frame is firmly fastened with dowels to the concrete floor and the main wall.

A sewage pipe with a diameter of 110 mm should be installed at the installation site. The water pipe must also be brought in advance. Steel installation is set strictly on the vertical and horizontal with the help of an ordinary simple construction level.

Adjust the installation is quite simple - for this purpose there are retractable rods, and special studs, with which the design is attached to the wall. Thus, it is possible to adjust the height of the bowl placement above the floor, depending on the growth of people living in the house.

The required height of the installation of the suspended toilet bowl can be selected by experience. The standard height of the toilet seat is 40 cm from the floor.

After installing the installation, water is supplied to the drain tank. For the supply of water, experienced plumbers recommend using a non-flexible hose, and a metal pipe. With the pipe, there may be some difficulties with the installation, but it will last much longer. During the pipeline, the valve, which is located in the drain tank, must be closed. At the next stage of work, the output of the suspended toilet bowl is connected to the sewage tap. For the connection, a corrugated hose of the correct diameter is used. To check the ready connection, you need to "bait" the bowl of the suspended toilet bowl on the studs of the frame, and make a control drain. After checking, regardless of its results, the cup will have to be removed - its installation is done last.

After that, the skin of the niche in which the installation is installed is done. For this, a double sheet of moisture-resistant plasterboard is used. It is attached to the installation itself, as well as to the wall profile. In the instructions that are attached to the hanging toilet bowl, a quick-cut pattern of the sheet material must be attached. This template greatly facilitates the marking and cutting of all necessary technological holes in the sheet of drywall.

Next, the surface of the plasterboard is tiled with ceramic tiles. Tiles should not stand out from the general interior of the toilet room. After the tile glue completely seizes, fix the bowl of the toilet bowl, hanging it on two pins, which are wrapped directly into the metal frame of the installation, which is already hidden under the lining and lining.

What is the installation for a hanging toilet

In the kit for the steel frame for fixing the hanging toilet bowl, the marking instruction is attached, since it is very difficult to calculate the location and dimensions of all fixing holes during installation.

The installation for a hanging toilet and bidet is a steel frame with a set of all necessary elements, fastened to the floor and wall. To install the installation of the suspended toilet bowl, special fasteners are used, as well as a flush button. All the details, by the way, are quite expensive, though, for example, the button itself is an unremarkable plastic part with metallic luster.

There are several devices in the kit - some are used in the process of installation, the others are technological plugs. The cover, made of white foam, protects the tank of the suspended toilet bowl from construction debris. Yellow plugs are required for removal from the tank and sewage.

The steel frame itself, together with all the holes, can be moved by adjusting it horizontally and vertically. The flushing tank is protected by a layer of plastic that prevents condensation and also reduces noise when the water flushes. There are also legs that can be adjusted vertically.

Suspended toilet bowls from this manufacturer are most often equipped with a horizontal drain of water - this is the only possible "defect", if one can call it so. In the rest, the products are of high quality and very durable.

Finally, it can be noted that the hanging toilet is not only a beautiful, but also very convenient and practical thing, ideally suited for small bathrooms. When installing such a toilet, you do not have to level the floor in the bathroom, or resort to some other devastating changes in the layout - they are mounted quite easily.
