The problem of installing a new toilet bowl is unforeseen and always takes off unexpectedly. Therefore, it is necessary to urgently decide the question: "What toilet bowl to choose" and how to install it yourself.
Any household sanitary and technical device (just such a definition in a familiar toilet bowl) eventually loses its original qualities and appearance. The installation of a toilet bowl by your own hands is quite common. When choosing a new toilet, it is first necessary to determine what type of construction to choose.
Types of toilet construction
Toilet bowls are manufactured by manufacturers in floor and suspended (wall) versions. The usual and most common floor toilet bowl-compact consists of a bowl, a drain tank and a toilet seat. Floor-standing toilets are:
• WC with canister
• Stand-alone
• with full abutment to the wall (attachable)
• Turkish (bowls of Genoa).
The construction of the sanitary and technical device in the direction of output is divided into groups: with a "horizontal" type of output and with a "vertical" type.
Widespread distribution of toilet bowls with a "horizontal" release. The outlet (outlet) of this type is located in the back of the bowl. The branch pipe protrudes from the housing, the outlet axis is parallel to the floor plane or at a slight angle. Toilet bowls with a "horizontal" outlet are installed at the wall at a right angle. In this case. The outlet pipe is connected with a special cuff with a sewer pipe. To a floor such designs are fastened by means of dowels or anchors through special apertures.
Toilet bowls with a "vertical" outlet are equipped with a hidden outlet nozzle in the bowl of the toilet bowl. The device can be installed in this case at any angle to the wall. To fix the toilet in the floor, a screw flange with a lock is installed.
Next, the toilet is mounted by attaching and installing on the flange before fixing. The convenient design of the screw flange connection allows for the dismantling and installation of the toilet bowl in half an hour. The place of connection of the toilet bowl with the "vertical" outlet after its final installation is practically invisible, therefore the sanitary and technical device installed looks aesthetically pleasing.
How to choose the right place for the toilet
Before starting the installation of the sanitary fixture, it is necessary to choose a place for installation and naturally the dimensions of the structure. In order to find out what sizes of the toilet bowl are suitable for the toilet, it is necessary to make a control measurement of the distance from the sewage drain to the doors. According to building codes and regulations, the size of the toilet bowl must be less than this distance 2 times. Choosing a place for the toilet, you need to think through and properly organize the supply of water to the tank. The simplest form and design of bringing the water to the tank is the side inlet. This design of the lateral water supply is selected from the location of the water pipes. A more reliable design of the water supply to the tank is the lower lead. In this case, water comes from below, so the level of noise of the water set will be lower. Choosing a convenient and correct place for the toilet, and buying the design you like, it's time to start installation.
Previously, before dismantling the old toilet bowl and then installing a new one with your own hands, it is necessary to close the water and drain it from the drain tank. The old toilet is dismantled with a crowbar. The sizes of a sewer pipe are checked, if necessary the edge is processed by a file.
Installing the toilet bowl
Installation of the toilet bowl is carried out in the following sequence:
• preparation and marking of the foundation
• installation and fastening of the toilet bowl
• the joint is sealed
• connection of the toilet bowl to the sewage
• the fitting and fixing of the waste tank
• the seat is installed.
The toilet is placed on a level surface without slopes and slopes. If necessary, irregularities are eliminated with the use of dry construction mixtures. Layout of the base must be done by placing the compact toilet seat on the intended location. At this stage, you can adjust the location and symmetry of the walls, the convenience of connecting the outlet branch pipe and the drain tank. Marking places are fixed. In the areas marked on the basis of the holes, the holes corresponding to the diameter of the dowel are drilled, which is necessarily included in the delivery. Then the toilet is installed and fixed to the places of marking. The ideal case of installing a toilet bowl is the absence of water under the base. The sealing of the joint of the base is made by sealing with silicone sealant around the joint perimeter. The connection of the outlet pipe of the toilet bowl to the sewage drain is made by means of a corrugated pipe.
Gofra in its unfolded form is easily fixed both from the side of the sewage drainage and from the outlet branch pipe. Therefore, corrugation is a universal means of fastening for toilet bowls of any type, allowing to minimize the connection zone. Mounting the valves of the drums is performed according to the manufacturer's instructions. Armature, as a rule, is supplied assembled.
To improve the durability of the valve and its reliability it is recommended to install an additional filter in the water supply network. Due to the presence of undesirable impurities, the deterioration of the exhaust valve occurs over time. There may be a precipitation on the valve parts. The final step is to install the seat and fix it to the toilet.

Installation of a hanging toilet bowl
Half a century has passed since the first suspended plumbing. At first, the suspended plumbing and new models of the toilet bowls caused a dull irritation and, if not more, quiet envy. Elegant shapes and compactness of sizes, lack of handles, communications and stunning performance caused the only thought: "Is it not necessary to install a hanging toilet in your toilet?". Indeed, the obvious advantage of a suspended toilet bowl is its compactness and European design.
And the installation of this type of "device" is a pleasure. The basis for installing a suspended toilet is a rigid steel frame with a built-in reservoir. Frame construction is able to withstand weight up to 400 kg. Installation is carried out by fastening bolts or anchors to the wall, while the toilet bowl itself is attached to the bar on the frame of the structure. All openings before the installation start are covered with overlays, which are kindly offered in the delivery set. Measures are made for the future location of the toilet.
For your reference: 1 meter height marking suggested by the manufacturer should ideally match your pencil mark on the wall. Quickly assembled design of the hanging toilet is leveled with the level horizontally, and fastening bolts are tightened, with which you can adjust the height. By the way, the bolts are at the bottom of the frame, near the button system of draining the water.
Fabulously beautiful installation of hanging toilet bowls with their own hands is presented in the video.
