Installation of suspended toilet bowls is now gaining popularity. Because of the abundance of high-quality materials, such an attachment option is becoming more accessible. Among other advantages, this option is also hygienic, as there are no problems with washing the floors. On the web, it is often found that the suspension structure is unreliable. This is fundamentally wrong, since the frame of quality steel, which is used for installation, is very durable, and can easily withstand a weight of about 800 kilograms. The toilet, attached without installation, can withstand 400 kilograms - more than enough.
About the intricacies of installing this plumbing fixture, and how the installation is done, we'll talk about this article.

Installing the installation for the hanging toilet
choose the place to install
Suspended toilet bowl is installed, as a rule, based on the personal wishes of the owner of the dwelling (if the work is done by hired workers). In the case where you are going to install the hanging toilet yourself, it is better not to complicate anything, and install it, for reasons of convenience, at the point of connection, near the water and sewage outlets. In order not to install additional points for disposal of sewage waste, a set of a hanging toilet bowl with installation should be made in the place where the old toilet bowl was.
To install it you need the following tools:
- Perforator, a set of drills of the desired diameter for concrete
- Pencil
- Level
- Roulette for 3-5 meters
- Conical and carob keys of the necessary sizes.
Layout on the floor and walls is done in advance. First of all, on the wall there is a line along which the central axis of the structure should resemble, and a mark that denotes the distance from the steel frame to the wall. The distance depends on the method of connection of the sewer pipe and should not be less than 13 millimeters. Further note the place where the flush tank will be located (usually the tank is installed at a height of 1 meter from the floor). Immediately place the places under the holes for the fasteners of the installation. All these moments are necessarily provided in the installation scheme.
Then the perforator makes holes in which dowels are inserted. Regardless of the type of installation system, the structure is fixed horizontally and vertically. In the holes with dowels install anchors, which fixes the vertical part of the installation. When installing them, it is necessary to follow the installation sequence so that in the future there are no difficulties with adjusting the structure vertically.
The next stage is the installation of the body of the toilet installation itself and its fastening with screws and adjusting nuts.
The most crucial moment at this stage of work is to set the frame of the steel frame horizontally and vertically. Do this at the same time, so do not hurry, and work carefully. On the horizon, the frame is exposed, gradually loosening the well construction of the legs of the installation, exposing them at the correct height and fixing. The vertical level is set using anchors, after which the frame is fixed with special plugs.
Once the installation case is installed, all the necessary communications are connected and attached. In the installation casing for the sewer pipe and pipe from the drain tank, special fixing plastic clamps must be provided.
At the last stage of the work, all details are checked for the quality of fastening and strength, as well as the conformity of the design to the dimensions of the suspended toilet bowl, the level along the horizon and the vertical.
Constant quality control of the work performed is a prerequisite for eliminating possible problems and complications that may arise during the installation of the suspended toilet bowl or in the process of its operation.
How to install the toilet with the installation
Before you start, first you need to turn off the water supply, otherwise a powerful fountain and a close acquaintance with neighbors from the bottom are provided to you.
The steel installation is fixed to the floor and wall (as described above). If the toilet is planned to be installed near a light wall or partition, you need to check that in addition to the frame there are additional paws that evenly distribute the entire load that falls on the wall. Often it is not included in the kit, and paws have to be bought separately.
Pay attention - the block installation systems are not attached to the floor, and can be used to install the toilet only on a solid wall.
They are bolted with anchors to the wall, which will have to withstand heavy loads. The strength of fastening the toilet on the wall directly depends on how good and, as they say, "on conscience" was installed installation for the toilet. If the supporting structure was fixed somehow, then the cup will eventually begin to loosen, the integrity of the wall and the decorative finishing layer may deteriorate, which can lead to a complete renovation of the bathroom.
How to fasten each particular model of a hanging toilet bowl is always indicated in the attached instructions, this is your main guide.
Always pay attention to how the pawls of the fixtures are located, so as not to confuse anything. If the installation is attached to a partition, this is very important, because the feet that have been fixed incorrectly distribute the load unevenly, and soon the partition will begin to deform.
The frame should be adjusted to the height of the toilet seat - the vast majority of frame installations allow you to do so without problems. Finishing works are performed only after the installation is fully installed. Suspended toilet is fixed completely wall with the help of pins.
It may seem that the installation of suspended plumbing should not cause any difficulties. But in the process of work there can be problems, which can be solved only by a qualified specialist with experience and able to guarantee the quality.
hanging toilet: features and differences
Suspended toilet has enough advantages over other models:
• Toilet with a hanging toilet is much easier to clean. It is very uncomfortable to wash the floor around and behind the usual toilet bowl. With a hanging toilet, this problem simply does not arise.
• Do not cut the ceramic tile around the toilet when laying - the floor keeps a uniform pattern, the warm floor is also much easier to make.
• With the installation of a suspended toilet bowl, you can hide all communications, pipes and valves, and the interior of the bathroom does not deteriorate.
• Due to the fact that the installation for a hanging toilet, whose dimensions are very modest, can fit even in a small room, you can realize almost any design intent in the bathroom and effectively use the entire area of the room.
installation of the toilet bowl hanging
For the installation of suspended sanitary ware, a special metal frame (installation) with a drain tank is required. Often it is sold separately from the toilet. Although the hanging toilet bowl is relatively easy to install, it is best to assign this work to professionals.
In short, the installation system for suspended sanitary ware is a frame or block construction that is attached to the wall and floor. To the finished structure all the suspension elements are brought. This method of editing allows you to hide all communications.
The drain tank of the suspended toilet bowl has a number of differences - such tanks are made of ceramic, and plastic. The depth of the tank is only 9 centimeters, the width is different.
At the initial stage of the work, the frame is exposed along the horizon and vertical, and the studs are screwed in to install the sanitary ware.
Important point: all the studs for installing the toilet are screwed to the finish of the walls. Otherwise, you have to drill holes blindly, trying to get into the hole in the frame.
After installation, the frame is closed with a finishing material, which is applied to the surface of the finish coat - ceramic tiles, paint, plaster, etc.
In this case, the studs remain outside the wall. All attachments are fixed through the wall to the installation with the help of studs screwed into a steel frame. To ensure that the finished and already maintained structure does not make noise, rubber washers are placed between the wall and the installation on the studs or soundproof material is applied, after which the sound can not spread over rigid metal structures .
You can combine several installations - for a washstand, bidet, toilet bowl - in one system. Special profiles are used for this.
A few important moments of installation of the suspended toilet bowl
The upper part of the toilet should be 40-43 centimeters from the floor.
There are two types of dimensions for the distance between the holes for fixing the hanging toilet bowls: 180 and 230 centimeters.
In order to connect all the installation systems to the sewer pipe, they are equipped with special nozzles for the pipe - 90 or 110 mm, as well as a coupling adapter for connection to the plumbing fixture.
The installation uses a 90 mm pipe. This diameter makes it possible to obtain a small bending angle.
The flush button is mounted in the center of the top or front panel on the toilet bowl.
If there is a breakdown, you can remove the flush key, and polzsit thus full access to the internal fitting of the drain tank. Attention: the flush key, as a rule, is not included in the kit, and it often has to be purchased separately.
In the event that the float mechanism breaks, in order to prevent leakage and flooding of the room, the designers have provided a special drainage hole in the reservoir with a diameter of 3 centimeters. Through the hole, excess water flows freely into the toilet.
Almost all modern waste tanks have the function of saving water. It can be implemented in the following ways: a flush key consisting of two buttons: (smaller button - saving water - large - full flushing) or Push | Stop system, which can itself adjust the drain time and the amount of water (if you press the button again, The drain will stop, if not press, all water will pour out).
To finish the walls turned out high-quality, you need to properly install the installation regarding the seams of the finishing material (ceramic tiles). The button of the drain tank is taken out either in the center of the tile, or in the center of the seam between the tiles (otherwise it will turn out ugly). Therefore, the installation must be mounted on a strict calculation, observing the allowance of 2 mm. The ceramic tile is started from the water draining button.
If the system uses a mechanical drain button, the toast, which closes the structure should not be thicker than 7 centimeters. Many people have a toilet, as if loosely hanging on the wall, can cause some distrust regarding the strength of the structure. This is fundamentally wrong, since even the weakest, modular construction of the installation is able to withstand a weight of at least 400 kg.
We hope that after reading the above material, you will have an idea of how to install a hanging toilet with installation. But since all the nuances of such work can not be stated within the framework of one article, before the beginning of work at least consult with a professional plumber.
