A new-fashioned solution for the bathroom is a wall-hung toilet with installation. Such a system allows you to install almost any equipment in a limited area.
The ability to install does not depend on the material of walls and floors, and modern design solutions will allow you to choose and install the most suitable plumbing.
Modern toilet models
Among the current models of plumbing and equipment, there are hanging toilets with installation. Sizes, shapes, type of mount, workmanship, color palette and other parameters can be very diverse. Among the most popular are:
- Rimless hanging toilets.
- Touch hanging toilets. The main feature of this design is “artificial intelligence”. The system will automatically start draining when a person moves away from the bowl. More modern designs include air filtration and an automatic cover.
- A review of wall-hung toilets with installation suggests a system with a micro-lift. This design is equipped with a special door closer. The installation of a micro-lift avoids mechanical damage during the free fall of the cover.
- Corner installation. Such a system allows you to install plumbing in the corner of the room. This solution is ideal for small bathrooms.
What to look for when choosing a modern toilet
One design decision is not enough, therefore, it is necessary to determine which installation for a hanging toilet is better by other criteria. The focus should be:
- On the bowl material. Ceramics are considered the most suitable, because scratches appear on glass or metal very quickly, and polymer concrete needs special gentle means.
- The shape of the bowl. Among the many available, you should choose the most secure - without sharp corners.
- Installation Material The most practical is stainless steel. Despite the high cost, this material is reliable and durable.
- The drain system button. A two-button system is more economical - stopping the "excess" water will significantly reduce unnecessary costs.
- Drain system. The two-phase system is recognized as more optimal. Various modes allow you to adjust the filling of the tank (fully or half) at the touch of a button.
- Cost. Before buying, you should choose a model in the ratio of "price / quality". At the same time, one should not forget that some firms are overpricing because of their world name, nothing more.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of such plumbing
Installing a hanging toilet with installation has several advantages:
- systems are quite compact in comparison with conventional ones;
- drain structures are mounted in the wall, therefore, there is a significant saving of space;
- hygiene. Since all components are “hidden” outside the bathroom or the bathroom, the number of bacteria is significantly reduced, and the cleaning process becomes much simpler;
- lack of dampness. In ordinary bathrooms, fungi often develop. This is due to excessive moisture coatings. A hanging toilet allows you to remove this problem. Also increases the service life of flooring;
- modern interior: a hidden sewer system and new-fangled solutions can improve the interior of the room.
Among the shortcomings are:
- difficulty in installing and disassembling equipment;
- difficult access for scheduled inspections and repairs.
Dependence of the choice of installation on the type of bathroom
Depending on the type of bathroom, you can choose the most suitable plumbing. So, for a typical bathroom with a small area, an hanging toilet with installation will be an ideal option. The dimensions of this plumbing will slightly increase the space of the room. The main requirement for installation is a solid base (a plasterboard or wooden partition will not work for such purposes).
If the area of the bathroom allows you to use more space, you can install a block or frame system. The first is a set of a flat tank, drain buttons and fasteners. The toilet itself in this case is mounted both on the wall and on the floor.
The advantage of the latter design is low cost, and the disadvantage is the need for a reliable wall for fastening.
For zoning of the combined bathroom, a floor frame installation is used. The hardened frame takes on all the load, therefore, there is no need to erect a wall.
Some manufacturers offer the buyer a ready-made monoblock wall-hung toilet design with installation. This design does not need to be hidden in the wall, tiled. It is enough to bring the installation to communications.
The main disadvantages are a rather high cost (from 50 thousand rubles) and a limited design.
The design of the toilet and its features
The wall-hung toilet with installation consists of the following elements:
- Rigid steel frame. The latter, in turn, is equipped with rods for height adjustment, as well as studs and strips with threaded connections.
- Tank. It is the most complex structural element. The tank is made of plastic, and is insulated from the outside with a material that prevents the formation of condensate. In the front of the tank there is a hole for connecting the drain button (through it the inspection and replacement of faulty units is also performed). In the upper and end parts there are slots for connecting the tank to the communications. Inside the tank there is a valve for adjusting the water level, shut-off valves, a dosed water discharge mechanism.
- Bowls of the toilet.
In addition to the above components, the delivery set includes shock-absorbing gaskets, fasteners, etc.
Wall-mounted rimless toilet with installation
Such models are quite popular, because they are considered more hygienic. A high level of hygiene is achieved due to the lack of an inner rim. The given model is very simple for cleaning, and the absence of a rim can significantly reduce the accumulation of various bacteria and other harmful microorganisms.
Features in installation installation
In order to perfectly fit the wall-mounted toilet bowl with the installation into the bathroom, you should correctly calculate the dimensions and choose the material of construction.
When installing, the position of the frame, tank, supply of sewer pipes must be taken into account.
Installation consists of several stages:
- First, the most suitable place is prepared.
- Next, the installation kit with the toilet is installed.
- After this, the remains of communication systems (water inlet and outlet) should be carefully hidden.
- The final stage is clearance.
Important! Installation should be done before the start of finishing work. The installation case is mounted on vertical and horizontal rails.
For DIY installation you will need:
- pencil or marker (for marking);
- level;
- measuring tape;
- hammer drill.
Important! If the walls and floors of the house are reinforced concrete, special drills should be purchased before the operation.
What to look for during installation
Before you choose a hanging toilet with installation, you should familiarize yourself with some of the nuances in the installation. Installation and installation of the toilet has a number of features. So, you should pay attention to:
- On the solid mounting of the frame to the working surface. For this, special studs are usually used. The use of studs allows you to reliably fix the plumbing, without damaging the tile or wall.
- Before installation, threaded holes are made. Only then mount the studs. Otherwise, you may not find holes and spoil the finish.
- Drywall is used for the finish, which is necessarily moisture resistant. Such material is ideal for laying tiles or painting.
The hanging toilet is attached to the installation using protruding fasteners. To improve sealing and increase the reliability of the design, all fasteners should be drowned out with rubber gaskets.
There is the possibility of installing a multidisciplinary system. In this case, additional placement of the washbasin or bidet is possible.
Do-it-yourself hanging toilet installation
Installation of the structure begins before the beginning of the facing work and consists of the following stages:
- A drain pipe (sewer) is supplied to the installation site, the diameter of which is on average 110 mm. Next, a water pipe is supplied. The toilet should be located as close to the riser as possible.
- Next, the frame is mounted.
- After installing the frame, adjust the height of the bowl. The most optimal installation is considered at a height of 42 to 49 cm from the floor cladding.
- At the end of the installation of the frame, water is supplied to the tank. Important! Only a pipe (preferably plastic) is used for supply, but not corrugated. During installation, the tank valve is shut off.
- After the water supply, a discharge pipe is connected. For such purposes, you can use the corrugated pipe.
- At the end, all joints are sealed and the system is checked for leaks. To do this, open the tank valve and drain the toilet. If there are no leaks, you can proceed to the plating process.
- Before facing the tiles, a stopper is installed in the front opening of the tank - a plastic cuff and a safety cover. The lid is necessary to protect against ingress of dust and other foreign objects into the tank.
- A wall-hung toilet with installation is easy to install. When mounting the bowl, the main point is the accurate measurement of the connecting pipes.
During finishing, attention should be paid only to the sheathing of all bends. If the system is installed correctly, you can safely wallpaper the wall. Despite safety, experts nevertheless recommend laying tiles in the bathrooms or painting walls.
