Most experts believe that the installation of a toilet in a private house should begin with the full range of finishing work in the toilet or bathroom. After that, you can begin to install plumbing. Further in the article we will consider in more detail how to install a toilet bowl on a tile. You can completely do it yourself.
General information
Depending on the model of the product, the technology is determined by which the toilet will be installed on the tile. Currently, these plumbing fixtures are being produced with both external and internal connections. For this reason, the installation of the toilet (the price that specialists usually offer will be given below) depends on the particular case. But first things first.
Estimated cost of work
Installation of the toilet, the price of which depends on the type of model, can be carried out by the employees of the store in which the product is purchased. Usually installation does not take much time.
- Installation of a floor toilet - 1,500 rubles.
- Installation of an imported model (the cost of which exceeds 15 thousand rubles.) - 1700 rubles.
- Installation of an attached toilet - 1,500 rubles.
- Installation of a suspended model - 1700 rubles.
Necessary tools
Before you install the toilet on the tile, you should prepare everything you need. For installation you will need:
- Fan pipe or corrugation.
- Silicone sealant.
- FUM sealing tape (for threading).
- Drills on concrete and glass.
- Ball valve for a pipe that will supply water.
- Flexible hose.
To work, you will need the following tools:
- Pencil.
- Hammer.
- Drill or hammer drill.
- Kern.
- Adjustable wrench.
- Rubber spatula.
Drain Compatibility
In this case, the main factor is the type of wastewater discharge provided in the house. The choice of the toilet depends on this, as well as the way it is connected to the sewer. There are several types of water discharge.
1. Vertical. This type of descent is considered obsolete. In accordance with the design, the sewer pipe goes into the floor vertically. This type is found in old houses, especially in stalinkas. In modern construction, it is not popular. However, this method helps to significantly save space in the toilet if necessary. Thanks to him, the installation of the toilet "compact", for example, can be carried out directly on the pipe.
2. Horizontal. It is currently the most popular method of laying sewage. The connection itself is carried out to the connecting bracket. It is located horizontally.
3. Oblique release. It is suitable for all types of sewers.
Features of installation of some models
Hanging toilets today are not as popular as, for example, traditional floor. The fact is that the former are quite expensive compared to the latter. When installing the suspension structure, it is necessary that the distance from the floor surface to the seat is observed. The optimum height for installing the toilet is about 40 centimeters. In this case, the product will be convenient to use. The installation of the toilet on the tile is carried out using eccentric cuffs, fan, corrugated or plastic pipes. Next, we consider these elements in more detail.
Fan pipes
This method of connection is considered the most beneficial from the point of view of aesthetics. The pipes and toilet bowl visually turn into a single design that fits perfectly into the interior of the bathroom.
Eccentric cuffs
With the help of them, the toilet can be connected even to the most inaccessible places. The same can be said for corrugated pipes. The peculiarity of eccentric jumpers is that they rotate around their own axis. Thus, inaccuracies in connection are smoothed out.
Plastic pipes
They are distinguished by ease of installation and practicality. For this reason, many experts opt for them. Currently, there are a huge number of types of plastics. This industry continues to develop rapidly. So you can safely choose plastic pipes as the most technologically advanced.
Features of external mounting
Installing the toilet on the tile is carried out using bolts. It is necessary to put the product in place for installation. On the tile with a pencil, appropriate marks are made. Next, you need to remove the toilet to the side. Drill holes in previously marked locations. Dowels will be placed there. First of all, you need to use a drill on tile and only then on concrete. It is required to clear openings of dust. After that they should be filled with silicone. The latter is used as a waterproofing. Then dowels should be inserted into the holes. After that, the toilet is installed on the tile at the appointed place. However, the silicone sealant must be pre-applied along the circuit . Thanks to it, moisture will not fall under the base of the product. The bushings must be inserted into the mounting holes. They are twisted with screws. It is also necessary to fix the plugs. Most often, excess silicone comes out from under the base of the toilet. They should be removed with a rubber spatula.
The nuances of internal mounting
Before you install the toilet on the tile, you need to pay attention in advance to the outlet to the water supply and sewage systems. Also, this should correspond to the pre-prepared plan for the repair of the apartment. Outlets are fitted to a specific toilet model. This plumbing equipment can be connected in several ways.
Working process
As mentioned above, fastening is carried out by means of bolts. In the process of working with ceramic tiles, the drill can slip off. To prevent this from happening, small chips are needed in the drilling sites using a core. Four holes are required in the floor tile. A depth equal to the length of the dowels must be achieved. Then you need a hammer. With it, dowels are driven into drilled holes. Using a hammer, be careful not to damage the lining. Do not tighten bolts immediately. Perhaps further adjustment will be required.
Features of the installation of corrugations
It has a large number of internal membranes. The corrugation is mounted in the technological hole on the one hand, and on the other, on the toilet outlet pipe. Thanks to her, the distance to the wall is easily adjustable. In addition, setting the desired connection angle is easy.
Features of connecting to the pipe
An external water supply system is present in many toilet models. However, there are products that are equipped with a hidden configuration. Each connection must be airtight and leak free. The clamping nut is put on the copper tube in the reverse order. Carving a pipe exiting the wall requires attention. It can be both external and internal. In the latter case, an adapter is required. For sealing, it is recommended to use the FUM tape.
Important information
First, the corrugated pipe is mounted in the sewer hole. It is in the floor or in the wall. In this case, glue is not recommended. Through the adapter, the copper tube joins the cold water. The toilet is attached after all connections are made. External bolts are tightened first. Then the installation of the toilet is verified completely. After that, the bolts on the fasteners are tightened.
Mounting the drain tank and cover
They begin installation last. A tank and a cover are usually included. However, some manufacturers provide the choice of the latter part directly to users. In this case, the cover will need to be purchased separately. It is necessary to tighten the fixing bolts on the underside. To do this, you need a metal nut of large diameter. Then you can begin to install the drain tank cap. You also need to fix the drain button. Metal parts must not come into contact with ceramics. For this, plastic or rubber gaskets are used. Then you need to check how the toilet works. During the inspection of all compounds, possible leaks are identified.
Final points
The easiest way to install a toilet is through bolting. Accurate screw mounting reduces the risk of defects due to exposure to water. You can invite a specialist to install the toilet. However, you can save money by installing it yourself. In general, the work is not accompanied by difficulties.
