What is a hanging toilet?

Hanging plumbing has a more complex structure than the usual monolith or compact. Let's consider its device in more detail.

Bearing part

This is a metal frame. The bearing part is also known as installation, since it is the toilet that is installed on it. The main requirement for installation is strength, since the whole load falls on the frame.

Important! It is desirable that the system be equipped with a system for regulating the height of the bowl, since the growth of people can be different.

Tank

It is made of plastic. Its shape is such that it is possible to place it inside the installation. The front part is equipped with a button connected to the trigger. The button provides access to the drain system for prevention and repair. Therefore, when choosing, pay attention to products with a large button.

Important! Two-button modifications are convenient, allowing you to economically consume water.

Bowl

It can be of different shapes and colors. Naturally, choose a design so that the toilet does not look like something alien in the toilet. The most common manufacturing materials are porcelain and earthenware. Porcelain is much more expensive, but faience is significantly inferior in terms of performance.

Mount

All fasteners must be included. The types and number of mounting nodes must be specified in the accompanying documentation. If fasteners of doubtful strength, buy products of a similar configuration, but of better quality.

Important! In addition to the above items, you will need a branch for connecting to the sewer and a supply for supplying water to the tank.

Benefits

Despite the high cost of equipment, the cost and complexity of installation, a system with installation has several advantages:

• Beautiful and custom design. The bowl soars above the surface of the floor.
• Small size, which makes it possible to place the device in both a large and a small bathroom.
• Simplification of cleaning due to the fact that there is no leg.
• Universality of the design, the ability to select individual elements according to their taste preferences and financial capabilities.
• Reliability and quality factor. The tank crashes infrequently, and the button can be replaced absolutely easily.
• The ability to withstand a significant load. Most of the structures are designed for a weight of about 400 kg. The fact that the suspended plumbing is designed only for small people, already a long debunked myth.
• When the floor is separated by ceramic tiles, there is no need to cut the tiles. The tile pattern will retain attractive uniformity.

Recently, products have appeared on sale at a relatively low price, so there is hope that soon it will be possible to freely buy a budget and high-quality suspension structure.

How to install a hinged toilet with installation?

All work can be divided into separate stages.

Markup:

1. Attach the frame to the wall surface and set it evenly with a level.
2. After making sure that the frame is correctly positioned, mark with a marker on the floor and wall the places where the holes for the fasteners will be drilled.

Important! You can use a regular meter for marking. Do not forget to consider the distance of the metal structure from the wall.

Frame mounting:

1. At the end of the marking, drill holes for fasteners with a puncher. The depth of the holes and their diameter are chosen so that they correspond to the fixtures.
2. Insert plastic dowels into the holes.
3. Mount the frame in place with special screws.

Tank installation

This is the next stage after installation. The supply of the tank to the water supply system can be lower or lateral. It depends on your modification of the tank.

Sewer system

First of all, determine the height of the toilet. The average installation height is 400-430 mm, however, it is necessary to focus on the wishes of the owners and the growth of family members.

Important! To connect the toilet to the sewer system, use pipes no more than 110 mm in diameter.

System test

Testing the mounted structure for operability is an important point until the wall is covered with drywall. Connect all systems, fill the tank and perform a test flush. Make sure that there are not the slightest leaks. The installation of the wall mounted toilet is complete.

Finishing touches

The last stage is decorating the wall where the suspended structure is located. To do this, apply moisture-proof drywall, which is fixed to special profiles. Sew the wall in an even layer, then smooth it with putty.
