Until recently, suspended plumbing caused genuine surprise and desire to look under it. But progress does not stand still and today suspended toilets can be seen not only in the bathrooms of private possessions, but also in public places. The main advantages of the suspended structure: compactness, tearing of communication networks and ease of cleaning, which is absent in cases where the classic toilet fastening to the floor occurs. In specialized stores, you can find suspended toilets of various colors, sizes and shapes: round, oval, rectangular. But, choosing the subject of first necessity, it is important to pay attention not only to its appearance, but also to the quality of the product. Each trifle is important, even such as the fastening of the toilet cover. The products of German and Italian manufacturers are considered impeccable in the issue of quality.
A set of a suspended toilet includes:
• hard steel frame equipped with a height regulation device;
• plastic drain barrel, isolated by styropol, preventing the formation of condensate;
• toilet bowl;
• A set that includes all the necessary toilet mounts.
It is not much more difficult to mount a suspended toilet bowl with your own hands than installing ordinary plumbing. All functional elements (barrel, fastening of the tank to the toilet, draining) are installed in a niche or to the wall, and then hidden by a decorative panel.
Installing a suspended toilet bowl with your own hands
First of all, it is necessary to take care of communications: a water pipe and a sewer pipe with a diameter of 110mm should be brought to the place of installation of plumbing. Next, it is necessary to fix the steel frame – it is attached with dowels to the capital wall and concrete floor, while the control of verticals and horizons is necessarily checked by the level. As a rule, a suspended toilet is installed so that the seat is at an altitude of 40 cm.
The next step is to bring water to the barrel, it is advisable not to use flexible hoses for this, but to take pipes of good quality and a long service life. Next, it is necessary to combine the release of the toilet with sewer tap using corrugation. To verify the operability of the drain, you need to do not fully twist the toilet mount, install the bowl on the frame, and after the control drain, remove it – the capital installation is carried out in the last turn.
The place of installation of the frame is decorated with a double waterproof gypsum cardboard, it is attached to a metal profile and installation. Typically, in the kit with the toilet, there is a template, along which you can quickly cut the front preparation of drywall and cut out all the necessary holes. The final wall decoration is carried out in accordance with the design of the room (tiles, plastic panels, coloring). After the finishing of the finish is completely dried, the bowl is hung on special studs and finally completes the toilet fastening.
By the way, the design of a suspended toilet can withstand up to 400 kg of weight, so full people should not refuse the modern design of their bathroom.
