Installation for the toilet - what is it and what are they?

Those who would like to avoid problems during installation of attachments need to choose the installation most carefully. This is a complex device with many features. The huge assortment is another problem. The models differ greatly in characteristics and installation method.

Equipment

Before purchasing, you need to check the package contents. The kit should include a supporting frame, controls and fasteners, as well as an adapter and a drain tank. We must not forget about the elements of sound insulation.

If there is something missing in the package, then you will have to go to the store and look for the missing part. This can cause problems, because if you have a rare model of installation, it will be difficult to find spare parts for it. Therefore, check the package after opening the installation box.

The technical content of the installation is located in the wall, and only the controls will be on the outer surface. If you remove them, you can gain access to all installation systems. This is convenient for repairs.

Four misconceptions about installing toilets

Before purchasing a wall-hung toilet and installation for it, you may come across negative statements that are not true.

If even the slightest breakdown occurs, you will have to dismantle the false wall and completely change the system. In fact, for repairs, you can get to the structure through the drain button or additional windows under the panel.
If any element of the system fails, it will be difficult to buy it. In fact, there is practically no problem with purchasing spare parts, since they are sold in almost any plumbing store, especially for popular models. If you are worried about this, before purchasing a toilet, ask the seller about the availability of certain spare parts.
The toilet cannot support the heavy weight and may collapse. In fact, all hanging products are designed for enormous pressure from 200 to 400 kg. The powerful frame, which is attached to the wall with massive bolts, can withstand a very heavy load. If you are not sure, choose the most durable and massive model that can withstand up to 800 kg.
The installation system takes up a lot of space due to the additional false wall. In fact, such an installation only saves space, since the depth of the frame is limited to only 10–30 cm. Plus, the toilet is located close to the wall, which a classic one is incapable of. Think about how much space a regular toilet with a bulky tank and drainage system would take up.

Toilets equipped with the installation look modern and technically correspond to our times. Pay attention to all the nuances and tips when choosing an installation, and then you will make the right choice, and the wall-hung toilet will serve you for a long time.

Application area

Installations are used in apartment buildings, cottages, country houses, offices, shopping centers. They can usually be seen in bathrooms.

An installation is a structure with which you can mount a sink, bidet, toilet or urinal on the wall. This is a good solution for the reason that many people have small apartments with a tiny bathroom.

Types of construction and installation method

Typically, the type of installation depends on where the entire weight of the structure needs to be transferred. What types of construction are more popular?

The block installation system is suitable for those who can attach the installation to a solid wall. During installation work you cannot do without anchor bolts, but after installation the entire installation will be located in a suspended state. This way you will save free space.

The frame installation system is installed on the floor. This design can be used in false walls and partitions made of plasterboard. This type of installation is optimal for those who would like to adjust the installation height of the device.

Secrets of choice

Before choosing an installation model, the buyer needs to find out where it will be installed.

Types of installation:

standard
corner
low
bilateral

Standard ones are suitable for rooms where there are no serious restrictions on size. This installation is chosen for installation in a standard bathroom. The installation dimensions reach 50 cm in width and 112 cm in height. Such designs are bought for standard apartments, where the bathrooms are not too small, but not too large.

Low installation systems are installations with serious height restrictions. The design is optimal for small apartments. The height of the frames reaches only 82 cm.

Double-sided ones are often found in offices and shopping centers. They are optimal for such structures, because they have bowls located on both sides at once.

Corner installations are suitable for those who would like to install a toilet in the corner of the toilet. The problem can be solved by purchasing corner modules for small bathrooms.

It is worth noting separately that sometimes it is necessary to install several toilets, sinks or other plumbing fixtures on one wall at once. If everything must be installed in line, then a special installation system will help.

Although the choice of models is large, buying the right installation is not difficult. It is necessary to take into account the features of installation work.

Installation for the toilet: what is it?

Plumbing installation is one of the options for assembling and connecting all elements of the toilet. The use of such a device helps to improve the efficiency, functionality and hygienic qualities of the room.

The installation system makes it possible to use previously inaccessible bathroom equipment or plumbing units while hiding all communications behind finishing materials.

Frame installation

Frame installations are widely used when installing wall-hung toilets, but they are also quite suitable for installing small-sized plumbing floor systems. With the help of such devices, a visual enlargement of any room, even a very small one, is ensured, and the comfort of its use is also significantly increased.

The most modern and high-quality installations for toilets are characterized by very high reliability indicators, and therefore are able to withstand a fairly serious level of load.

Control

The controls should be stylish and not go beyond the design of the room in which the installation is installed. Then the design will not spoil the room in which it is installed.

However, management must also be assessed by technical indicators. All controls must be ergonomic (comfortable). Otherwise, using the design will not be very convenient. You need to make sure that the controls can be easily accessed. If you need to disassemble something for this, then it is not advisable to buy such a model.

It is important that the structure can be repaired without dismantling the tiled wall.

Choosing a manufacturer

FORUMHOUSE users who work professionally with plumbing are advised to look first of all at the manufacturer and choose products from trusted manufacturers with a good reputation.

If you approach your purchase wisely, you won’t spend much more money than on installations done roughly and using cheap equipment.

These manufacturers now have ready-made data sets: installation + button + fasteners + sound-absorbing gasket, and the cost is significant (taking everything separately is more expensive).

The quality of the parts, the strength of the frame, and the equipment are important. I don’t like frames made roughly and using cheap equipment - for almost the same cost you can have an excellent frame with expensive and precise components.

Water drain mode

Particular importance is given to the water drainage mode. In many regions, water tariffs are high, so consumers save on everything, including flushing the toilet.

Some manufacturers produce models with different drain operating modes. It could even be a drain interruption. There is a double flush and a single flush. Consumers can choose between several flush volumes (large and small). To configure the flush operating mode, it is advisable to buy a model with a modern flush panel.

Types of buttons

dual mode buttons
buttons with a flush-stop system.
contactless buttons.

The simplest ones are ordinary two-mode buttons. Their installation does not require an electricity supply or installation of batteries. They are considered the most reliable. The same can be said about the “flush-stop” buttons. They are reliable and rarely break.

With contactless buttons everything is much more complicated. They are equipped with a sensitive sensor that can track the presence of a person in the bathroom or even in the immediate vicinity of the toilet. This is very convenient, but if such a button breaks, it will be much more difficult to repair.

In budget models, these buttons may be made too poorly. If the button fails, it will be impossible to use the toilet. The design of the button makes installation difficult; you will have to hire a specialist.

But contactless buttons are considered much more hygienic and convenient. You don't need to touch the button with your palm to turn on the water drain. This is especially important in public places, which is why such buttons are often found at train stations and hospitals.

Manufacturing company

The reputation of the installation manufacturing company should not be discounted. There are dozens of manufacturers on the market. The products of some of them are very expensive, although they do not stand out for their particularly high quality. The reason for the inflated price is the brand's reputation.

If you buy an installation made by a company with a bad reputation, then elements in their installations often break (touch buttons). Products from more well-known manufacturing companies are much less susceptible to this problem.

How to choose an installation for a wall-hung toilet

Before purchasing, you need to find out what weight it can withstand.
When choosing an installation, you need to take into account the appearance, size, ease of installation and maintenance.

Criterias of choice:

Type of construction. Modular inexpensive, with simple installation. Frame – durable, fastened at the top and bottom. Corner - high price, labor-intensive installation.
How much weight can it bear? The structures can withstand a weight of 120-400 kg.
Type of wall in the bathroom. To install the installation, the minimum wall thickness is 0.5 bricks.
The size of the hole in the flush plate. Through it, access to the insides of the tank is provided.
Tank body. In expensive products - solid plastic. In cheap ones, it is soldered in two parts. The foam on the tank reduces the noise level and prevents the formation of condensation.
Material of fittings, connecting elements. Brass and bronze parts will last a long time. Cheap analogues are made of stainless steel.
Supports for height adjustment. Plastic ones often break during installation. Steel is stronger.
Compatible with wall-hung toilet. An important parameter is the center-to-center distance between the toilet mountings. The most common size is 18 cm, less often – 23 cm.
The presence of an adjusting ring or flush speed reducer. This part allows you to avoid problems when installing the installation on rimless toilet models.
Tank volume, flush type.
Warranty period for the entire structure, drainage mechanism.
Additional functions. Elimination of unpleasant odors, microlift on the lid.
