How to choose a toilet installation 5 criteria

Plumbing of the hidden or suspended type is increasingly entering our lives. And this is not strange, because it saves space, looks modern and stylish. At the same time, its cost is quite affordable and not much higher than that of conventional plumbing. But in order for the plumbing to be suspended or flush-mounted, special auxiliary elements are needed for its operation. For example: flush-mounted shower systems, a special mixer is built into the recess of the wall, and for the drain of the suspended toilet bowl to work, a flush-mounted installation is needed. We will talk about them today. Or rather, about 5 criteria for choosing this miracle device.

What is an installation? An installation is a support device on which a plumbing device is fixed. It can be a toilet, a washbasin. The service life of plumbing depends on how high-quality the installation is.And now I will name 5 criteria for choosing this device:

Frame Type

According to the type of installation and the characteristics of the installation are: mounted and block.

Therefore, the first thing you need to decide on is the type of attachment.

The block model is a console with an interchange and a water tank. Such a system is attached only directly to the capital wall (installation to the partition is prohibited). To install it, you need a recess in the wall (niche), which is then sewn up.

The framework system is more universal and popular. It is a metal frame-frame, on the studs of which plumbing fixtures are attached. Also included are various pipes, nuts, studs, couplings that help connect plumbing to the installation. This design will allow you to install plumbing anywhere in the room. After all, the mounting points of the installation can be both to the wall and to the floor or combined.

Compatible with plumbingThe second choice point is no less important than the first.

The toilet must be compatible with the installation. Since the distance between the fixing pins of the toilet can be: 18 or 23 cm. It must match the mounting holes of the toilet. Most often there are products with a distance of 18 cm, but there are also models of sanitary ware with a distance of 23 cm. Also, modern manufacturers make models of installations with holes of 18 and 23 cm, which allows you to choose any toilet without bothering.

Product SizeSpeaking about the size of the installation, the most important thing is the depth of the tank.

After all, it depends on what the depth of the niche will be. But there is also another side of the coin, because if the installation tank is very thin, then it will not be able to hold a lot of water and will have a small drain. The best option is the NKP installation system, its depth is 10 cm.

Tank material and drainThe reliability and service life of the product depends on the quality of the drain tank.

It is better to give preference to models with a seamless tank, which guarantees tightness. The drain tank must be made of high-quality polypropylene. And have a volume of at least 6 liters.

Drain buttonThe only visible element of the system and, of course, it should not only be beautiful.

The button must be of the same brand as the installation, otherwise it simply won't suit you. Often the buyer is led to the tempting price of the installation, and then it turns out that the button to it costs more than it itself. Therefore, it is better to choose and buy them together. Of course, the button should fit under the tile, the interior of the bathroom. The button should have two drains: small and large. This allows you to save water or gives you the right to choose.

I hope that these 5 points were useful to you. And now you can easily decide on the installation that suits you.
