The design of the internal structure of the toilet bowl is designed in such a way as to ensure automatic water set up to a certain volume and drain it when you press a special key. Given this, the performance of such a system must be flawless. Therefore, the adjustment of the fittings of the toilet cistern is made very carefully and taking into account the special design of the internal cavity.

Phased process

To begin with, it must be said that each model of the water release system has its own characteristics. Given this, to describe one particular type simply does not make sense. That is why it is necessary to talk about how to replace the fittings in the toilet cistern in general terms, to get a complete picture of both the design itself and its installation.

System selection and disassembly

  • First of all, you need to decide on what type of construction you need to purchase.. The fact is that there are designs with lower liner or lateral input, which can be fundamentally different from each other. However, some models are specifically designed for specific types of tanks.

  • Given this diversity, professional craftsmen choose the design immediately upon purchase of the toilet bowl, checking it on the spot. If a replacement is made, they usually buy exactly the same product that they had previously.
  • It is important to note that usually the replacement of the drain tank fittings is partially performed.. It is worth changing the intermediate gasket, fixation elements and parts of the nice hole only if they are damaged. However, this does not mean that it is possible to choose incomplete products, since in the course of the replacement, previously not detected defects can always be revealed.
The simplest type of modern system that has been very popular lately.
  • Taking into account such requirements as to how the fittings of the toilet cistern are selected, the dismantling is only partially carried out.. In fact, the intake valve is removed from the tank and the float system is completely removed.

Tip! When dismantling all the work must be done very carefully so as not to damage the ceramics. Given this, some craftsmen wind up the tool with a rag to soften a random blow.

The appearance of the reinforcement after long-term operation may raise doubts about partial replacement, but the majority of the elements of such a device will work the same

Installation

Immediately it should be said that for each specific product is a guide, which explains in detail how to install the valve in the drain tank. At the same time, it makes no sense to describe it, since such documentation is designed for a specific model. However, there are small subtleties that you need to know to reduce installation time and produce it as efficiently as possible.

Typically, such products are attached drawing with an indication of the complete assembly of all parts that can be used for installation

First of all, do it yourself with hands to completely disassemble the entire structure and self-assemble with manual crimping of all connections. Usually, tools for such work are not used, since they can easily damage plastic parts of the product.

It should be noted that each model has its own installation instructions. However, professional craftsmen usually use a drawing for their work. The fact is that according to it it is possible to examine in more detail all the structural elements and their location, and fixation in the tank.

Each model has its own rules for mounting and fixing system elements.

It is worth mentioning that the answer to the question of how to change the fittings in the toilet cistern is considered inappropriate by the master, since it is enough to simply replace the damaged element. However, if it is not possible to purchase the same model, then there may be certain problems associated with incompatibility.

Therefore, professionals recommend when choosing to focus on these products, namely the shape of the exhaust valve locks. (See also the article Hanging toilet with installation: features.)

Tip! Sometimes it is much easier to make a complete disassembly with the subsequent installation of a new design than to look for individual elements or try to combine different systems.

Adjustment of valves is also carried out according to certain rules, which are focused on the features of a particular design, but when taking into account its installation in tanks of different sizes and dimensions

Customization

The question of how to adjust the fittings in the toilet cistern is also considered very important. The fact is that if this is done incorrectly, then you can either get underfilling of water, which is not enough for a full drain, or create a constant flow through the overflow hole. Therefore, this process must be approached very responsibly and competently. (See also the article Tank valve: features.)

Some manufacturers make graphic instructions that give a visual representation of the entire process and the installation and subsequent adjustment

It should be noted that the designs of such systems are different. At the same time, they have their own unique technology of regulation. However, one must immediately say that the price of the product does not depend on the type of its design, although it may vary depending on the type of material used to create it.

On some models, manufacturers themselves set the notches that indicate a certain level of water. However, they have their own adjustment, which is responsible for a particular indicator.

Tip! The principle of adjustment is better to immediately check with the seller and try it right in the store. It will relieve of superfluous questions at installation.

Sometimes even a graphic memo is too complicated and requires some clarification.

Conclusion

After studying the video in this article, you can become more familiar with the design of such devices and the principles of its operation. Also taking into account the article, which is laid out above, it is necessary to conclude that these systems are very diverse and have their own peculiarities of the principle of action.
