If you install such connecting materials, then pay attention to the exact coincidence of the size of the docking points, since no adjustment in place will be possible.

Rubber cuffs

These products have different lengths, which allows you to connect the device to the sewage system with different types of wastewater. Cuffs are made of polymer compounds and look like a product with two taps, having shifted axes.

• A corrugated sliding pipe is inserted into the sewer hole, the joint is lubricated with silicone.
• Install the toilet and make the connection to the pipe, check for leaks. We pour a few liters of water into the toilet and see if it is flowing at the joint.
• We make markup for drilling to install dowels. These places coincide with the holes on the basis of the toilet.
• Move the toilet down to drill the holes in the right places and install the dowels.

• We put the plumbing in place, connect with the corrugation, test the strength of the connection and wrap the fasteners.
• An important step in testing the quality of the installation is the endurance test. Sit on the toilet and swing in different directions.
• When the product stands firmly, we seal the joints.

How to replace the toilet in the old house

But, armed with the knowledge and necessary tools, this process does not seem too inventive to you. But if you are overcome with doubts - contact the professionals.

Since the old houses are mainly equipped with oblique drainage forms, the connection of the toilet bowl to the cast-iron pipe is carried out as follows:

• The drain hole of the product is inserted into the sewer pipe. The resulting gaps are covered with cement, making sure that the solution does not get inside.
• It is best to use a rubber cuff, as it is most suitable for oblique types of drains. We put it on the release and put it in the sewer pipe. We seal joints and uneven places with sealant.
• Corrugated products are better to apply in the case when installing plumbing will have an angle to the bell. The only drawback can be constantly stagnant water in the corrugation, as there will be a slight bias. Still such pipes are relevant in those situations when the toilet is set high and the outlet does not fit into the sewer drain.
• To prevent the appearance of third-party odors in toilet bowls with a direct type of drain, you can put on an eccentric cuff for release and then put it on the socket.
