Also, the frame can only rely on the floor. Thus, the installation receives an additional advantage, since its installation can be done anywhere in the bathroom, without being tied to the wall.
  4. It is necessary to bring appropriate communications to the equipment.
  5. The lack of design - the high price.
  6. Overall dimensions of the installation:

    • frame height - 800-1400 mm (the first size is usually used for installation under the window);
    • the width of the device is 500-600 mm.

    Preparation for installation of the built-in toilet without installation

    As mentioned above, the installation is not always used when installing the built-in toilet. In this case, the installation is carried out directly to the wall, and the water tank and the coupling for its drain are mounted hidden in a concrete monolithic base, which also performs the supporting functions from below. This method of installation in terms of reliability is not inferior to the installation and is economically much beneficial.

    Process

    Below will be given a step-by-step instruction that will help to understand the question:

    1. Prepare a sewer. Install your own coupling to drain.

    Tip: if you need to adjust the length of the coupling, cut it or increase it with a pipe-nozzle.

    1. Mark on the wall space for the installation of studs in such a way that the toilet was located at a height of 400-450 mm above the floor. Make a distance of 200 mm between them.
    2. Drill a wall through. Pass the studs through these holes and fix the nuts and washers on the back side.

    Tip: Drill a hole in the wall with a diameter of more ends of the studs and a depth of 20-30 mm. Insert the studs with the nuts into them and coat them with a putty. In this case, the ends will not protrude.

    1. Install the formwork - in the center of the shield with holes and two on the sides. To hold the formwork, tighten the nuts on the heels and on the other side. Check that the formwork is properly installed at the building level. Protect the threaded outlets on the rods and the coupling out with plastic bags.
    Formwork

    2. Smear the toilet outlet under the sink universal silicone sealant.
    3. Install the toilet and connect the drain to it.
