Installation for the toilet: how to securely and securely
Recently, sanitary devices for the toilet, which are mounted on the wall of the room, are becoming more common. They save space, hide drains and pipes, make cleaning easier, and so on. But the instruction for their installation requires that the installation system for the toilet bowl be used during the installation. On the varieties of this design and the order of its installation by hand do read below.
Design features of the device
First of all, you need to figure out what is an installation for installing a toilet?
Without going into technical details, and without resorting to complex engineering terms, we can say that the installation is a special frame made of steel, which serves to fix the sanitary plumbing fixtures, install additional equipment and supply the necessary engineering networks for them - plumbing and sanitary.
To make it clearer, consider the installation device for the toilet. All its components, as well as their detailed description are given in the table.
| Title | Description |
| Frame | It is made of high-strength carbon steel, covered with special protective compounds and a layer of powder paint that prevents corrosion and also protects the structure from adverse external factors. It is equipped with pipes for connecting plumbing and sewage, equipped with holes for mounting studs that hold the installation on the floor or against the wall. |
| Cistern | It is made of high-strength polymer to prevent the destruction of the container due to corrosion. Gaskets and drain fitting membranes are made of special durable rubber or silicone. In addition, a special system is provided to protect the room from being flooded due to overflow of the tank with water. It is equipped with a special revision door, allowing to carry out repairs without dismantling the frame. |
| Toilet | It can be not only suspended (although this is the most common option), but also outdoor. In the latter case, the installation is used to secure the hidden tank. Most installation systems are universal, that is, they can be used for the installation of sanitary devices of any manufacturer. |
| Flush button | It is mounted on the wall after its decorative finishing with tiles or other material of your choice. It is connected to the drain fittings hidden inside the wall. There are several types: with one or two modes of flushing, as well as automatic, responsive to movement. |
Tip! When buying installation systems, give preference to only quality products of well-known brands. Although their price is higher than similar models of less well-known manufacturers, you should not save on the frame, since your safety when visiting the toilet directly depends on it.

Choosing the right model
Before proceeding with the procedure of fixing the installation in your toilet room, you should decide on the design option you need.
There are several options here:
- Installation, which is mounted on the main wall. A narrow model will be suitable, since the main load on the retention of the sanitary device will be borne by the structural elements of the building.
- Frame installed at the interior partition. You need to purchase a model with long horizontal supports, fixed to the floor. Although the installation is screwed to the wall, the main load will be borne by these elements.
- Island Model. It is necessary in case you will be installing a sanitary appliance without being tied to any wall. For example, in the middle of the room. It is necessary to take care of making the box for the installation of the toilet bowl, as well as to move the engineering networks to the installation point.
- Special types of frames. This category includes a low installation, the height of which, as a rule, is 82 cm. It is used to install a toilet bowl under the window, and also allows you to equip the shelf behind a sanitary fixture.
Note! Even the thinnest of all existing mounting frames on the market occupies a certain space in the toilet room. When designing and conducting measurements, consider this circumstance.
Installation procedure
Having defined the design, proceed to the installation.
Installation installation is as follows:
- A frame is attached to your chosen wall or pre-marked part of the floor. To do this, fit studs with dowels of suitable diameter or anchor bolts of the desired length. Use fittings that come with the installation. It is coated with a special anti-corrosion protective compound.
- After that, the tank is screwed (if it is not installed in advance). When working, be careful not to damage the styrofoam protective layer, due to which condensed moisture does not accumulate on the surface of the container.
- Then the water supply is done. It is better to use rigid tubes made of steel, brass or copper. They are more durable and have a sufficiently long service life.
- After that the sewerage is connected. If the holes of the nozzle on the installation and the drain neck of the sewer pipe do not match, you can connect them with a polymeric corrugated cuff. Do not forget to miss the joint of the joint with a sanitary silicone sealant to ensure greater tightness.
- The next stage is the installation of the box. As a rule, the frame is sheathed with sheets of drywall. You need to buy material with a green substrate, which is intended for use in rooms with high humidity levels.
- It remains only to revet the box with decorative material. For this purpose, ceramic tiles are used, which are selected based on your personal preferences and the design of the entire room.
Important nuances
To make your work as easy as possible and not to make annoying mistakes, it is recommended to read the following tips:
- After installing the frame and before finishing the finishing work, all openings should be closed with rags or film to avoid clogging of engineering networks with construction debris.
- Installing the toilet on the installation upon completion of the finishing works is possible only after at least 10 days. This is the amount of time necessary for the tile adhesive to be completely polymerized, and the tile does not crack from the applied load.
- Special care must be taken when cutting off the pipes connecting the toilet to the installation. These items are only sold with a sanitary fixture. Purchase them separately will not work.
- Before installing the toilet bowl, it is necessary to fix a special cushioning pad on the wall, in which holes are made for nozzles and fasteners. Tighten all bolts gradually and in turn until the bowl is firmly fixed to the frame.
Do not tighten the bolts with too much force. It can damage ceramics.
Conclusion
The installation is very useful for fixing wall-hung toilet bowls. As for the classic models, the procedure for their installation is fundamentally different from that discussed above. You can learn more about this from the video in this article.
