Toilet in the country with a toilet: how to equip in nature

Residents of city apartments have long been accustomed to the amenities that modern housing provides. Therefore, even coming on vacation in the countryside, few people want to refuse such an achievement of civilization as a comfortable toilet. This is not necessary, because even on the garden plot you can send natural necessities with comfort, it is enough to build a toilet-septic tank in the country with a toilet.

Detailed instructions describing the process are presented below.

Design features

Species

Most often the dacha lavatory is a small detached house made of wood, slate, corrugated board or other material remaining after the construction of the dwelling.

Nobody thought about how to put a toilet in the country. In the booth settled down a toilet seat or a box in which a hole of the appropriate size was made. Ease of use of this design was not provided. The main emphasis in the design was on functionality.

But times change, and the toilet in the country with their own hands sets an increasing number of people. Moreover, in specialized stores, a variety of different models have appeared, intended for use in suburban areas.

Tip! If your country house is equipped with the necessary engineering networks - plumbing and sewage - you can simply install a standard device that is mounted in city apartments. If it is intended to use such a toilet in the winter, the central heating should also be installed at the dacha, otherwise the water in the plumbing fixtures may freeze and make them unusable.

When a detached house is used as a toilet, you need to purchase special toilet bowls that have the following design differences:

1. Low weight. Too massive ceramic toilets used in city apartments are not suitable for country toilets, as light flooring over a cesspool may not sustain their weight.

1. Ability to use without water. As a rule, freestanding toilets are not equipped with running water, so you cannot use classic models with a flush cistern.
2. No knee. The toilet in the country toilet is installed without connecting to the sewer network. Therefore, the knee, which serves to create a water seal, is not suitable here (another reason is lack of water).
3. Special fastening system. Country plumbing fixtures are attached to the floor with ordinary screws. Complex fixation systems are not required or used here.

Often in the country install toilet bowls made of two different materials. You can learn about the features of each model from the table below.

Requirements

Summarize the nuances that should be paid attention to when buying a toilet for installation in the country.

1. They should not have a drain if you do not intend to install them in a house equipped with sewage engineering network.
2. Toilets should be easy to assemble and dismantle. The latter is necessary for the periodic cleaning of the cesspool of waste accumulated there.

Tip! Choosing mounting options, give preference to those that do not require the use of power tools. After all, in the country, especially a new one, there is often no access to an electrical outlet, where you can plug in a screwdriver or a perforator.

1. Do not buy too expensive models. Dacha plots at the end of the season are often left unguarded, so your expensive plumbing fixture can become the object of criminal infringement.

1. Get models with a wide base. In this case, you will not need to separately purchase and install toilet seats. The wide toilet is ready to use without them.

Installation procedure

Now we will focus on how to install the toilet in the country.

The specific method depends on what type of cesspool you have equipped:

• from prefabricated blocks, rings or concrete;
• from an iron barrel.

In the first case, the installation is extremely simple. On the toilet flooring you need to install a toilet and fix it with screws.

It is advisable to use rubber seals. So the toilet will be fixed more closely.

In order not to suffer from an unpleasant smell, ventilation should be done in the toilet house. An asbestos or polymer pipe with a diameter of about 10 cm and a length of about 3 meters is suitable for it.

It must be installed in the cesspool and out of the toilet. The resulting thrust will be sufficient to ensure the removal of gases.

Note! If the toilet is located close to the house, the pipe cut should be located above the uppermost window of the dwelling. Otherwise, biological gases generated in the cesspool can get straight into the living space, ruining your impression of outdoor recreation.

When a barrel is used as a cesspool, then before installing the toilet bowl, you need to make an adapter — a cone rolled up from a galvanized sheet. The fact is that the diameter of any toilet bowl is larger than the size of the barrel, so without such a device waste can fall past, littering the soil.

The upper diameter of the cone should be made the width of the toilet, the bottom - the diameter of the barrel. Leave some space for thermal deformation, otherwise in winter the metal may break as a result of compression.

Do not forget to carefully seal all joints and seams with a sealant.

Conclusion

Having bought and installed a toilet in your country house, you will be able to use the restroom with the facilities you used to while living in a city apartment. However, to preserve the performance of your sanitary facilities, you need to take care of periodic cleaning of the cesspool.
