Toilets with oblique release: how with minimal effort to
Earlier, during the times of the Soviet Union, the range of sanitary devices on the domestic market did not spoil consumers with its diversity. Now the diversity of new models amazes even the most spoiled imagination. There were even imported toilets with oblique release, as well as a vertical arrangement of the pipe, which were little known in our country.
It is about them that will be discussed below.
Varieties of devices
The location of the exhaust pipes
When buying a sanitary device for arranging the toilet room, first of all, it is necessary to pay attention to the shape of the outlet. It depends on him how the equipment is installed indoors.
There are three common patterns of placement of pipes:
- Horizontal. Here the channel through which waste is removed is located parallel to the floor. For docking the toilet with the sewer network, straight, eccentric or corrugated cuffs are used.
- Vertical. The nozzle is located at an angle of 90 degrees to the horizon. For the installation of such a device it is necessary that the neck of the sewer pipe be located in the floor.
- Oblique. Here, the outlet channel is located at an angle of 30 to 40 degrees. The advantage of this device is ease of installation, regardless of the method of placement of the sewer pipe.
Note! Each category has many additional varieties. For example, there is a compact toilet with a slanting release, which can be installed in small toilets, a slanting toilet with a microlift, eliminating the purchase of additional accessories for toilet facilities, or a slanting corner toilet, fixed in the corner of the room. If the price does not limit you, the choice depends only on personal preferences and the chosen style of design.
To make it easier to navigate the existing range of products, we will focus on the description of some species in more detail.
Types of toilet bowls
Consider the main types of sanitary products with an oblique arrangement of the exhaust pipe.
| View | Description |
| The shape of the bowl | |
| Dish-shaped | In such a device, the back wall has a peculiar ledge, resembling in appearance a dining plate, and the drain hole itself is located slightly above the bottom. A dish-shaped toilet with an oblique outlet is distinguished by the fact that when the water is drained from the cistern the liquid does not splash in different directions. But this design feature leads to increased water consumption and the possible appearance of an unpleasant odor from the sewage system. |
| Visor | If you look in profile at the device of this variety, you can see that the back wall is slightly inclined to the front, where the drain hole is located. An oblique drainage toilet bowl also saves owners from splashing and minimizes the appearance of unpleasant odors. However, the surface itself is poorly cleaned from waste and requires frequent use of a brush. |
| Funnels | They look like canopies, but the drain hole is located closer to the center. In such a toilet, the surface is cleaned as thoroughly as possible, but during draining the water can splash heavily in different directions. |
| By production material | |
| Ceramic | Toilets and porcelain toilet bowls are presented in this category. Preferably the latter, since the surface of the faience device is prone to cracking. Porcelain is easier to wash, it retains its appearance longer and does not collapse under the influence of negative environmental factors. |
| Acrylic | Polymer toilet bowls have high durability. Pathogenic microbes do not multiply on the surface of acrylic, so such devices can be installed in facilities with high sanitary requirements. However, they are very whimsical in care. The surface of the plastic is easily damaged with metal brushes, abrasive cleaning agents and so on. In addition, plastic absorbs dirt and odors, and also quickly loses its attractive appearance. |
| According to the location of the drain tank | |
| With a separate tank | Most often these are models with a drainage tank installed hidden (wall mounted). For their installation, special frames are used in which an opening is already provided, where the drain branch pipe is inserted when fastening. |
| Compact | In such devices, the drain tank is an integral part of the unit. Compact toilet with oblique release - the most common model on the market. Differs in simplicity of installation, attractive appearance and reasonable cost. |
Tip! Based on the above data, you can independently create for yourself a rating of toilet bowls with an oblique release, which will help you decide on the appropriate model of the device.
Installation of a toilet bowl
Preparatory stage
It is time to figure out how to install the toilet with an oblique release with his own hands. It should be noted that the installation procedure is quite simple, it is only necessary to strictly follow the requirements set forth in the installation instructions and carefully carry out each step.
The sequence of actions is as follows:
- Before starting work, turn off the tap installed on the pipe that supplies water to the drain tank, and drain the water from the tank. It is also advisable to stock up with rags and a bucket, as during dismantling the liquid remaining in the knee will drain and flood the floor.
- It is necessary to dismantle the old toilet. As a rule, this construction will no longer be used, so you can safely break it into pieces. So you will speed up the process a lot. At the same time, care must be taken not to hurt yourself with sharp fragments of ceramics and not to destroy the iron or plastic sewer pipe.
Note! If the toilet was bolted to the floor with studs or bolts, simply unscrew or drill the fasteners and then remove the structure. In this case, it is not necessary to destroy the product.
- Remove the base of the toilet bowl, filled with concrete, you need with a hammer and chisel. You should get rid of all the influx of mortar, ceramic residue and uneven floor. If you do not carefully clean the base, the new toilet can swing, which will not add pleasure when visiting the toilet.
- Just need to carefully handle and drain the sewer pipe. If you had an old toilet installed, the pipe was probably sealed with tow and oil paint. It is necessary to thoroughly clean the end of the pipe from all residues, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve a tight connection.
Device installation
Having dealt with the preparation, we proceed to discuss the question of how to properly install the toilet with an oblique release and connect it to the sewer system.
It is still easier here:
- You need to install the toilet in place, then with a marker or pencil mark points for future holes.
- By removing the plumbing device in a safe place, drilling is performed. To this end, it is desirable to use a drill with a drill for drilling tiles. Otherwise, there is a danger of splitting the ceramic that covers the floor.
- Then a cuff is put on the outlet. Before this, it is advisable to grease the joint with a sanitary gel, which, once solidified, forms the most hermetic seal.
- Install the toilet in place. For fixing, you can use studs with dowels or anchor bolts. Do not overtighten the fasteners too much, as fragile ceramics can crack due to excessive force.
- The last point - docking cuff with a sewer pipe. Here, too, sealer for sewer pipes is useful. The tow that was used earlier is not suitable, as loosening up can create a blockage at the outlet of the toilet bowl.
Having finished installation of a toilet bowl with slanting release, it is not necessary to try it at once in business. For the polymerization of sealants need some time. Therefore, it is better to transfer the tests to a later date.
Conclusion
The best toilet bowls with oblique release are those that were selected and installed in the dwelling independently, because who, if not the owner of the house, knows about all their needs and wishes of the household. You can do other work in the house with your own hands. For more on this, see the video in this article.
