Main features of placement and installation of a toilet with direct release

• Types of toilets
• Horizontal release
• Oblique release
• Toilets with vertical outlet
• Choosing a toilet

After the renovation is completed, the choice of plumbing fixtures is a fairly important issue. It’s very good when the bathtub and toilet are decorated in the same style, and it will be even better if all the equipment is from the same manufacturer. If choosing a bathtub is quite easy, then when choosing a toilet, we often wonder which toilet outlet is better.

For residents of city apartments, there is no choice, since you will have to purchase the model that fits the sewer system. If you are the happy owner of a plot of land and have decided to build your house on it, then even at the planning stage you can provide a sewerage structure for connecting a toilet. In this case, the choice is entirely yours.

Types of toilets

Some buyers are sometimes not even particularly happy with the large selection of plumbing fixtures in stores. It is so difficult to make a choice from all the variety that many get lost. The first thing before going to the store to buy this equipment is to look into the toilet and see how the sewer pipe is located.

Depending on its location, toilet equipment comes in several versions:

1. Toilet with vertical outlet.
2. Oblique release.
3. Horizontal release.

Toilet design with vertical outlet

Maybe some people don't know what a release is and it confuses them? The outlet is a hole through which the sewer will connect to the toilet. It can be located in only three directions and its choice must correspond to the sewer pipe.

For devices with a horizontal outlet, the hole is located at the same level as the sewer pipe. This mechanism is very often found in imported models.

The vertical outlet is immediately directed to the floor; this type is often used in private homes.

In our apartments you can most often see an oblique outlet, when the pipe comes out at an angle of 45 degrees to the floor.

In order to decide which version of toilet to choose, you need to get acquainted with each variety and find out their pros and cons.

How to care for vertical models

There is no special technology for caring for vertical models. But it should be noted that imported plumbing fixtures and, in particular, tank fittings are very sensitive to water quality. Therefore, it is advisable to install a coarse filter at the entrance to the tank so that rust and large debris do not damage the settings of the mechanism.

It is not necessary to install a powerful, expensive water purifier for the toilet tank; a standard brass coarse filter is sufficient.

Horizontal release

This type of toilet has recently become increasingly popular. Such release can be observed in new buildings, where the sewer system is prudently made for them.

For equipment with a horizontal outlet, the outlet at the rear is parallel to the floor. To install such a toilet, you need to move it tightly against the wall. If this is not done, then the view, frankly speaking, will not be very attractive. The sewer pipe is connected using a special cuff.

The toilet is attached to the floor, as usual, using dowels and bolts. Among the advantages of this model are:

Toilet with horizontal outlet

• Easy to install.
• Neat appearance.
• Convenient location for repairs.

In addition to the advantages, you can also find disadvantages. If the installation is not carried out according to the rules, then the connection between the sewer pipe and the pipe will not last long. The designs of toilets with horizontal outlet can be very diverse, so their popularity is only growing. Here you can see: side-mounted, floor-standing, hanging models. Depending on the size of your toilet, you can choose the appropriate option.

Choose your size

Standard dimensions of a floor-standing toilet

If we talk about standard toilet sizes, domestic manufacturers try to adhere to the following sizes:

It is important to understand that these are “bare” dimensions, without additional accessories. Considering that in most cases, the toilet comes complete with a tank, the overall dimensions increase proportionally.

It is worth noting that the height of the tank may vary depending on the country of origin. For example, the accepted European standards are considered to be dimensions 680*360*400 for the depth (length), width and height of the toilet rim, respectively.

Hanging sanitary fixtures

Recently, such models of plumbing fixtures are gaining steadily growing popularity. The advantage of wall-hung toilets is that the water supply is hidden in the wall, so the design of the bathroom is not disturbed. In addition, the hinged structure visually expands the internal space. It is worth noting that such models are very resistant to static loads and can withstand up to 400 kg . Some manufacturers provide a double safety margin ( up to 800 kg ).

It is worth noting that installing a wall-hung toilet greatly simplifies cleaning the premises.

Wall-hung plumbing comes complete with an installation - a special mounting structure, the dimensions of which are indicated in the article below.

Corner products made of sanitary ceramics

Such models are often installed in small residential buildings and industrial buildings. Thanks to the corner installation, the toilet not only saves internal space, but also partially hides utility lines. The following standard sizes are relevant for such models:

Height: 37 – 43 cm

Depth: 72.5 – 79 cm

Width: 34.5 – 37.5 cm

When choosing a size, you must take into account the width of the corner.

Dimensions of built-in toilets

Such models are characterized by a hidden installation of the cistern. This element is hidden by a false panel or built into the wall. Thanks to the installation features, built-in toilets operate virtually silently.

When choosing plumbing, you can be guided by the following parameters:

Height: 39 – 42 cm

Depth: 47 – 58 cm

Width: 35.5 – 37 cm

It is worth noting that built-in toilets are found on the market in floor-mounted and wall-hung versions.

Installation - specialized mounting structure

Frame . Depth: 135 - 300, height - 800 - 1,400, width - 500 - 600 mm.

Block . Depth: 100 - 150, height - up to 1,000, width - 500 - 600 mm.

Toilet - bidet: two in one

Plumbing fixtures that combine the functions of a toilet and a bidet are almost impossible to find in standard apartments: they are a rare guest on the domestic market. However, such models are very convenient to use, therefore they are widely used in cottages and apartments built according to individual projects. Typically, shower toilets differ from standard products in their larger dimensions and increased volume of the flush cistern.

The general dimensions of such products can be as follows:

Floor installation : 700/410/785 (length/width/height). Along the toilet rim – 390 mm .

Hanging (hidden installation): 485/355/315 (length/width/height).

Most shower toilet models have water pressure regulators and thermostats.

Large toilets

Such products are intended for people with excess body weight. Large toilets differ from standard models and can be made to order. The following parameters are considered standard dimensions:

Height – 65 cm

Depth – 70 cm

Width – 40 cm

The design of such toilets is usually reinforced, so they can withstand loads of up to 500 kg .

The most compact toilets

If we talk about non-standard sizes, it makes sense to consider the parameters of small-sized products. Narrow, small toilets are ideal for installation in small bathrooms. Here you can use the following dimensions:

Oblique release

Toilets with an oblique outlet have been produced for a long time, dating back to the times of the Soviet Union. They are still being produced, so if something happens to the toilet in your apartment, or you decide to change it, you can choose an option without any problems.

The outlet pipe from the toilet is located at an angle to the floor. The main advantage of such toilets is their reliability and versatility. Nowadays, most new buildings install direct flush toilets. If you suddenly decide to replace it with an oblique one, it will not be difficult.

You can easily remove the old version and install the model you like in its place. To eliminate the discrepancy, you need to purchase an adapter that can easily connect your oblique projection to the sewer pipe. You just need to make sure that all connections are completely sealed.

To ensure a reliable connection, you must be especially careful when choosing corrugations. If you purchase a part that is not of very high quality, then after a while you will have to eliminate leaks, as it will begin to crack.

Algorithm for installing a vertical device

Once again, returning to the list of advantages of a toilet with a direct outlet type, you can add an item to it: installation of the device is so simple that any man who has not worked with plumbing before can handle it.

The biggest requirement in the work is the accuracy of all actions. Otherwise, it is fraught with a leak after some period of time. Failure to follow all step-by-step instructions can cause sewer “odors” to appear.

Removing the old device

• The water supply in the common riser is cut off.
• The liquid remaining in the drain tank is drained into the bowl.
• The flexible supply hose is disconnected.
• The old structure is removed from its place.

Cement mortar may interfere with the quick removal of the structure. If an old toilet gets damaged, it’s not so scary. In this situation, the sewer pipe must be more protected. Therefore, the cement is knocked down carefully.

A simple method is used to quickly separate the structure from the sewer:

• a sharp blow is applied to the drain neck. The impact will cause the neck to split, and the remaining elements will be easier to remove.

Toilets with vertical outlet

Toilets of this design are connected to a sewer pipe located in the floor. Such models can often be seen in old houses and are preferred to be used in private buildings. This type of toilet has many advantages over other types and, having studied them, you will no longer have the question of which version to choose a toilet with.

So, what are the advantages of these models:

1. An excellent model for country mansions and old apartments.
2. Such structures operate almost silently.
3. Such toilets most often have a funnel-shaped bowl, which effectively prevents splashing and splashing of water.
4. Aesthetic appearance. The pipes are all in the floor and not exposed.
5. There is more free space left.
6. It is possible to choose models taking into account the design of the toilet room and your preferences.
7. It is possible to use decorative elements.

Progress does not stand still and manufacturers are constantly supplying the market with new varieties. They can be divided into several groups depending on the criterion. According to the place of attachment, such toilets are:

• Floor-standing.
• Hanging.

Firms even take into account the age of their customers and produce:

• Adult toilets.
• Toilets for children.

Comfortable toilet bowl

The bowl in the equipment can have different shapes:

• Funnel-shaped.
• Rounded.
• Designer form, when custom production is possible.

The drainage system can also be different, and manufacturers have gone far in this matter. The following options exist:

• Single-mode. When you press the button, the tank is completely emptied.
• Dual mode system. There is a bifurcated push button with which you can pour out all the water from the tank or only part of it.
• Contactless. The latest invention is not yet very widespread due to its high cost.

You may often come across the question, are there toilets with side discharge? This question is reasonable in the case when we have very small dimensions of the sanitary room. People's ingenuity has no limits; if you place the toilet on its side, you can make room for a washing machine.

Such varieties are not yet available, but if you wish, you can do everything. For this you can use adapters. On horizontal sections, you need to make a 90-degree turn out of two 45, although some do 90 at once, just so that there is a slope.

Types of toilets, their classification and description

A key attribute of comfortable living in an apartment is the presence of working plumbing fixtures. When choosing a toilet, it is important to understand its characteristics and operating principle. First of all, it is worth determining what types of such equipment there are and how they differ.

By connection method

Depending on the method of connection to the sewer system, there are 3 types of toilets:

1. Horizontal release.
2. Oblique.
3. Vertical.

The listed types do not differ in any advantages over each other, because they are selected according to the location and direction of the sewer pipe. Experts recommend using a minimum number of adapters to eliminate the possibility of leakage.

Oblique models have an inclination angle from 30° to 75°, so it is possible to find the best option for any layout.

In Stalin-style apartments, plumbing fixtures with a vertical outlet were installed; in Khrushchev apartments, an oblique version was used, and in modern dwellings, a horizontal one was used. To connect the toilet you will need to prepare fasteners and fittings.

Many people speed up installation of a direct flush toilet by using corrugated pipe. Sometimes a fan structure or a plastic outlet is used.

By material

Leading manufacturers of plumbing fixtures use the same materials to produce toilet bowls and water tanks (cisterns). As an exception, there are separate kits with an installation wall. Their drain tank is installed in a niche and can be made of plastic or metal, and the bowl is made of sanitary ware.

The most popular materials from which toilets are made include:

1. Faience. Products made from it are considered affordable and widespread, installed in many old-style apartments.
2. Porcelain is an elite material that is durable and reliable. Such plumbing is found in luxurious country houses and mansions of wealthy people. Sometimes bowls are installed in restaurants or hotels.
3. Metal. It is an affordable material that can withstand heavy loads, which is why products made from it are used for public toilets.
4. Plastic. This exotic product is created on the basis of acrylic and fiberglass.
5. Stone. When considering this option for plumbing equipment, it is better to focus on artificial materials, because... they are stronger and more affordable than natural ones.

Almost all of the listed materials, with the exception of metal, are not resistant to impact loads, so when they collide with a heavy object they split.

Most people settle on earthenware and porcelain sanitary ware. This is due to the low cost of the material and the presence of a porous structure that absorbs water. To protect the structure from the negative effects of moisture, it is treated with glaze. If the glazed layer is damaged, the earthenware toilet will need to be replaced.

Plastic is used to make the toilet seat and lid, but some designer models are equipped with parts made of elite wood, which are treated with waterproof varnish. Other raw materials are not allowed here due to issues of comfort and personal hygiene.

There are creative glass models, but they are not very popular due to their high cost.

By design

Depending on the design of the bowl, the following types of toilets are distinguished:

1. Visors.
2. Disc-shaped.
3. Funnel-shaped.

There are no restrictions on the choice of form. Manufacturers take into account only the design direction and consumer preferences.

Canopy toilet designs have a flush system shifted forward and a flat or slightly curved rear wall. This prevents splashing, but often causes traces of feces and an unpleasant odor.

Disc-type models have a similar drainage device. But their back wall resembles a horizontal plate or ledge, so excrement first ends up on this surface and is then washed away.

One of the disadvantages of plate toilets is the constant accumulation of water on the horizontal step, which increases the likelihood of rapid wear of the structure or the appearance of yellow spots from hard water from the pipeline.

Funnel-shaped options are considered the most optimal and convenient, because... The drain hole is located in the central part of the bowl, which minimizes the intensity of unpleasant odors and traces.

Choosing a toilet

Purchasing such equipment is a responsible matter. Several criteria must be taken into account.

Wall-hung toilet

1. Toilet release. We have already decided how to choose a toilet outlet and know that it must correspond to the sewer outlet.
2. Material of manufacture. On sale you can see models made of porcelain, earthenware and metal. Porcelain models are more hygienic, since this material has small pores and does not attract dirt much. The cost of such toilets is higher than earthenware ones.
3. The size of your toilet will affect the model you choose. In different cases, you can choose a floor-standing, wall-hung or wall-mounted toilet. For small room sizes, it is advisable to use a hanging option. It will be possible to keep the room perfectly clean, since the entire floor surface is freed up.
4. Bowl shape. It affects the formation of splashes during rinsing. Usually they are: with a slope, with a shelf and funnel-shaped.
5. The type of tank is also an important point. This is practically the most important part in this equipment. They are suspended, that is, they are mounted at a distance from the toilet. Such models are used less and less, but they provide maximum water pressure when flushing. Built-in tanks fit into the wall, saving space in the room, and operate almost silently.
6. Toilet lid. Models with a built-in microlift have now appeared on sale. Such a lid will no longer wake up your household with its rattling descent onto the toilet. If you have new equipment, then you can only purchase a seat with this design.

Thus, the variety is huge and it is really possible to get lost in this assortment. We hope that our selection tips will help you make your sanitary room comfortable, multifunctional and stylish.

Subtleties of choice and review of models

Aesthetic attractiveness is a subjective thing, because everyone has their own criteria for assessing beauty. Therefore, when choosing a product, you need, first of all, to look at its operational parameters, plus the name of the manufacturer plays an important role.

Main characteristics of the toilet

There are 3 main areas according to which absolutely all toilets are classified - the material of manufacture, the surface of the water and the method of flushing the water.

Exclusive plumbing fixtures made from stainless steel, bronze, glass and other extraordinary materials cost exorbitant amounts of money and are rare, so we will focus on traditional products available to the average user.

• Earthenware is an inexpensive ceramic that is resistant to aggressive chemicals. Such toilets occupy more than half of the market. You shouldn’t buy the cheapest earthenware; after 5–7 years of use, a network of small cracks appears on it, in which dirt accumulates. Glazing costs a little more, but the appearance of the bowl lasts up to 15 years.
• Porcelain costs half as much as its earthenware counterparts, but a good manufacturer guarantees the preservation of the appearance of the product for up to 30–40 years.

Although the performance characteristics of porcelain and earthenware plumbing are similar, in appearance and durability, porcelain is an order of magnitude better than earthenware

• Artificial stone - in production, crumbs of natural minerals are used on a polymer binder. It looks like a natural polished stone, for example, marble, but there are too many fakes on the market now and the only guarantee of quality is the manufacturer’s brand.

Artificial stone is no different from natural stone, which is why such plumbing fixtures look luxurious. But real quality can only be guaranteed by a trusted brand; if the manufacturer is unknown, then it is better to refuse the purchase

Water mirror is a professional term and it means the location of the drain hole inside the bowl; there are only 2 options.

• If the hole is closer to the tank, then the bowl gets dirty less, but during draining, splashes may occur and fall outside the bowl. Here you need to look for toilets with an anti-splash function; they have protection against water splashing out.
• If the hole is closer to the front edge, then there will be no splashes, but you will have to clean the surface of the bowl more often.

As practice shows, funnel-shaped bowls with the “Anti-splash” system are considered the most convenient.

In theory, there are 2 ways of draining - direct and circular. In the first case, the water flows in a straight line, from the tank into the hole and washes only the back of the bowl, and in the second, the water flows in a circle, accordingly washing the entire bowl. In fact, no one makes toilets with direct flush anymore, but when choosing, it’s worth checking this point.

Most modern plumbing fixtures are made with a circular drain system

Now let’s summarize and try to describe the parameters of an ideal toilet with a vertical direct outlet.

• According to materials, porcelain is considered the golden mean; the stone looks beautiful, but there you can run into a fake, which will crack and lose its appearance in a couple of years.
• Rear-type water mirror with anti-splash function, this bowl is easier to care for.
• Circular washing of the bowl when draining.
• Reliable tank fittings and a cheap release mechanism will have to be changed every year.

A few words about popular models

In Russia, the demand for vertical toilets is much lower than for models with horizontal and oblique joints. Therefore, domestic manufacturers do not favor them and imported goods dominate the market.

How to choose a lid and toilet seat

To choose a suitable toilet seat, you need to know exactly the dimensions of the plumbing fixtures. It is believed that the lid should exceed the dimensions of the toilet by about 0.5 centimeters , however, this is not a necessary condition. To make accurate measurements, you need to find out three main parameters:

Distance between mounting holes.

The length from the fastening axis to the end of the cover.

Distance from the mounting axis to the outer rim of the toilet.

In addition, you need to take into account an important nuance: the shape of the lid must match the rim of the toilet.

Seat - pad with handrails

Convenient modifications of lids with handles are provided for disabled people:

What is this mysterious microlift?

For ease of use of plumbing fixtures, additional accessories are sometimes included in the design of the toilet. One of these elements is a microlift. According to technical parameters, a microlift is similar to a regular door closer and performs similar functions. The task of the microlift is to ensure smooth lowering of the lid onto the toilet rim, excluding sharp impacts that can damage the toilet seat and ceramics.

Toilets with a microlift can be found in any plumbing store; the installation of this element has virtually no effect on the cost of the product.
