How to install a toilet yourself? It is necessary to connect it to the water supply and sewerage. To avoid any problems, you should know in advance what type of connection to the sewage system is used in your bathroom.
Preparation for installation
The installation of the toilet begins with the selection of the desired model. Before you make a purchase, take into account the exact parameters of your bathroom. You need to know its dimensions, the features of pipe laying and the type of connection of the toilet to the sewer.
Typically, in standard apartments are toilet bowls, compact. In shops you can also find toilets designed for large bathrooms. If you decide to purchase one, be sure to take measurements and make sure that it can be installed in place of the old one.
Connection Type Selection
It is very important not to make a mistake with the type of connection. The toilet outlet pipe can be made at different angles. Some older houses use a vertical drain coming out of the floor.
Much more often you can find releases of two other types - angular and horizontal, extending parallel to the floor. If the type of release is chosen incorrectly, the installation of the toilet can be significantly more complicated.
Pay attention to how the drain tank is connected to the water supply. The water supply hose can fit either from below or from the side. If you decide to choose a tank with side piping, check if there will be enough free space to connect the hose.
If the layout of the bathroom does not allow the hose to be led on the side, choose a toilet with a bottom water connection. When choosing the type of eyeliner, consider that tanks with lateral water supply are more noisy when filling.
