Common Problems in the Installation Process of Wall Hung Toilets
The wall-hung toilet fits closely with the back wall, so there is no dead angle problem. At the same time, the bottom is separated from the ground for a certain distance, and it is easy to clean. It is now a popular sanitary ware in many modern households. However, due to its special design, the following two major problems may occur during the installation process.
Pipeline
There are two drainage methods: wall drainage and ground drainage. You can go to the bathroom to observe the huge drain of the toilet, whether it is installed on the floor or on the wall. The design of installing on the ground is ground drainage, and the design of installing on the wall is wall drainage (currently 99% of houses are ground drainage).
If it is wall drainage, there is no need to make any changes to the pipeline. (The toilets that can be used for wall drainage are not only wall-hung toilets. Our common toilets have wall drainage models)
But if it is ground drainage, we need to adjust the pipeline and install the drain on the wall. There are two ways to change.
1. Extend the pipeline
This is the easiest to understand. Add another section to the original ground drain, which stretches all the way to the wall. In order to prevent the pipes from being hidden underground after adding pipes, the old pipes can be cut down a section, and then new pipes can be connected.
2. Pipe fitting tee
The old drain was directly blocked and used. We looked aside and found the vertical main pipe. Open a hole in the main pipe and add a tee. And extend the pipe from the tee to the toilet position, and make a new drain.
Water tank installation
The wall-hung toilet is divided into two parts. The first part is the toilet we see. It is the same as the ordinary toilet. It can be installed after the decoration is completed. The toilet business generally provides services.
The other part is invisible to us, the part of the water tank hidden in the wall (the wall-hung toilet has a separate water tank, and its water tank is not integrated into the toilet). This part needs to be installed during the renovation of the main body of the decoration or the water and electricity renovation stage. The decoration workers are generally responsible for the installation.
There are also the following two methods to install the water tank.
1. Chisel wall installation
If the wall directly behind the toilet is a non-load-bearing wall, you can open a groove on the wall that is slightly larger than the water tank (including the support frame), and then put the water tank in the groove.
The advantage of this is that the wall behind the toilet will be flat like other walls in the future and will not take up extra space.
2. Bricklaying installation
If the wall directly behind the toilet is a load-bearing wall, or you simply don’t want to slot in the wall, you can also build a wall to install it. The method is to put the water tank directly on the wall and start connecting the pipes. After the pipes are connected, build the walls around and cover the water tank in the new wall.
The newly built wall is obviously more prominent than other walls after the decoration is completed. But it’s okay, you can use it as decoration, or you can put debris on top of the wall.
Because the pipes and water tanks are of hidden design, the installation process will be more complicated.
