Independent installation of a toilet bowl

Those men who do not want to change something from the plumbing every time to call a master or ask someone from friends who have the necessary skills, you can recommend learning how to do everything yourself. The installation of a toilet bowl can be a business that you will master yourself, since this is not such a difficult job, but it is also necessary to understand it.

To begin with, it is necessary to dismantle the old toilet bowl, while it is important to remember that you must first shut off the water supply to the tank, and in the absence of a separate tap - in the entire apartment. After that it is important to drain the water that is already in the tank. Next, the hose that supplies water to it, and then the tank itself, must be disconnected. This is usually done very simply if the fasteners are not stuck tight, otherwise the Bulgar can be useful, which they can be cut off. After that, you can dismantle the toilet itself. Usually they are attached to the floor by means of anchor bolts that hold the sole. Bulgarian can be useful here, too, to get rid of them. However, the installation of the toilet bowl can not be started immediately afterwards.

Now you have to replace the cast-iron insert, which is in the pipe. To do this, you need to clean the glass from the gasket materials, after which you must try to loosen the insert. This is quite difficult, but without this it will not be possible to install the toilet. There will be no problems if a plastic insert is used, but they are not found in old houses, so you should be prepared for difficulties.

Installation of the toilet is made on a flat surface, which can serve as a cement screed or ceramic tiles. The toilet is installed in the planned place, after which it is usually tried to put the corrugation on the drain neck and insert it into the sewer. Next, you should check whether the device will slide off the neck.

If everything is fine, then mark the places for the dowels with a marker or pencil, necessarily draw a marker and the bottom of the toilet. Then you can drill the holes for the dowels, and then insert them.

Now you can install the toilet itself, for which the interior of the oval is silicone, which allows a softer landing, and also prevents the creaking that appears due to the ingress of grains of sand. Next, the connecting pipe is inserted, and the sole must be reached at the intended location. Then the sole can be baited on the bolts, which are then alternately and slowly clamped so that the ceramic base is not damaged. Bolts must be covered with plugs.

After this, the toilet bowl is installed, which is made without any special difficulties. In the opening for water, a gasket is installed, on which the tank is then put, after which it is possible to fasten the fixing bolts. It is possible to connect water.

When connecting the drain tank, it is necessary to provide a control valve that will be used for maintenance and repair.

It is worth saying that the installation of a hinged toilet can be significantly more difficult task. However, in this case there are the main points to which attention should be paid.

Now you know how to cope with such a difficult task without the help of a master.
