Choosing the toilet toilet

The fact is that, once among the beautifully arranged, sparkling toilet wide variety of manufacturers, is practically impossible to immediately decide on what to choose.

You can spend hours wandering among the ranks of white, pink, turquoise, gold-plated, and other items, we can say, daily necessities, sorting out the intricacies of fastening and construction of tanks, drainage system, to determine the form of the cup and the release of solving complex equations in his mind form "will become the model close to the wall, or will interfere in the passage," and etc.

But even if you take into account all the nuances and after lengthy reflection on the selected compact come to the conclusion that it This model is best suited to your bathroom, you have to be prepared for the fact that as a result you do not get exactly what for so long dreaming.

What follows from this conclusion?

Before the shopping trip, you should know exactly what it is looking for, so the family council to discuss key issues: 1) how to choose the toilet, suspended or floor? 2) how to choose a tank, zastenny or outdoor mounted directly on the toilet? 3) how the chosen model will fit into the space of a bathroom? Furthermore, decide what should be release into the sewer pipe (vertical - in a floor, horizontal - into the wall, at an angle of 90 °, or oblique - Soviet standard). But even if the model that you like, will release does not go where it is needed, the help of plastic pipe - adapter, bent at different angles. Thus, already having a clear idea of ​​what you want to install, you will turn the procedure of buying in a nice selection of colors and design.

Another question that is sure to arise when you select "other white" - to take the set complete or in parts. Experts advise to prefer factory-assembled devices that are ready for connection (fitting in the tank is installed and adjusted), and even passed the required verification test. Such toilets come in three variants:
- monoblock, wherein the tank and the toilet are integrally (but it is very expensive);
cistern beforehand connected to the base (sold in a packaging allowing them
easy to transport);
toilet separately, the tank separately (each in its packaging), and screwing them together should be on-site for future use.

Fixing the toilet

The choice is limited: either floor-standing version (you can use subtle eye fastening screws to the floor) or wall mounted WC with concealed cistern. The traditional version of the outdoor, we have thoroughly accustomed to, but the suspension structures cause justified doubts: not fall off it all after a while, it does not flow right?

Do not be afraid of the apparent fragility of such structures, they are able to withstand heavy loads. Thus, according to the norms, suspension structure is required to withstand up to 400 kg. For psychological reasons, suspended toilets do not yet have wide distribution in our country, but time does not stand still: the sellers say the annual increase in sales suspended plumbing.

Some of the benefits of suspended models are obvious. For example, it is clear at a glance that bathrooms with hanging fixtures inherent certain lightness and ease "floating" effect. And because the floor space not occupied by equipment, the room looks more spacious. Very winning tile pattern which is easily visible on the floor and walls. Behind the wall are all pipe connections, shut-off valves, and place a CD takes much less. Hostess necessarily note this important detail: in a suspended toilet bowl is much easier to care for.

Depending on the performance class, suspension system costs from $ 300 (when using special clips, which you can hang the toilet bowl and tank - cheaper).

washout

The water from the toilet tank can flow into the bowl or directly, without changing the direction of flow (direct washout), or, passing through special channels, changing the direction of flow in the opposite (reverse wash). Straight flush is typical for domestic products. He is the originator of the unpleasant and uncomfortable splashing noise.
Imported models tend to have a reverse (circular) flush. In this half-open shell itself feeds its surface designed in such a way that the water jet is not only smoothly along the arc, unfolded, but even with the minimum force distributed over the surface of the bowl, treating all its square. As a result, erosion occurs more reliably and with less spent on the matter of water.

Moreover, you will difficult task of choosing between the "cascade flush" when the water is evenly washes the bowl along its inner surface, and "per capita flush "in which water flows are directed along the perimeter of the bowl at a certain angle and tight jet as it creates a funnel, swirl, knocking down all surfaces with toilet superfluous.

It goes without saying that the spray in this case is practically absent, and the noise is annoying. From the relatively complex design of imported sanitary ware and sanfarfor dependent and fairly high cost. If you still think that the price of Western compacts "bite" of the prestigious names and brands, then you are deeply mistaken. We have to pay for the high technology.

Indeed, the work to remove the contents of the bowl will be impeccable only if the surface of the finished product with high accuracy corresponding to calculated patterns. Indeed, even when only a deviation of 0.2-0.3 mm from the calculated trajectory substantially violated design characteristics of the water sprays and splashes generated, there is an additional noise. Add to this a perfectly smooth surface, which prevents the build-up all the excess (brushes off!) - and will very practical, comfortable, beautiful and, alas, expensive construction, which, of course, decorate your bathroom room.

Cistern

Unlike usual lever system of domestic bins, sanitary engineering has pushbutton drain. If the external tank (normal), the button is always located in the middle of his cap. If the tank is built (zastenny), place a button - on the wall.

Usually at each sink rate of about 5-6 liters of water, but there are economical system. In this case, the discharge button is divided into two halves, one half prozhimaete buttons - the usual amount of water is drained, the other - only half of the dose, i.e. 2 to 3 liters of water. By all accounts, this is enough to completely replace the fluid in the toilet bowl.

Button performs not only a decorative function and "regulates" the water flow. If suddenly goes down the drain device, the button is released, it is pushed into the hole and hand block can be easily removed. But, most importantly, after the repair detail simply falls back, without any additional installation space.

An important detail - flushing tank filling method, if water is supplied from below a little fountain, noise will be much less than in conventional lateral connection. Internal fittings are not noisy because the water like "twists" of special screws and smoothly flows into a tube. By the way, the Western European fittings cisterns completely plastic.

Undoubtedly, a great interest is zastennye tanks, yet little widespread in our country. Built tanks are of two types: for floor (without mounting frame) and suspension (with mounting frame) toilets. It is clear that before buying a wall-hung WC with concealed cistern to be determined, on any wall will be installed plumbing. Option two: either it is a solid brick or concrete wall or light partition of aerated concrete or gypsum board.

In the first case, a mounting frame to which the tank is installed. The lower part of the structure for added strength obkladyvayut bricks, top mount plasterboard, on top of which is laid tiles. To the toilet did not press on the tiles under the frame make a bookmark out of a wall material, and the tile is glued to it. After the completion of all construction works on sticking out of the wall frame studs hung toilet.

Actually zastenny tank resembles a conventional plastic canister with special holes for pipes and additional elements. A body made of heavy-duty polyethylene, equipped with special "ears" for wall mounting. "Ears" bolts are connected to the perforated plates, which, in turn, are fastened to the wall with screws. This entire assembly. Outside such tanks may have a foam coating that performs a function of protection against condensation and provides additional sound insulation.

The tank is connected to the toilet bowl through the discharge pipe, which has a rubber cuff with an inserted tube and a decorative rosette (it closes the connection point). After completion of construction works on the wall outside the set button to drain the water. No additional fasteners in this case is not required, because the entire burden falls on the toilet, standing on the floor.

In the second case, a mounting frame with a focus in the fall, which can be mounted on any wall - and on the concrete, and brick, and "weak." The frame is mounted to the floor at a distance from the wall, and special fasteners strengthen it still on top. The entire burden falls on the lower part of the structure, that is on the floor.
