It is important to the quality of parts, frames fortress equipment. Do not like the frame, made rude and equipment on the cheap - for almost the same price you can have a different frame with expensive and precise components.
Choosing a constructive
For constructive all installations are divided into block and frame. Block cheaper, but much broader frame of application possibilities, especially in private homes.
The most popular among the users of our portal type of installations - frame mounts on the wall. But the owners of houses with large bathrooms often opt for self-supporting installation element with a reinforced fastening to the floor: it can be installed in any part of the bathroom, where it will be convenient to carry out sanitation and water. In zoning bathroom with the installation of the system do not have any sort of restrictions.

Head of training direction and presentation of the company Geberit
Self-supporting mounting element is attached only to the floor, it can be installed even in the middle of the room, or hide in the light barrier. Reliability The design provides a sturdy frame made of steel profiles 4 by 4 cm. Wall mounting is not required, the installation can withstand the same load as the design, which are attached to the walls of the capital.
Choosing a flushing system
Choosing the installation, perhaps the first of all need to pay attention to the components of the system. Its components:
- Pad with;
- outlet and inlet valves;
- a tank;
- tying.
In flush buttons dual functionality: it controls the descent of the water and hides behind a window Audit, which is used to repair the tank valve.
This explains its size, sometimes more than 20 cm in length and width.
That flush button determines the exterior and functionality of the system.
Buttons made of metal, glass or plastic. With some manufacturers flush panel suitable for all installations of the brand (just to match constructive), while others buttons are compatible with the modules only within a particular series.
All devices drain are divided into mechanical, pneumatic and electronic.
mechanical: arranged as in a conventional toilet: pusher acts on the transmission system and opens the valve.
Pneumatic: after clicking on the button from underneath the flexible container is displaced the compressed air pulse along the flexible tube is transmitted to the valve tank. The panel can be installed even at 2 meters from the toilet.

You push the piston, which in turn sends a portion of the air by a silicone tube to the mechanism of discharging water.
electronic with automatic drive. Flushing is turned on or by the user's hand approaching at a distance of 10 cm from the touch panel, or when a person comes out of the toilet room. The second option seems to be a piece of the movie about the future, but in reality it is not very convenient: to take advantage of a brush, it is necessary to go back to the bathroom. In addition, electronic flushing system the most expensive.
There drainage systems that save water:
- dual-mode - it is possible to choose all the water drained from the tank or half;
- with the option to "flush-stop" - If you press the button, and the flushing process will stop.
And there are models with continuous flushing, which can stop in the manual mode.
Very comfortable and so popular installation odor removal system with a switch on the flush button. The switch launches air exhaust system, it is cleared in the carbon filter and back into the room.
Sergey Kozhevnikov
In this model, the installation unpleasant smell is removed directly from the bowl. The air passes through a filtration system which is located in the key, and clears its special filter, and fresh air is returned back into the room. It is better that the toilet was rimless. To operate the system it is necessary to conduct electricity in our model electric box is in the configuration, it can be installed at a distance of 10 to 160 cm. Carbon or ceramic honeycomb filter can be replaced at the expiration of the service life.
Choosing a cistern
Cistern manufacturers all made of plastic, it may consist of one or two parts (solid or manufactured). Inside it is sanitary fittings, which provides automatic filling and flushing. Do not pay much attention to his appearance: he will still be hidden from view.
It is important to product quality and functionality:
- desirable to be able to draw water from various angles;
- It must be isolated from the condensate, or in the winter for zavedetsya lined mold;
- very important dimensions of the Audit window, they should be sufficient for inspection and repair.
Sergey Kozhevnikov
In our installations, tank made from a single piece of polyethylene, it is impossible to break even with a sledgehammer. Inside the tank there is no metal parts in contact with water, and it guarantees the absence of corrosion.
Cistern often becomes a concern of people who dream to establish an installation, but they are afraid of leaks. Says our expert, afraid of nothing.
Sergey Kozhevnikov
In our cisterns are no seams, and the discharge mechanism is provided with an emergency overflow with siphon effect. It diverts water into the sewer, even at maximum working pressure of water before the self-leveling.
There are models of installations without cistern - water for flushing comes directly from the pipes. The depth of such installations is less, but flush will always depend on the water pressure in the water. And while the pressure fluctuations in the system of cold water can cause discomfort and even burns, if this someone uses the shower.
Choosing quality mechanisms
Also, when choosing our installation expert recommends a closer look at the quality of tools and even the smallest details. Than they are stronger and better made, the longer it will last.
Sergey Kozhevnikov
Mechanisms should be easily removable, and their elements, even the smallest, such as cuff should be thought out, well made and be as durable, so they last a long time and nothing with them It happens. So, cuffs with special petals, making it easy to connect the pipes, and this is very important and will allow for high-quality and fast installation.
Choosing a reliable and space-saving
If the owners of country houses, did not hesitate recently in most cases choose the curtain plumber, then residents of apartments with typical small bathrooms separate ranges that the installation will eat it, and without that little space. But it turns out in fact that even the installation saves space!
Installing a suspended toilet takes up no more space than a squat toilet, and in some cases and less (due to the insertion of the mounting member in a sanitary mine).

We have eight years of the installation set, never broke into the apartment. At first it was a pity money for installation. But the situation was desperate: if to clean pipes in a box and put the system in the knees leaving the corridor. Over time, I evaluated all the pros, now the squat toilet is not even considered.
It is also the fact that in normal city apartments behind the toilet is a deep shaft with sewer and water pipes. Standard installation with fasteners 20 centimeters in length are not suitable here. On a conventional frame two holes for attachment to the rear wall, and it turns out that mounting studs abut just the chimney. We have to do something urgently, "collective farms": bend the pins, to invent some own designs.
Sergey Kozhevnikov
For the Russian market our company has developed a simple solution: the studs are elongated to 50 cm. This distance is enough for the deepest mines; and a special bracket has two upper mounting height and a longitudinal bore for fastening pins in different positions. This allows you to secure the studs where the pipes do not interfere.
Often refuse installations and large people with more weight: they simply do not believe that hanging toilet at all endure.

I hope you big people will not go to visit! Installing holds up to 110 kg and 125 kg, and I from this scheme refused.
From the point of view of our experts is committed unfounded fears (but only when you are dealing with good quality installations).
Sergey Kozhevnikov
Our embedded systems and any produced in Europe hanging toilet guaranteed to withstand a static load of 400 kg.
conclusions
Installation has long ceased to be a luxury, whim owner of the house or apartment. This is not just beautiful, it is functional and comfortable. If you do not make a mistake with the choice of the installation, it will greatly improve your comfort and quality of life.
Suspension plumbing really beats the usual for a number of parameters:
- it can be installed anywhere in the bathroom;
- Modern installation is easy and fast to install, do not require special skills or special tools;
- for service, installation and removal of the internal mechanisms do not have to disassemble the wall - everything is done through the window of a tank for the flush button;
- contrary to popular belief, the installation of the leading manufacturers not worth a lot of money: the installation kit with toilet costs about the same as a European type toilet CD. And, perhaps most importantly: hanging toilet is much easier to keep clean - once is enough to hold them under a cloth!
The only thing: when choosing the installation can not chase cheapness.
Save the built-in plumbing - how to save on the dentist, then still have to turn to the good and pay again.
Quality sanitary ware always easy to assemble, suitable for confined spaces, it is not satisfactory for use, is a decade and can easily withstand the weight of people under 400 kilograms.

Reliable installation do not break down over time not subside and will not change the geometry. If you suddenly have a desire to replace something inside, then break down the walls do not need all the details easily unscrewed and removed through the hatch button.
About cheap installation of this, unfortunately, can not say.
