Do It Yourself Educational Program / / December 19, 2019
1. Prepare materials and tools
You will need:
- toilet with tank and valves;
- fixing set and flexible hoses;
- eccentric sleeve or corrugation;
- transition collar 123 × 110 mm (for the connection to a cast iron funnel);
- a gas burner or a building dryer (to disconnect the iron pipe);
- tile adhesive or remsostav (for sealing the hole in the floor);
- Hammer or percussion drill;
- Concrete drill diameter of 8 or 10 mm;
- a drill on the tiles 8 or 10 mm;
- set of wrenches and a hacksaw;
- hammer and dowels;
- measuring tape and a marker;
- a screwdriver and a knife;
- silicone sealant and rags;
- bucket and sponge;
- universal grease WD-40 or equivalent (if necessary).
2. Remove the old toilet
If you are installing a new toilet, but do not change - go to the next step.
Shut off valve at the inlet to the reservoir, or (if not) the crane at the entrance to the apartment. Remove the flexible liner, and then press the push button. Type in a bucket of water and pour it sharply into the toilet to rinse down the drain remnants of impurities inside the siphon. Using sponges remove water from the bowl.
Unscrew the fastening screws of the toilet, which he bolted to the floor. With a sharp knife trim the sealant around the perimeter of the base of the bowl. Remove the corrugation with the release of the siphon and move the toilet. A bell sewer plug pack or rag smell did not penetrate into the room.
If the plumbing is very old, the dismantling process will be more difficult. First unscrew bolts, sprinkled their WD-40, if necessary. Then screwdriver crumble cement coining perimeter iron sewer pipe preheated burner or its hairdryer construction, and remove the toilet.
Sometimes it is easier to split an ancient plumbing hammer or a hammer, and then remove the debris from the sewer pipe. Having decided on drastic measures, be sure to wear safety glasses.
Knock out hammer and a wooden stand remove any debris. With repair or tile adhesive composition to fill the recess and wait 6-12 hours until complete solidification.
3. Assemble rebar tank
Unpack the toilet and read the instructions carefully. Lay out all the parts from the cardboard boxes to avoid scratching floor tiles. Wear on the thread of the drain and water inlet valve cone gasket narrow portion toward the holes.
Install the valve into place and tighten the plastic nut by hand and then another quarter turn with a wrench. Make sure the drain valve does not touch the walls of the tank (otherwise the float will stall and will not block the water during filling). To do this, check the progress of your hand or turn the tank.
4. Place the tank on the bowl
Put the largest rubber pad on the shelf the toilet and put on top of the tank by aligning the mounting holes. Fit the bolts taper washers narrow side facing down, and insert the fasteners into the holes.
Install the bottom plastic and metal washers, and then tighten the nuts evenly by hand to a tank stood at an angle. Put the lid on the tank, insert and tighten the hand of the flush button.
5. Try to place the toilet
Next, decide on the location of the new bowl. Move the cup in place, try to sit down. For maximum space savings can be pressed against the wall, but not too close - it is desirable to leave between it and the reservoir gap of 2-3 cm.
Align the drain with a bell sewer. If you are using to connect straight pipe, measure tape and cut the desired fragment. Remove burrs at the edge of a knife. If you are using corrugated or eccentric collar - Try as they grow.
6. Plumbed
Remove from the sewage drain bag or cloth. Lubricate the sealing ring in the socket soap or cleanser and insert the tube, and then it - the toilet drain. Corrugation or eccentric collar set in the same way.
On the old sewer iron pre-purified insert into the socket and lubricated sealant special adapter sleeve diameter 123 × 110 mm. For reliability can be further fluff silicone joint plastic tube with a cuff.
7. Attach the toilet to the floor
Slide the cup on the space provided and select the marker on the floor mounting holes. If the toilet hidden arms, circle the lower part of the perimeter, and then measure the desired distance from the edges of the drawing in accordance with the instructions.
Drill holes in the floor. First, the tile using special drill ceramic, and then concrete - an appropriate drill. Remove dust and insert the dowels in holes.
Apply silicone snake on the perimeter of the bowl before reaching the edge of 2-3 cm, and wait about 20 minutes until it hardens slightly.
Then install the plumbing in place, and putting on the fastening screws, plastic washers, tighten their key. Do not overdo it, so that ceramics is not broke - it is better to tighten fasteners as needed later. Put decorative caps on the bolt head.
Fill the bowl with the tile joint using sealant. Remove excess with a finger or a cloth and allow to dry. It is better to use the transparent silicone as yellow and white gets dirty over time.
If the tiles are under the pipe underfloor heating or it is impossible to drill tiles for other reasons, you can simply paste the toilet to silicone.
To this end, the surface must be perfectly flat, clean and dry, and before you start using a new plumbing need to wait at least a day before complete solidification of the sealant.
8. Connect to the water supply
With flexibles connect the inlet valve fitting with a crane next to a tank. Place the hose so as to avoid kinks and tension. Tighten the nut wrench, but not very much - they pressed a rubber gasket.
9. Install the toilet seat
Collect hardware cover. If fixtures have labels "left" and "right" not to be confused. Insert the rubber grommets into the holes, set the top eccentric and adjust the distance between the two holes on the toilet seat width.
Tighten the bottom fastening bolts with plastic washers. Put the laths on the rubber part of eccentrics and set them cover until it clicks.
10. Check all connections
Open the tap of a tank, wait until it is full, and make sure that the valve shuts off the water supply. Press the flush button. Make sure that no leak on nuts flexibles and a drain pipe connection or panels and output drain.
