There are many problems in installing a toilet. Knowledge, as long as you understand some decoration knowledge, you will be less likely to be fooled by the decoration team. So today I am here to introduce you to the steps of toilet installation. As common sense in life, you should not miss it. Especially friends who are planning to renovate recently should study it carefully. Okay, without further ado, I will come here. Let me give you a good introduction.

How to install a toilet

Step 1:

Before choosing a toilet, first determine the size of your toilet drain, that is, the distance between the drain outlet and the wall ?(The standard is only 300 and 400 mm).

Then choose the style you like according to the size. Pay attention to choose the water-saving type (3-6 liters). When ordering, you must check the model and place of origin. Nowadays, there is a mixed bag of products. There is no regret in shopping around. choice.

Before installing the toilet, make sure that the product you choose, the accessories, and the instructions are complete. Read the instructions carefully to understand some product matters to prevent cheating or cutting corners. Remember this.

Step 2:

The installer is required to make the drain outlet smooth. A special flange for the toilet must be installed at the bottom outlet of the toilet, or glass glue should be applied evenly to the drain outlet. The bottom and sides are glued, the gap between the toilet and the wall is even, and the placement is straight and stable.

After the toilet is in place, it is required that there is no leakage of water, the water level is correct, the flushing is smooth, the switch is flexible, and the cover is stable.

Nowadays, it is generally not necessary to install anchor screws when installing a toilet, but the reserved holes in the toilet must be blocked with glass glue to prevent odor.

Step 3:

If you install anchor screws, first use the special sealant for toilet installation and apply it evenly 2CM around the drain outlet of the toilet base. The drain outlet should be facing the center of the drainage pipe. Draw the positions of the expansion plugs on the left and right sides of the toilet. Remove the toilet, drill holes, and bury the expansion plugs. Note that the newly drilled expansion plugs are pre-buried in the hole. , it is possible to break the waterproof layer. It is recommended to pour sealant around the hole while pre-embedding the expansion screws, and then bury the expansion plug. First, tighten the expansion plug, let the expansion plug completely release, and strengthen it. Pull force, then unscrew the upper screw, put the toilet in place, then directly tighten the screw and cap to maintain the overall appearance of the toilet. At the intersection between the toilet and the surface of the ground, because the toilet and the surface are not integrated, you can use caulking agent

Transparent sealant can be used to stir and seal the outer opening of the toilet to keep it in line. The integrity of the floor surface can also block local water accumulation around the toilet.

Step 4:

After the toilet is installed, the glass glue (putty) or cement mortar should be solidified before water can be released. The curing time is generally 24 hours. If you hire unprofessional people to install it, usually in order to save trouble, the construction workers will directly use cement as an adhesive. This is definitely not possible. In fact, there is a disadvantage in filling the fixed position of the lower mouth of the toilet. , the cement itself is expandable, and over time, this method may cause the base of the toilet to crack, making it inconvenient to repair.

Install or debug water tank accessories. First check the water pipe, flush the pipe with water for 3-5 minutes to ensure the cleanness of the water pipe; then install the angle valve and connecting hose, then connect the hose to the installed water tank accessory water inlet valve and press the water source to check the water inlet Check whether the water inlet and seal of the valve are normal, check whether the installation position of the drain valve is flexible and whether there is any obstruction or leakage, and check whether there is any leakage of the water inlet valve filter device.

Finally, I would like to tell you about the precautions when installing the toilet. During construction, some cement slurry will adhere, so it must be removed before the cement is dry, otherwise it will be difficult to remove later. In addition, you should always try to flush the water an hour after installation to ensure that the water pipes can drain properly and be smooth. The toilet cannot be used within three days after installation, otherwise it will affect its stability. That’s it for today about toilet installation.
