The concealed toilet, also known as the “wall-hung unit” or suspended toilet, is a modern option that combines aesthetics and functionality. It is installed within the wall to give the bathroom an elegant appearance and additional space. In this article, we will explain the steps for installing and setting up a concealed toilet to ensure proper execution.
Preparing the Wall-Hung Toilet Frame Before Installation
Before beginning the wall-hung toilet installation process, a double wall must be built with a 3 cm gap between the two walls. The opening dimensions should be 70×120 cm to accommodate the thickness or depth of the flush tank frame.
Opening the Package and Verifying Components
When opening the unit package, it is important to verify all components and ensure they are complete. We then begin by installing the main brackets, first securing the flush pipe bracket in place, followed by installing the load-bearing bolts that will be used later to support the toilet.
Protecting Components During the Construction Phase
It is also advisable to protect the components during the construction phase by using protective covers on the bolts and fixed components to ensure they remain clean and intact until finishing work is completed. A protective cover should also be placed on the water discharge outlet.
Connecting the Water Supply
During the water supply connection phase, we open the side water supply opening, which is considered the optimal method to facilitate future maintenance.
Installing the Central Discharge Elbow
The central discharge elbow is installed on the drainage pipes, ensuring it is properly secured to avoid any leaks.
Determining the Correct Height for the Wall-Hung Toilet
As for determining the correct toilet height, there is a standard marking on the unit frame that must align with the tile level determined by the specialist technician. After adjusting the markings, the wall-hung unit is secured in place and leveled using a spirit level.
Securing the Wall-Hung Toilet Installation and Completing the First Phase
During the securing phase, mounting locations are drilled and anchors are placed, then the unit is hung and verified to be level and aligned with the correct marking. Next, the central discharge elbow bracket is securely fastened and its protective cover is placed, followed by installing and securing the upper brackets in the same manner.
Final Steps Before Finishing
Before moving to the finishing phase, we prepare the water supply pipe and insert it into its place within the unit, then close the frame with a special cover to keep it clean until finishing work is completed.
Inspection and Documentation
Finally, after completing all steps, we inspect the unit to verify proper installation and document the work in an acceptance form to ensure the work is executed according to required standards.
In Conclusion
By following these steps, the wall-hung toilet unit can be installed professionally, ensuring high performance efficiency and durability that lasts for years.
