Installing a toilet can be something you can do on your own, as it's not a difficult job, but it still needs to be figured out.
First you need to dismantle the old toilet, while it is important to remember that you should first turn off the water supply to the tank, and in the absence of a separate tap - to the entire apartment. After that, it is important to drain the water that is already in the tank. Next, the hose that supplies water to it must be disconnected, and then the tank itself. This is usually done very simply, if the fasteners are not stuck tightly, otherwise a grinder may come in handy, with which they can be cut off. After that, you can dismantle the toilet itself. Usually they are fixed to the floor with anchor bolts that hold the sole. Bulgarian cancome in handy here, to get rid of them. However, toilet installation cannot be started immediately after this.
Now you have to replace the cast iron insert that is in the pipe. To do this, you need to clean the glass of gasket materials, after which you need to try to loosen the insert. This is quite difficult, but without this it will not be possible to install a toilet bowl. There will be no problems if a plastic insert is used, however, they are not found in old houses, so you should be prepared for difficulties.
The toilet bowl is installed on a flat surface, which can be a cement screed or ceramic tile. The toilet bowl is installed in the planned place, after which they usually try to put the corrugation on the drain neck and insert it into the sewer. Next, you should check whether the device will slide off the neck.
If everything is fine, then with a marker or pencil mark the places for the dowels, be sure to circle the sole of the toilet bowl with a marker. Next, you can drill holes for the dowels, and then insert them.
Now you can install the toilet itself, for which silicone is passed along the inside of the oval, which allows for a softer landing, and also prevents creaking due to grains of sand. Next, a connecting pipe is inserted, and the sole needs to get to the intended place. Then the sole can be baited onto the bolts, which are then tightened alternately and slowly so that the ceramic base is not damaged. Bolts must be closedplugs.
After that, the toilet cistern is installed, which is done without much difficulty. A gasket is installed in the water opening, on which the tank is then placed, after which the fixing bolts can be screwed. You can connect water.
When connecting the drain tank, it is necessary to provide a control valve that will be used for maintenance and repair.
It should be said that installing a wall-mounted toilet can be a much more difficult task. However, in this case, there are key points that should be noted.
Now you know how to cope with such a difficult task without the help of a wizard.
