There may be several reasons for replacing the toilet. Personally, we change due to the fact that we decided to put water meters, and the toilet interferes, as the riser is partially built into the niche.
What you need to know to replace the toiletant yourself.
one. The choice of a new toilet should be made taking into account the type of sewage output and the size of the site on which the toilet will be located. I recommend this site to residents of Kyiv: here you can buy a variety of toilets
2. Before removing the toilet, close the water supply crane into the tank and drain the water from it.
3. For the installation of the toilet, we will need: a divorce wrench, drill, concrete drill, FUM tape for carvings, hammer, core, screwdriver with nozzles, corrugation for a sewer pipe.
four. Dismantling the old toilet, especially if it is an old toilet in Khrushchev, it may not be a simple matter. Rusty fasteners, not unscrewed. It may be easier to break the toilet into pieces.
5. The toilet is pre -installed in place. We note on the flooring a place for drilling for the fastening of the toilet.
6. If there is ceramic tiles on the floor, we deposit small holes in the place of drilling before drilling. Otherwise, the drill will “dance” on the tile.
7. We make holes with a drill on concrete, clog the dowel, slightly screw the mounting with bolts, but do not tighten.
eight. We fix the corrugation on the toilet pipe. With its help, you can change the distance from the wall to the toilet, as in our case. And change the angle of inclination.
9. We attach a flexible tube to a cold water pipe.
ten. By installing the toilet in place, first we fasten the corrugated pipe to the sewer. In no case do not sit the corrugation on glue.
eleven. We connect a tube with cold water.
12. Only after that we fix the bots on mounts.
13. We install the tank cover.
fourteen. Metal should in no case touch ceramics – this is important. Otherwise, ceramics can crack during twisting.
fifteen. Check the work of the toilet, test all places of the connection for leaks.
16. With the help of sealant, seal the gap between the toilet and the floor.
