To avoid various kinds of problems when installing mounted sanitary equipment, you need to know how to choose the installation for the toilet. The assortment of installations is large and an ignorant person can get confused in a variety of models very quickly. Each has its own characteristics and characteristics associated with both the design and installation method, and with the manufacturing company.

How to choose the installation for the toilet of the desired type and size

What is the installation and what is its structure

Installation is a special installation design that, with the help of its elements, allows you to mount a hanging toilet, urinal, bidet or sink on the outer surface of the wall. In this case, the entire technical filling will be hidden in the thickness of the wall. On the outer surface of the wall will be displayed only controls. By removing the controls you can always get access to the internal details of the installation system.

Toilet installation device
The device of the standard frame installation: 1 - Stud for attaching the frame to the wall; 2 - flush button; 3 - flushing tank; 4 - Frame; 5 - a drain pipe; 6 - Stud for fastening the toilet; 7 - drain outlet; 8 - Fixing to the floor.

Type of construction and mounting method

The type of installation system and how it is mounted depends on where you can transfer the entire weight of the structure.

Block Installation Systems

If you have the opportunity to attach the installation to the main wall, then you need a block installation system. Such a system is attached directly to the wall with anchor bolts and is in a suspended state.

Block installation

Frame installation systems

These are more complex systems that are installed on the floor. Therefore, the entire load in this case will not be transmitted to the wall, but to the floor. This allows the use of such frames in various false walls and hollow partitions made of drywall. In addition, such systems allow you to adjust the height of the device within 20 cm, which is very convenient, because it makes it possible to install the toilet at the required distance.

Framework installation

Selection considerations related to installation location and installation size

Before proceeding with the selection of a specific installation model in a store, it is imperative to find out where it will be installed.

Conventionally, the following installation sizes can be distinguished:

  • Standard;
  • Low
  • Two-way;
  • Corner
  • For installation in line.

Standard installation - suitable for indoor installation with no size limit

The standard installation for the toilet is suitable when there are no restrictions on the overall dimensions and installation depth in the room or near the bathroom. As a rule, it has the following dimensions (+/-): a width of 50 cm, an installation depth of 12 cm and an installation height of 112 cm. It is most often used in standard apartments with small bathrooms. In this case, there is no need to pay attention to the overall dimensions of the installation. You can see the photo of the standard size installation above, where we examined the installation device.

Low installation - height limited installation

In some types of apartment buildings or other premises, it becomes necessary to install an installation with a height restriction. Most often this is due to the low window sill, when installed under the window or the design features of the room. In this case, most manufacturers produce special, "stunted" frames, the height of which is not more than 82 cm.Thanks to this parameter, you can use installations for the toilet even in all kinds of difficult cases, with a lack of free space.

Low installation

Two-way installation system

Often in shopping centers, office buildings, the installation of bilateral installations is required. For this case, most manufacturers also have a solution in store - integrated design systems. The bowls themselves are located on different sides.

Corner installation

Difficulties often arise when you need to install a toilet in a corner of the room. There are two ways to resolve this situation: use a special corner-type mount or purchase special corner modules.

Corner installation

For installation in line

Sometimes on one wall it is necessary to combine several plumbing fixtures. For example, in addition to a wall-mounted toilet, a bidet and / or urinal should be fixed and all this should be placed in one line. For these purposes, there are also special installation systems.

Since the choice of devices of this type is very large today, there are usually no problems when choosing a specific design. It is only necessary to try to take into account all the possible features of the installation of devices of this type. This will greatly reduce the time required for this process, as well as avoid various kinds of problems.

Governing bodies and a complete set

When you decide on the type and design of the installation, you need to carefully look at the model in the store.

The following important design features should be noted:

  • governing bodies;
  • equipment.

Many potential buyers evaluate controls only from an aesthetic point of view - which is not entirely true. Of course, it is necessary that they fit into the interior of the sanitary unit as ergonomically as possible. But it is equally important to make sure that, if necessary, it will be possible to easily access various controls. Since everything tends to break and disassemble a tiled wall it will be extremely inconvenient.

Flush Button - Varieties

Another important factor that you should definitely pay attention to is the execution of the flush button.

The following modifications to this device are available:

  • dual-mode;
  • equipped with a flush-stop system;
  • contactless.

More simple to operate, as well as repair, are the dual-mode and flush-stop buttons. When installing them, there is no need to supply electricity or install batteries. Also, due to the simplicity of their device, these buttons are more reliable.

Contactless buttons are equipped with a special sensitive sensor. It records the presence or absence of a person near the toilet. Based on the information received, the water drain is turned on or off. Buttons of this type are more difficult to install and configure. Also, their cost is very different to a larger extent from simpler models. But at the same time, contactless devices are more hygienic, comfortable to use. There is no need to touch any surface with your hand when draining water.

Another important advantage of the contactless button is a stylish, modern design. Complete with many installations are controls that do not protrude above the surface of the wall. Nevertheless, the choice of a particular modification is more a matter of taste and personal comfort.

Before purchasing, check the package contents.

It should include the following basic elements:

  • controls complete with a special unit;
  • supporting frame attached to the wall;
  • fasteners;
  • special adapter and drain tank;
  • sound insulation.

The absence of any individual elements leads to the need to visit the store again and additionally purchase the missing parts. The consequence is the loss of time and money. Also, the use of non-standard components can lead to difficulties during the installation process.That is why it is necessary when choosing the installation for the toilet must pay attention to the details that come with the kit.

Manufacturing firm

When choosing an installation, both for a suspended toilet and for other equipment, you must be as careful as possible to the manufacturer. Today, the market is filled with similar products represented by various brands. All of them have their own characteristics. But first of all, the cost depends on the brand. Each company’s products have their own characteristics related to both installation and design.

The following brands and models of installations are most popular today:

Manufacturing firmAverage price, thousand rublesMost popular modelCountry of origin
Grohe 15 Solido 5 in 1 Germany
Geberit 14 DuoFix Plattenbau Switzerland
Viega 10 Eco plus Germany
Ideal standard 10 W3710AA USA

The most expensive, but at the same time high-quality installations on the Russian market are Grohe (Germany) and Geberit (Switzerland). The cost of products from the first brand is slightly higher, while Geberit is usually somewhat cheaper. Despite the small difference in price, the products of the companies under consideration are comparable in quality.

The following main advantages of installations from these brands can be distinguished:

  • ease of installation;
  • long service life;
  • long warranty.

They also have their drawbacks:

  • high price;
  • some difficulties in acquiring parts.

But due to the long service life and high quality, both of these shortcomings come to naught. Since the probability of failure, in which there is a need to replace parts, is almost completely absent. If the customer’s budget is not limited, then when choosing an installation, you should pay attention primarily to Grohe and Geberit.

No less popular, but at the same time cheaper, are products from Viega (Germany) and Ideal Standard (USA).

The installations sold under these brands have the following advantages:

  • low price;
  • a variety of different designs.

It is due to a slightly lower price that these companies captured a rather substantial segment of the equipment market of the type in question. That is why the models from Viega and Ideal Standart should take a closer look, first of all, those whose budget is small. Despite the lower cost, the products of these brands have quite decent quality.

In order to decide which installation for a toilet to choose, it is necessary to take into account many different nuances. That is why it is best to consult first with an experienced plumber with extensive experience in such work - this will avoid all kinds of problems during the installation process.
