Nowadays, decoration is popular to buy the main materials by itself. The owners who can do this should not only have free time to visit the building materials city, but also have certain professional decoration knowledge, otherwise the things they bought may not be usable, even if the difference is only 1 cm, it will cause damage. big trouble.
Buy a toilet to find out the drainage method and pit distance
A reader who was being renovated came to inquire: “My bathroom is drained, and the distance between the center of the drain and the wall without tiles is 37 to 38 cm. What size and style of toilet should I use?” The answer from the insider is : Optimistic about the brand, tell the dealer that your home is under-drainage, with a pit distance of 37 to 38 cm, and ask him to tell you what styles are available. In addition, the toilet pit distance of imported brands is generally 40 cm or 30.5 cm. Domestic brands have more complete specifications, and you can buy a pit distance of 35 cm.
In addition to the brand, color, and style when buying a toilet, two keywords that are more noteworthy are: drainage method and pit distance. This is the key to whether you can buy a toilet that matches your own situation.
Toilets with rear drainage and lower drainage cannot be mixed
Before going out, the most critical question is to understand the drainage method of your own bathroom: the drainage hole is on the ground, which is the bottom drainage, and the drainage hole is on the back side wall, which is the rear drainage. This is very important. Each toilet is specially designed for different drainage methods and cannot be mixed. Generally, the sales staff in the building materials city will take the initiative to ask which drainage method to buy. If you don’t know, you must call and ask your own decoration workers.
Measure the pit distance, the error should not exceed 1 cm
The pit distance of the lower drainage method refers to the distance between the center point of the ground water hole and the undecorated wall. For the post-drainage method, the ground distance should be measured, which refers to the distance from the center of the drainage hole to the finished ground. Be sure to be accurate when measuring. Industry insiders remind that the general installation of the toilet is carried out after the wall and floor construction is completed. The error between the requirement and the measurement should not exceed 1 cm, otherwise it cannot be installed normally.
Buying a house, buying a house, decorating forums, and real estate forums. If the decoration team suggests raising a block, making a water guide, and then waterproofing; or buying a drainage converter to connect accessories, it is best not to adopt the suggestion that can make do with it. It is not a normal installation, and any change will destroy the vacuum suction of the toilet, affecting the original sewage discharge speed and odor isolation effect. If the toilet and the drain hole you bought really don’t match, even if it takes some effort, it’s best to ask the dealer to replace it with a suitable one.
Install with expansion bolts instead of cement
Read the instructions carefully before installing the toilet, and construct according to the requirements. The “Construction Specifications for Residential Decoration and Renovation Projects” stipulates that sanitary ware must be tightly connected with water inlet pipes and sewage outlets without leakage. The toilet should be fixed and installed with expansion bolts and sealed with oil lime or silicone glue. Cement mortar fixed. This not only avoids the situation of toilet cracks caused by dry cement, but also facilitates maintenance in case of problems in the future.
Siphon toilet saves more water
From the perspective of flushing methods, toilets can be roughly divided into: flush type (ordinary flush) and siphon type. The difference between the siphon type and the ordinary flushing method is that it flushes water while achieving a siphon effect through a special curved pipe to quickly discharge the dirt. The siphon type is divided into a wash-down type, a vortex type, a jet type, and the like. The siphon vortex type and jet type are equipped with a special water inlet channel, and the water in the water tank flows into the toilet under the horizontal surface, thereby eliminating the noise caused by the impact of air in the pipe and the water falling when the water tank is fed into the water tank. That is, the “silent toilet” currently on the market. The siphon jet has a unique water nozzle, which can spray powerful water to make the flushing effect better.
Finally, test the sewage discharge effect of the toilet. The method is to install the accessories in the water tank, fill it with water, put a piece of toilet paper in the toilet and drop a drop of ink. Once discharged without leaving traces, it means that the water is unobstructed.
