Toilet bowl distance, I believe most people are unfamiliar with this term. But if you plan to install a new toilet at home, you must pay attention. Generally speaking, the toilet bowl distance refers to the distance from the sewer pipe inside the toilet to the wall, but the sewer pipe is generally curved. In real life, this shape is extremely inconvenient to measure, so usually the sewer pipe is used to measure The distance from the center of the toilet to the wall, and this distance is also the distance between the toilet and the toilet.
Under normal circumstances, toilets are divided into horizontal and floor toilets. The horizontal toilet can only be installed with flush toilets. Due to the difference in pipeline structure, flush toilets or siphon toilets can be selected for floor toilets. The barrel spacing of the horizontal row is generally 180mm, and there are many options for the barrel spacing of the ground row, such as 300mm, 350mm, 400mm, 450mm, 580mm and so on. Therefore, before choosing a suitable toilet, measure the distance between the toilet and the toilet.
How to measure toilet bowl distance:
As shown in the figure, the distance from the middle of the drainpipe to the wall is the barrel distance, and the measurement method for horizontal and vertical rows is the same. What needs to be reminded is that if you plan to install tiles in the toilet, you should first install the tiles and then choose a suitable toilet for installation, because the thickness of the tiles will directly affect the measurement of the distance between the toilets.
Generally speaking, if the manufacturer’s toilet shows a 400mm bucket spacing, it is basically a 380mm bucket spacing, because the manufacturer has reserved 20mm for the tile thickness very intimately. But if the measured value is 370mm, don’t worry, because the diameter of the toilet outlet is 70mm, and the diameter of the sewer pipe is generally 110mm, and the distance in the middle can be adjusted by 40mm.
Toilet installation method:
1. Observe the sewage pipes, check the levelness of the ground, especially pay attention to check whether the sewage pipes are blocked by foreign objects and whether the ground is level.
2. Turn over the toilet, determine the center of the sewage pipe, and extend the center line.
3. Hold down the toilet, align its sewage outlet with the sewage outlet on the ground, press the sealing ring as tight as possible, and install the anchor screws and decorative caps on the premise of keeping it stable.
4. Pay attention to the bottom seal. The seal ring can be installed on the toilet sewage outlet, or it can be pasted around with 1:3 cement mortar.
5. Install the angle valve and connecting hose, and then connect the water inlet valve to connect to the water source.
6. Check the results, pay attention to check the tightness of the water inlet valve and toilet, and the drainage of the drain valve.
Finally, I would like to give you a small suggestion for choosing a toilet: under normal circumstances, the flushing toilet is noisy and easy to smell, so when you choose a toilet, it is best to choose a siphon toilet because it has a good mute effect , high water seal, not easy to off-flavor.
To sum up, the distance between the toilet and the toilet is one of the factors that determine the success of the toilet installation, so please prepare carefully before purchasing and installing the toilet to improve the success rate of the toilet installation.
