When choosing a toilet, the color should be consistent with the overall tone of the washbasin and toilet. In addition, when installing, be sure to measure the pit distance, the error should not exceed 1 cm, otherwise it will not be able to install. Let’s see what the toilet installation tips and precautions are.
Pay attention to check whether the return curve is glazed
After selecting the appearance of your favorite toilet, you must not be confused by the fancy style of the toilet. The most important thing is to see the quality of the toilet. The glaze of the toilet should be smooth and smooth, with no obvious defects, no needle eyes, lack of glaze phenomenon, clear trademarks, complete accessories, and no deformation in shape. In order to save costs, many toilets have no glaze in the return bend, and some use small elasticity and poor sealing performance. This kind of toilet is easy to scale blockage, also easy to leak. So, when buying, put your hand into the smudge of the toilet and touch the inside to see if it is smooth.
In terms of flushing mode, the toilet on the market now can be divided into siphon type and open flush type (that is, straight flush type) two, but at present mainly to siphon type. The siphon toilet flushes and siphons at the same time, allowing the dirt to be quickly discharged. And straight flush toilet water pipe diameter is large, the larger dirt easy to wash down. They all have their pros and cons, so you should consider the actual situation when purchasing.
After receiving the goods face to face acceptance, installation will begin
Toilet factory should go through strict quality inspection, such as water testing, visual appearance, etc., can be sold on the market products are generally qualified, but remember, no matter how big the brand, also in front of the merchants to open the box inspection, check whether there are obvious defects and bruises, each part of whether there is color difference.
Check to adjust the ground level
After buying a toilet of the same wall distance and sealing cushion, you can begin to install it. Before installing the toilet, the sewage pipe should be comprehensively inspected to see whether there is mud, sand, waste paper and other debris blocked in the pipe. At the same time, check whether the floor of the toilet mounting position is level. If the floor is uneven, the floor should be levelled when installing the toilet bowl. Cut down the nozzle and make it as high as 2mm-5mm above the ground as possible.
Check whether there is leakage after commissioning and installing water tank fittings
First check the water supply pipe, drain water for 3-5 minutes to flush the pipe, to ensure the clean water supply pipe; Then install the Angle valve and connect the hose, and connect the hose to the water supply valve of the installed water tank fittings. Check whether the water supply and seal of the water supply valve are normal, and whether the installation position of the drainage valve is flexible or not.
Finally, test the sewage effect of the toilet, the method is to install the accessories in the tank, fill with water, try the toilet flush, if the water vortex is very urgent and flushed quickly, that the water is smooth, on the contrary, to check whether there is blockage.
Measuring pit spacing is convenient for installation
In addition, the pit distance must be measured when installing. The error between the pit and the center of the water outlet and the wall behind the tank should not exceed 1 cm, otherwise the toilet cannot be installed. The pit distance of the lower drainage means the distance between the center point of the lower water hole and the undecorated wall. After drainage, it is necessary to measure the ground distance (refers to the distance from the center of the drainage hole to the finished ground). Toilet pit distance is generally 300mm and 400mm two, now on the market also have 350mm. If you want to know the specific distance, take the horizontal and longitudinal measurement from the side of the toilet wall to the center of the sewer pipe as the basis to know the specific data.
Professional reminder
When installing the toilet, do not pour cement mortar into the front cavity of the toilet or other cavity parts, so as not to crack the toilet due to cement condensation expansion.
The toilet can not be used in the environment below zero degree Celsius, or the water will freeze and expand and break the ceramic body. Do not hit the ceramic with hard objects to prevent damage and water leakage. In order to keep the product surface clean, the application of nylon brush and special cleaning agent cleaning, it is strictly prohibited to use steel brush and strong organic solution, so as not to destroy the product enamel, erosion pipeline.
The low height of the water seal at the bottom of the toilet may cause resmell in the toilet and affect health. If it is too high, the water is easy to splash up, so the manufacturer should adjust the water seal to the right position according to the height of personal needs. If the toilet to buy back pit distance is wrong, the decoration team will pad a high, do a guide sink, and then do waterproof; Or buy a drain converter accessory connection. However, any change in the abnormal installation will destroy the vacuum suction of the toilet, and affect the original blowdown speed and odor-proof effect. If the toilet and the drain do not match, it is best to ask the dealer to replace it with a suitable one. If a second toilet needs to be drained, or if an existing toilet needs to be moved, the floor must be raised so that the horizontal running of the pipe has a slope, which makes it easier to wash away dirt when used. But try not to move the position of the toilet, otherwise it is easy to cause blockage.
The above is about the toilet installation skills and precautions have what introduction, if you still can’t, then find a professional to help!
