Therefore, it is very important to install the floor drain well, and we need to replace it in time after the floor drain is broken. How should the bathroom floor drain be replaced? What? Let me give you a detailed introduction to the method of replacing the bathroom floor drain, as well as the precautions for the installation of the floor drain.
How to replace the bathroom floor drain
1. Before replacing the floor drain, you need to pay attention to the basic information such as the panel and size specifications of the old floor drain currently in use. The most used in the home bathroom is a 10*10cm square floor drain, and there are also 12cm round floor drains; The diameter of the water pipe is 50mm. Note that the size of the floor panel to be replaced should be consistent with the size of the old floor drain;
2. Use a screwdriver or other tools to slowly separate the joints between the old floor drain panel and the tiles, lift up the cement around the floor drain with a flat-head screw, and then tap the floor drain with a small hammer to separate it from the cement; The cement layer around the old floor drain pit is cleaned up, and the drain pipe needs to be temporarily plugged to prevent debris from falling into the drain pipe;
3. After cleaning, scrape the cement putty around the pit wall; scrape the cement putty around the back of the new floor drain that needs to be replaced to make it firmly bonded to the ground, and remove the excess cement dining area to clean up the ground garbage. Before installing a new floor drain, it is necessary to take out the deodorant core to prevent cement sand and other creations from entering the core and affect the use effect; the newly replaced floor drain panel should be aligned with the tiles, and the height should not be higher than the tiles. Apply glass glue or white cement around and let it dry Dry; after installation, install the deodorant core of the floor drain and put on the grate; it is recommended to take out the deodorant core and clean it once a month or so, for better use effect.
The following points should be paid attention to when installing the floor drain:
1. The floor drain core must be taken out before the floor drain is installed, so as to prevent debris from falling into the floor drain core and causing damage;
2. The purpose of installing the floor drain is to drain water, so the installation position of the floor drain should be slightly lower than the ground to facilitate drainage. Before the floor drain is installed, if the drain pipe is too close to the ground, the drain pipe should be shortened appropriately, so as to ensure that the panel of the installed floor drain is slightly lower than the ground.
3. In order to ensure that the overall decoration effect is not damaged, the installation position of the floor drain should not be too much lower than the ground. Therefore, if the drain pipe is too far from the ground, it should be filled with cement mortar, so that the purpose of heightening the drain pipe can be achieved. The floor drain After installation, the most perfect decorative effect can be guaranteed.
4. When installing the floor drain, in order to prevent objects such as tools from falling into the drain pipe and cause blockage, the drain pipe should be blocked with cloth or other soft objects in advance, and only taken out when the floor drain core is installed.
5. The installation of the floor drain should take into account the convenience of maintenance in the future. Therefore, when filling the cement mortar, the floor drain cannot be used directly, but kraft paper or other firm materials are rolled into a cylinder that matches the downpipe, and the downpipe is docked. Raised above the ground and then filled with cement mortar.
6. The floor drain is connected to the sewer pipe and is higher than the ground. Fill the well-mixed cement mortar (1:1) into the surrounding space, adjust the height of the floor drain panel to a suitable position, and after the cement mortar solidifies, put the floor drain into the In the pipe formed by it, it fits closely with the pipe wall.
7. If the floor drain is used by the washing machine, you can choose a special washing machine floor drain or connector, of course, you can also use an ordinary floor drain directly, just insert the drain pipe sleeve on the fixed pin on the upper part of the floor drain, it is only practical And convenience is not as good as the former two.
