FRP sanitary ware is made of thermosetting unsaturated polyester resin or epoxy resin as bonding material, glass fiber and fabric as reinforcing material, and is made by hand lay-up, spraying into models and compression molding. It has comfortable body feeling and high strength. , Small weight, water and heat resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, durable, convenient installation and transportation, simple maintenance and so on.
Marble uses unsaturated polyester resin as adhesive, stone powder and stone slag as filler, when the unsaturated polyester resin bonds the stone slag and stone powder evenly and firmly during the curing process, it has beautiful appearance, smooth surface, Small deformation, acid and alkali resistance, stain resistance and other characteristics.
The three types of toilets are different in terms of occupied space, scope of application, and price. They each have their own advantages and disadvantages. Consumers can make reasonable choices according to their own needs when purchasing.

3. Specifications for the method of installing the toilet
1. Installation of toilet drain pipe
The sewage outlet of the one-piece toilet has a connecting flange. After leveling the connecting flange to the outlet of the drain pipe, mark the position of the bolt hole of the flange on the ground, plant a wooden needle or plastic expansion pipe, and place it on the outlet of the drain pipe. Make a circle of putty, bury the connecting flange in the ground and level it on the oil hair ring, and fix the connecting flange on the ground with countersunk head wood screws. After fixing, use a rubber pad and two M10 bolts to fix the toilet to the connecting flange at the junction. Special attention should be paid to the fact that when installing a one-piece toilet, there are certain requirements for the drain pipe. The reserved drain pipe opening should be 20mm below the ground (allowable deviation 5mm), which is convenient for the connection between the flange and the drain pipe opening. with fixed.
2. Toilet water supply (inlet) water pipe connection
The height of the angle valve installed on the water supply pipe is generally 250mm from the ground to the center of the angle valve. If a one-piece toilet is installed, it should be determined according to the height of the water inlet of the toilet from the ground, but not less than 100mm. The center of the angle valve of the water supply pipe is generally on the left of the center of the sewage pipe. 150mm from the side or according to the actual size of the toilet.
