If you are rapidly repaired in the apartment, the choice of the type of toilet formation is limited by the options for the mounted sewer system at home. But most often today you can meet the toilet bowls or horizontal release. There is another third option of toilet bowls - with a vertical release of the floor, but most likely it is relevant only for private houses or completely old residential buildings. In new buildings, the sewer under the toilet to the vertical release is no longer mounting.
It should be noted that Models of toilet bowls with vertical and horizontal releases refer to toilet bowls with straight plums. Consider the peculiarities of the toilet with the horizontal release due to their large propagation. Now, entitled "Direct" implies mainly toilet with a horizontal release. It is also worth mentioning here about the toilet of direct action with the release of Vario - This universal device can be used as vertical and horizontal release if necessary.
Device
The release of the toilet is called a hole with a hole, which must be connected to the docking clutch with the sewer pipeline. Usually, a tee that has its own pipe to which the toilet should be connected is already installed on the sewer in front of the toilet.
Modern toilet bowls, including with a horizontal release, have the same device: it is usually a compact toilet bowl having a ceramic bowl and fastening to its molding cover and a drain tank. Bach has:
- water supply hole from water supply;
- Power pipe, started in the overall drain channel;
- float;
- flap valve;
- Exhaust valve;
- Lever (button) washed.
The cup contains such devices:
- washing chute, connected to a tank drain channel and distributing water around the circle of the bowl;
- siphon;
- Graduation channel (nozzle).
The bowls themselves, except the output angle, differ in each other by the outer shape and the inner configuration of the shelf. Depending on the model, they are:
- Tarbed which are considered outdated and inesthetical;
- Visrats - with an inclined shelf (bias either forward or back);
- funnel-shaped - More modern options in which, in fact, the shelves are not at all - the feces fall immediately into the water (however, the "Anten Spex" system is relevant here.
Advantages and disadvantages
To the advantages of modeling models with horizontal (parallel sex) The release includes the following features and factors:
- Suitable even where it used to be a toilet with the release of oblique type (that is, there is universality);
- It is possible to connect not only to the horizontal pipe of the sewerage, but also directly to the vertical riser using adapters;
- Mounted close to the wall, without having an extra area;
- low cost;
- Wide range.
The disadvantages are also a lot:
- attachment of the installation site to one of the walls of the room - where the sewer pipeline passes;
- relative complexity of installation, especially in part of the connection to sewage;
- Careful sealing of places of connection of the release with the sewage main, the need to control at first after installation on the absence of leaks;
- Ability to clog the graduation channel.
What is the best way: direct or oblique?
It should be noted that Toilet bowls with oblique or horizontal output of exhaust pipes in most cases are interchangeable, so the difference between them is small. But if you transform a direct model into oblique is absolutely simple, then do it on the contrary - it is much more difficult. For this, it will have to organize an additional knee, which complicates the design of the release, as well as the already complex sealing process of the joints (in the additional knee of the highness of the residual standing of water).
Besides, It will not cost without changing the place of installation of the toilet in the event that the distance from the wall standing to this toilet with the horizontal release was minimal. We have to prepare a new platform for fastening the bowl to the floor. In modern technology for the construction of residential buildings, the sewage is mounted mainly under the toilet with oblique release. Although the popularity is gaining and other sewage location - under the toilet of horizontal release.
In any case, the ideal option of choice is the one in which the type of outlet release corresponds to the selection device of the sewage.
And if you compare the models among themselves, without taking into account their interchangeability, then The toilet with the oblique type of release is considered a more versatile system Since such a bowl can be connected to the sewage pipeline located with respect to it at an angle from 0 to 35 degrees. That is, some errors of the location of the sewage line are allowed, which is quite possible in the construction of high-rise buildings, when not everything turns out strictly on the project as a result of unplanned previous circumstances.
Besides, The process of installing a plumbing device with oblique release is simpler, which is explained by the lack of a strict point of its installation and connecting to sewage. This will not say about the analogue with a horizontal release - here the exhaust pipe must be with the connecting on the sewage strictly opposite each other.
It also matters and the fact that uncleanness is not delayed in the inclined release, and in direct horizontal, without a doubt, part of them remains on the walls, in the joints that over time leads to clogging and complete impassability of the pipeline. Direct type toilets often have to be disassembled in terms of release and clean.
Varieties
Toilets with horizontal release are produced in a wide variety of modifications. Let's call the main models at the installation site.
- Outdoor. Ordinary (everyone knows them) toilet bowls both today and in the last century. Mixed to the floor. Basically, compact toilet units are now installed.
- Suspended. These models are hung on the wall, have a high release and by the method of fastening are divided into frame and block systems. All communications (and in some cases tank) are hidden behind the rawfall or in a wall niche. Under such toileties it is convenient to clean up, as they hang over the floor.
- POINTS (WILL) . Evoid popular recently. They are tightly mounted on the wall, while all communications as well as the suspension models are hidden, and only the bowl remains outside. The difference from the suspended is that the bowl is not suspended, but is installed on the floor, as well as outdoor versions of the toilet bowls.
Thus, these models can be considered the same symbios of the first two - outdoor and suspended.
In the design of drain tanks, the toilets are divided into several varieties.
- With high drain. The tank is strengthened on the wall and has a drain pipeline. By itself, the archaic model is found in old houses, however, such models, but a little improved, can be found on sale. Sometimes they are used in modern homes, where the finish is designed in the so-called historical style. Pretty noisy design.
- With low plums. The standard drain system in which the plastic or ceramic tank is low attached to the toilet and has a short flush pipe.
- Hidden tanks. Embed into the wall and closed easily dismantled finish. Outside there is only a flush lever.
- Compact bathroom. The tank is attached to the bowl. The most common type of toilet bowl today.
All models whose tanks are attached to the wall, enter the group of suspended tanks.
Dimensions
Choosing a toilet for your home style, design or simply to the color of the tile, do not need to forget about its size relative to the area of the bathroom. It has an important meaning.
First, measure the depth of the room where the plumbing device will be installed, and divide this value in half - this will be the length of the horizon, or the border for which the toilet should not be taken. From here and you need to repel when the plumbing is selected. If the area of the toilet room is quite large, then about such measurers it is unlikely to think about such measurements, as you can choose not only a large toilet bowls, but also put near the bidet.
As for the height of the bowl, it all depends on personal preferences and especially from human growth. It is recommended to navigate on the most tall member of the family, since the children grow quickly, and the toilet is not put for one year. According to GOST, in domestic enterprises, the following in the following sizes are produced:
- For children's models - 33.5x40,5x29 cm;
- For adults (without shelf) - 40x46x36 cm;
- For adults (with shelf) - 37x60.5x34 cm.
The first digit in size indicates the height, the second - length, the third is the width of the bowl.
And taking into account the fact that there are many models of foreign production, whose standards do not correspond to our GOST, Optimal dimensions are calculated for most of our bathrooms: 38x48x37 cm. For people having a lot of weight and high growth, length can be selected up to 60 and even 70 cm - there are also such models.
How to choose?
Of course, the choice of toilet bowl is a personal depends on the taste and preferences of the owners themselves. One like compact models, others - with a tank hanging on the wall, and the third - angular options. As for the manufacturers - in other buyers of traction to the German plumbing, others - to Czech, and others do not have anything against domestic toilets, just worked well.
But still you can recommend adhere to the process of choosing the toilet bowls of some criteria in order not to be mistaken.
- If you choose high-quality and expensive plumbing, first of all pay attention to the models of European and American manufacturers. There are very interesting copies of stone and even from glass (of course, not transparent).
- Consult with plumbers-professionals about choosing the optimal model of toilet bowl.
- Measure the diameter of the sewage pipe before purchasing the diameter to which the toilet will be connected.
- Decide for yourself which external form and color should be a new plumbing device.
- If you want to purchase a siphone type of toilet, then you know that we have little to buy such toilet bowls. Repair can cost big money, and some items have a risk, in general, not found.
- Try sitting on the chosen bowl to find out the convenience.
