How to install a bath

Baths are: recumbent, sitting, half-baths and shower trays are deep. The greatest demand in Russia is still used enameled tub. Installation of a bathroom to start with a floor mounted plastic siphon with overflow and the release of iron or brass siphon with the release of iron and overflow. Sometimes you have to collect the transition from the tee trap and the other, carved on a lathe and welded parts.

After installation of a siphon, you will need to attach to the bathtub and put her legs so that the outlet pipe of plastic or improvised siphon entered the sewer pipe. In a cast-iron screw steel pipe siphon.

Bath, if possible, close to the wall and slide make the bias towards the issue. Joint and siphon sewer pipe zachekante. Screw the adjuster electrical potential on one side to spetsprilivu the bath. The second side equalizer to connect the water pipe or ground after installation of the bathtub. Potential equalization protects a person from dealing with the bath from static electricity damage arising from the impact of the jet on the surface of the bath. Cast iron baths, made in Turkey, for example, are in chrome metal handle. They are beautiful and comfortable. Do not forget to ground the body of such a bath.

Installation of bathtubs with hydro massage is more complicated because of the need to be earthed electrical equipment of these tanks. Metal chrome nozzle usually protrude from the inner surface of the bath. The bathtub is made of porcelain (Italy), plastics (Slovakia), etc. Each spa bath is equipped with an electric motor, which drives the water through the pipes.

When the bath put in the center of the room, sealing the edges of the bath issues do not arise. The situation is different if the bath is to the wall or walls. The small gap between the tub and the wall board in this case zamazhte abruptly diluted cement, creating a triangular cross-section layer, and then prokraste the face of the white oil paint. If you are trying to post while wall tiles, the small horizontal slit missed are likely to overlap the edges of the tile. For large cracks move brick "foundation" or put on board a plastic plate or bath tube, over which the sealing layer and apply. This layer can mask the ceramic tiles.

Import of formulations for sealing cracks around the bath and on the walls suggest a polyurethane assembly foam, manufactured in Switzerland.

When working with this foam be sure to observe safety rules:

encouraged to wear goggles and rubber gloves;
in contact with the foam on the skin or eyes, rinse thoroughly with water;
apply the foam in a fire, electrical appliances included, hot items, smokers - is prohibited;
foam in the tank under pressure, so you can not keep it in the sun at a temperature above 50oS;
container after use is prohibited to disassemble or burn;
Keep bottle out of reach of children.


Contact surfaces before applying the foam is purified. Removing the foam from the tank is carried out in sequence:

The container is shaken thoroughly for at least 20 times;
poured copiously moistened with water or surface treated;
remove the protective cover from the cylinder, an adapter with the wind the nozzle all the way to "tap" the container;
bottle upside down. In this position, and produce foam.

Groove or slot is filled with foam to 2 / 3 volume. Excess hardened foam is removed with a knife, not frozen - remove the solvent. When outages nozzle is removed and washed with solvent and water. One-component polyurethane foam (containing 4.4 difenilmetandinzotsianita) - this is the semi-stretched sealant hardens under the influence of humidity. Foam has good adhesion to concrete, stone, enamel on metal, etc., but it is inefficient for polyethylene and silicone. Cures for 2-24 hours, increasing in volume. In the solid state foam is waterproof and heat insulation is of good quality.

If your enamel bath has lost its smooth surface - it can be consistently recovered. For this, first degrease with acetone or solvent. Difficult white porous surface nitro with a swab. Repeat the process until such time until you get a flat surface. The final layer of Spray nitroenamels. Chips on the surface after degreasing zamazhte mixture "Supercement" and nitroemali in a 1:1 ratio. When a single bath and wash basin - their side should overlap by 50 - 100 mm.
