Installing the toilet with his hands.



Among our fellow citizens have long been a strong tradition of producing most of the construction and repair works to the extent possible with their hands. This applies to the construction of garden shed, and to repair his apartment. Indeed, in order to paste over the walls of his house wallpaper or paint the doors, do not necessarily invite a team of painters. However, in the minds of many of our citizens is firmly entrenched fear of a sanitary filling our apartment.

We used the crane in case of leakage or blockage of sewer pipes to send the SOS zhilkontoru and wait for the visit of "Mount Athos". Benefit at the time the visit was costing three rubles or in the unit 'liquid currency. " But now, when the cost of installing sanitary equipment is approaching the cost of the equipment, it makes sense to think about expanding their repair skills. Let's not razmenivayas in detail, let's start right away with the serious. With the replacement of the toilet.

Feeding and diversions plumbing communication

To begin with let's deal with the principle of providing sanitary standard apartment. We represent the system as a whole. From the moment of entry of water and to the point where it leaves our apartment.

First of all - feeding pressurized water pipes. As a rule, they are made of steel. Although in recent times more common copper. Copper pipes are much more expensive but much more durable because they do not rust. Non-galvanized steel pipes are available, and therefore susceptible to corrosion (so-called black), and zinc. Even svezheizgotovlennye black pipes are easily distinguished by the clear stand out longitudinal welds. In the galvanized pipe corrosion protection layer with a thickness not less than 40 microns as applied to the outer and the inner surface.

Pipes are distinguished by the diameter of orifice (DN), ie largest inner diameter. Depending on the thickness of the walls of water pipes are divided into light, ordinary and reinforced. Compounds are used for their couplings, tees, reducers and other fittings are threaded. Pipes of the same diameter connecting lines, and pipes of different diameters - adapter. When cornering, the pipeline used angular coupling. Branches are carried out by means of tees. For installation of pipe crossings are installed in the same plane crossing.

We now turn to diverting sewage pipes. They are made of cast iron. External and internal surfaces of pipes covered with a layer of oil bitumen. This layer provides corrosion protection and reduces friction on the inner surface of the water pipes. Given the need for careful sealing of the connection of sewer pipes require special attention. The cylindrical portion of one pipe is inserted into the socket the other hand, the gap between them zakonopachivaetsya resin strands (tow) and zachekanivaetsya cement-sand mortar.

At the entrance to the sewers are installed siphons. They are mounted in the ground connection to the outlet plumbing line sewer. Siphon - a kind of hydraulic valves, block access from sewer gases into the room.

Mastered the principle of applying sanitary and drainage lines, you can go to the main topic of this article - installing the toilet.

The toilet and its installation

There are three basic ways to mount the toilet to the floor:

1) you can just fix it on the concrete or tiled floor with screws, screwed into dowels;
2) The second method is as old as the world is somewhat more complicated but more reliable. The toilet is attached to a taffeta - a wooden board, a recessed groove floor. Taft made of solid wood prooliflennoy well (for example, oak). Bottom taffeta installed anchors to ensure the reliability of its fastening to the floor. Protozoa may serve as anchors nails driven into a checkerboard pattern and protruding from taffeta to 20-30 mm. Excavation of the floor is filled with cement-sand mortar, in which utaplivayut taffeta with anchors, flush with the floor. After setting, the solution is fixed by conventional toilet bolts. Screws need to grease the axle grease or graphite car, so that later they are easily turned away. And in the first and second cases under the head screws should be put under rubber washers to prevent damage to the bed toilet;
3) to the toilet and you can by using epoxy glue. First, you must clean the bonding surfaces from dirt and grease them thoroughly. Then, the surface should be treated corundum stone to create texture and degrease again. On the supporting surface is applied to the resin bed thickness of 4-5 mm, and the toilet firmly pressed to the floor.

In the second and third cases to fully grasp or epoxy resin solution should be given an extract of at least 10-12 hours. So, you may have to come back several times to the neighbors or to the nearest Pay institution.

In order to avoid embarrassment should be carefully connected to the outlet line. Part of the toilet, directly connectable to the sewer drainage is called release. Issue may be direct (vertical) or oblique (angled).

It has exterior grooves to be fluff drying oil diluted in red lead, after which the issue must be tightly wrap a strand of resin. In this strand should not be up to 3-4 mm by the end of issue. Otherwise it may fall into the tube, leading to congestion. Next issue is inserted into pre-cleaned of old sealant sewage discharge chute and the annular gap zakonopachivaetsya flagella of linen yarn. Then the gap zachekanivaetsya cement-sand mortar. To prevent chipping zachekanki it is useful to wrap the joint with a bandage and a fresh fluff his remaining solution.

Now we have the last operation - connection flush toilet. If the tank is mounted directly to the toilet shelf, the connection pipe to the neck is just a rubber cuff. One-third of the cuff is worn on the sleeve, the other two thirds is turned inside out and stretch it the same, exposing the butt sleeve. Then the sleeve and neck fit together and turned inside out of the cuff is worn on the neck. In some cases, flushing cistern mounted to a wall at some distance from the pan. With this arrangement to Backa screwed pipe opposite end of which is smeared with red lead and wrapped tow. The pipe bowl and neck collar are joined, the pipe fixed by a thin wire. The final touch - flush toilet washing of the supply water pipe and adjust the water level in it.

WARNING: Before beginning work do not forget to turn off the water! Shut-off valve is located on the supply water pipe, with its entrance into the apartment.
