Before proceeding with the installation of a wall-hung toilet, it is first necessary to make it clear that this process requires certain professional skills and tools. Proper installation is not only related to the longevity of the toilet, but also to the safety and hygiene of the user. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that you carefully read the installation manual provided by the manufacturer and ensure that you have the relevant technical skills before proceeding with the installation. Next, we will provide you with a general wall-hung toilet installation guide for your reference.
First, make sure that the chosen installation location meets the relevant building and hygiene standards. When choosing a location, it is necessary to consider whether the connection between the water source and the drainage pipe is convenient, and ensure that it does not cause inconvenience to the surrounding space during use. At the same time, make sure that the wall structure of the chosen location is strong enough to withstand the weight of the toilet bowl as well as the load during use. If necessary, a professional can be called in to carry out a structural assessment of the building.
Next, according to the installation manual provided by the manufacturer, determine the installation height of the toilet bowl and mark the location of the mounting holes on the wall. Before marking the location, use a measuring tool to accurately measure the position of the hole and the design requirements of the toilet. Once the location is marked, use an electric drill and an appropriately sized drill bit to punch holes in the wall so that the expansion bolts can be installed.
After installing the expansion bolts, fix the mounting plate or bracket to the wall. This step ensures that the mounting plate is tightly connected to the expansion bolt and that the mounting plate is placed horizontally. On the mounting plate, there are usually pre-set threaded holes for securing the base. Before doing so, make sure that the seals or gaskets on the base are in place to prevent future water leaks.
Subsequently, depending on the type of toilet, the base is connected with the mounting plate. This step may require two people to work together to ensure that the base fits perfectly into the mounting plate. When fixing the base, be careful not to use excessive force to avoid damaging the base or mounting plate. In general, the manufacturer will provide the appropriate tools and screws to ensure that the correct tools are used for installation.
Next, connect the water source and drain pipes. When connecting water source pipes, make sure that a suitable sealing washer is used at the connection and that the nut is properly tightened with a wrench. When connecting drain pipes, use the same sealing ring and make sure that the connection is secure and not leaking.
Finally, carefully inspect each step of the installation to ensure that all screws and connections are strong and reliable. Then, a simple functional test is carried out to check whether the toilet flushes, drains, etc. is working properly. If necessary, the settings can be adjusted according to the installation manual.
