Often, finishing works with tiles are finished, and plumbing is not yet exposed. Builders find it easier to do their work in an empty room, when foreign devices do not interfere with them, and it is very easy to damage the delicate surface of devices. Therefore, our masters will not stop knowing how to install the toilet yourself, without spoiling the delicate surface of the tile.
How to install a toilet on the tile?
- We study the location of our toilet bowl and prepare the following tools and materials:
- connecting flute;
- a tap for supplying water to the tank;
- sealing materials;
- sealant;
- Special drills for concrete and tiles;
- hammer drill;
- a set of keys;
- spatula, marker or pencil;
- core.
The old goffers are removed, the nest is cleaned, dried. The edges of the pipe are lubricated with a silicone sealant. They are not equal, but in this place you need to pack everything as much as possible so that water and foreign smells do not seep. We insert carefully new corrugation until it stops. From above in a circle, you can once again walk through silicone to fully guarantee a sealed connection. During the installation of the toilet, it will need to be connected several times with the corrugation. To facilitate this process, we lubricate the edges of the rubber with soapy water. We also do the same procedure with that part of our plumbing fixture (neck), on which the corrugation is worn. Pre- installation of the toilet bowl on the tile in place. We look, that it stood exactly, looked well against the background of the tile, visually was in the middle of the room. We mark the future holes in the tile with a marker. We remove the toilet and find our marks. With a core or simple self-tapping core tile, in order to knock off enamel. This technique will not allow the drill to come off the set point. Carefully drill the tile. The perforator in impact mode can destroy the tile. The first time we pass the drill in the minimum mode, using a drill on the glass, until we leave the tile, and finish the hole at the required depth with a drill bit on the concrete. To facilitate drilling, add a little water to the hole. The drill for concrete can not be removed immediately. Clean all of the garbage near the rag or brush with it, so that it does not get inside the hole. When the tile is cleaned, the drill can be removed and the whole surface wiped with a dry rag. We block the dowels and mark the tiles. They will help us to put the toilet bowl more accurately in relation to the holes made. Fastening of a toilet bowl consists of bolts, plastic washers, dowels and caps. We have already scored the dowels, it remains to put the bolts in the washers and put them in place. You can install the toilet bowl on the tile as soon as the bolts enter the holes, tighten them, and close their heads with a pretty cap. We connect the water hose to the tap, and its second end to the inlet of the tank. Install the tank cap. We screw the drain button. We check the work of the toilet. Than to glue a toilet bowl to a tile if drilling is impossible?
In some cases, you can not install bolts. If a warm floor is installed under the tile, then it can be damaged by a drill. Therefore, you have to use special adhesives. What is best for this job:
- silicone adhesive;
- liquid Nails;
- epoxy resin.
In the case, how to fix the toilet to the tile with the help of glue, it is important to prepare the lower part of our device and the tile in a special way. Pre-process these places with sandpaper, making them rough, which helps to achieve better adhesion.
