Many confuse the installation with a conventional tank built into the wall. However, these are completely different things.

  • wall, which are attached directly to the wall;
  • floor. They are installed in the middle of the bathroom;
  • Angular - in the corner of the room.

All these types of supporting structuresdiffer in the shape of the supporting frame and the number of basic elements located on it. However, the process of installing the various modules is very similar. For example, all installations for the toilet have the ability to adjust the height of fixing the toilet bowl, drain button and the tank itself. Floor modules are recommended to use if the wall is unstable and can not withstand the weight of the toilet.

Many consumers areplumbing with distrust, they believe that the hanging toilet with the installation may not withstand a long operation and at one perfect moment break off from the wall. However, few people know that a standard installation can withstand a weight of up to four hundred kilograms.
The durability of the operation of suspended sanitary ware is not affected either by the thickness or density of the material of the bearing wall. A properly installed module can secure the toilet in the most reliable way.

disadvantages

According to utilities, a hanging toilet bowl withinstallation violates the first rule of plumbing: all communications must be easily accessible.
