Installing a Bidet Installation - A Brief Overview of Self-Installation Technology
The modern bathroom is filled with a wide variety of equipment. In a relatively small room you need to place a lot of objects, and make it so that the room does not seem cluttered. Suspended plumbing equipment comes to the rescue, which perfectly fulfills its functions and at the same time brings a feeling of spaciousness due to the effect of “soaring in the air” object. It is clear that for fixing such devices special devices, such as installation for a bidet, will be required.
What is an installation?
At its core, installation is a special design for fixing a bidet, which is based on a self-supporting frame. Its crossbars are adjustable in height, and the brackets make it possible to mount the structure, both on a straight section of the wall and in the corner.
Some types of structures are designed for certain models of equipment, but most are universal and can be adjusted to different parameters. Based on the design features, two types of installations are distinguished:
- Blocky. It can be installed exclusively on solid walls. The structure is a housing in which the mounting points of the fittings are located. It has no support on the floor; it is attached to the wall with the help of anchors, which take up a significant part of the load. Most often, such a system is used for mounting on concrete walls made of concrete or brick.
- Frame. It is a special metal frame with elements for mounting fittings. The structure is attached at four points, two of which are on the floor, and two more on the wall. The main difference of the system: the ability to adjust the installation depth, which makes it possible to mount it in a variety of niches, adjusting the equipment to the required dimensions. The frame installation for the hanging bidet differs in the way of installation and can be designed for fixing on solid walls or on lightweight partitions. Universal options are also available.
What is it for?
Using the installation for a bidet allows the installation of equipment in almost any part of the room, provided that it is possible to bring the necessary communications to the system. However, it must be remembered that despite the wide installation possibilities, it is still best to mount the bidet in the immediate vicinity of the toilet and preferably at the same level as it.
Installation allows you to use the space as efficiently as possible - all pipes can be hidden behind the decor
Another advantage of using the installation is a significant saving in space, achieved due to the fact that all communication systems are hidden behind the decor of the structure. At the same time, special repair windows allow access to all items of equipment.
How to install everything correctly?
The installation process is quite simple.However, during the course of work, it must be remembered that the final finishing will be carried out on top of the structure. The slightest mistake in the installation will entail the dismantling of not only the design, but also the decor.
It is worthwhile to carefully read the instructions attached to the equipment and make a thorough calculation. Actually installation of the bidet installation involves three stages:
- Frame installation. The process will vary slightly depending on the type of system selected, however, in general terms, it runs the same way. First of all, the basic structural elements should be correctly positioned. When installing a block installation, attention should be paid to the reliability of anchoring of anchor bolts. Reinforced frame structures assume the direction of the main load on the floor, universal require its uniform distribution. All types of constructions require height adjustments made by special retractable legs that change their length by no more than 20 cm. The final distance from the floor to the top of the installed bidet can vary up to 43 cm. In addition, frame constructions are provided with depth, which are produced by special extensions and vary from 125 to 185 mm. All installations are equipped with special studs designed to secure the bidet. The standard distance between them is 230 or 180 mm.
- Plumbing connection. In the course of work, special attention is directed to the reliability and tightness of the connection. The most correct solution is to carry out the installation, guided by a pre-prepared bidet scheme, which will indicate the model of equipment and the type of mixer installed. If you intend to use an electronically controlled mixer that works from a network adapter, you need to think in advance about the layout and combination of power supply and water supply.
Mounting Bidet
- . Fairly simple stage. The bowl is set in place and secured with studs. Then the mixer is mounted and connected. On this installation of the bidet installation is considered complete.
Installation is carried out depending on the type of system selected
The practicality and functionality of the installations is undeniable. The design is made of steel, which allows it to securely fix the bidet and withstand severe loads of up to 400 kg. The hanging equipment mounted on it has an attractive appearance, significantly saves space, visually expanding the room, and facilitates the cleaning process. A properly installed installation for a bidet makes it possible to get safe, practical and beautiful equipment for your bathroom.
