tank assembly algorithm First of all, carefully unpack all the parts included in the kit and read the installation instructions to properly assemble the toilet bowl of your model.

The tank includes the following components:

1. Filling Fittings - is designed to automatically fill the tank after flushing is performed.
2. Draining equipment. With its help, the water is drained from the tank to the floor cup.
3. Flushing tank. This is a tank filled with tap water. When washing, the water from the tank goes into the bowl of the device.
4. Overflow device - draws water from the reservoir into the bowl if the filling fixture has failed.

Filling the tank with the drainage mechanism

The work begins with the installation in the tank of the drainage mechanism. It is sold as an assembly, so no additional effort is required to install:

1. Insert the mechanism into the hole on the bottom of the tank.
2. In this case, in order to avoid leaks, you need to use a rubber gasket that is installed from inside the tank.
3. The drainage mechanism is fixed by means of a special nut. Tighten the nut manually or with a special plastic wrench.

Important! Carry out all operations with the utmost care so as not to damage the plastic.

We put the tank on the toilet

The tank itself is mounted on the toilet with metal pins. If the product is not equipped with metal pins, but with plastic bolts, it is better to replace the plastic with metal beforehand.

Important! Plastic fastenings are fragile and quickly fail. Put a gasket and washer on each stud, then insert the fasteners into the specially designed holes.

The nut that holds the drainage mechanism is closed with a rubber seal.

Now you can install the drain tank on the toilet:

1. Put the nuts on the studs and start twisting them alternately, while observing great care.
2. Continue to tighten until the can is firmly attached to the bowl.

Installation of the float

The last moment is the installation of the float:

3. Reinstall the plumbing. Prepare the fasteners, not forgetting the washers and inserts. Tighten the fixings by fixing the device in place.

The toilet was installed. It remains to connect it to the engineering communications.

How to connect the toilet bowl and the tank to the communications?

You can connect the reservoir to the water supply in two ways: by placing the connection at the top or bottom of the tank.

Important! The second option is preferable, since the water in the tank is recruited almost noiselessly.

It is desirable that the outlets of the tank and the water pipe are on one side, since it is much more convenient to connect the device. Of course, if the outlets of the water pipe and the tank are from different sides, this will not affect the operation of the device. It's all about the convenience of installation and aesthetical design.

Connecting the reservoir to the water pipe

For this, as a rule, flexible hoses with nuts are used. For sealing use a tape FUM or gaskets made of rubber.

Important! It is advisable to install a cut-off valve, which allows you to overlap the water locally if necessary. All other points of water intake will function in normal mode.

How to connect the toilet bowl to the sewer system?

If you are installing a new plumber instead of the old one, it is advisable to choose the equipment with the same type of connection. Depending on the location of the drain pipe, these types of toilet bowls are distinguished:

• With horizontal outlet( the drain pipe is parallel to the floor plane).
• With vertical outlet( drain pipe direction - perpendicular to the floor).
• With an oblique discharge( the drain pipe forms an angle of 30-40 degrees with the floor plane).

Toilet assembly: vertical outlet

The nozzle and siphon bowls of the toilet bowl are located vertically downwards. Such designs are popular in Western Europe.

Important! Their main advantage is that installation at any angle to the wall is possible.

The installation procedure is quite simple:

1. After marking is done, mount a standard screw flange with a lock.
2. Fit the sewer pipe into the hole in the center of the flange.
3. Install the toilet bowl on the flange, turning it until it locks completely.

Horizontal edition

Taka plumbing is still the most popular in the post-Soviet countries. The connection of the toilet bowl and sewer outlet is made by a special sealing cuff.

The oblique release of

The procedure for connecting the toilet is as follows:

1. Lubricate the release of plumbing with a mixture of drying oil and curd.
