When designing a new bathroom, there are many jobs to do. For each of them there is a specific professional who can take care of the work for you, but is it always necessary to contact them? In this article we want to see in particular how to mount flush-to-the-wall sanitary ware. Will you need a plumber?
Flush-to-wall sanitary fixtures are the most convenient type of sanitary ware for managing the bathroom, both in assembly and in connection with the drains. These advantages have made flush-to-wall sanitary ware among the most chosen by our customers and push us to make this guide on how to mount flush-to-wall sanitary ware.
Floor fixings
When assembling flush-to-the-wall sanitary ware, we have two paths, which change depending on the model and the company chosen.
The first one we deal with is classic, and involves fixing to the floor with pins that must be carefully positioned on the floor.
In the first step, insert the drain and water connection fittings. Therefore, always carefully follow the technical data sheet which explains how to mount the sanitary fixtures flush with the wall and fix the equipment or bracket supplied with the sanitary fixtures to the floor.
At this time, you can place the bathroom fixtures carefully so as not to scratch the tiles or ceramic.
Once the toilet is in place and all accessories are inserted correctly, carry out the first inspection by slightly opening the water drain hose.
If there are no leaks, a complete drain should also be performed. If in this case too there are no leaks and everything goes smoothly, continue inserting the fixing screws and, optionally, a line of silicone to seal everything.
Hidden wall fixings
This version is the most modern and appreciated among the latest series of built-in sanitary ware. The wall-mounted attachment system simplifies operation and avoids dangerous holes in the floor.
Again, first we proceed to connect all the bends and fittings necessary for the exhaust pipe.
Then retrieve the fixing kit supplied with the sanitary ware. According to the data sheet, it is necessary to make holes in the wall and place the fixing system, and the vase will be fixed to the system without any further special efforts.
At this time, as in the previous case, you can use silicone thread for sealing.
In addition to saving time and drilling holes in the floor, this process can also quickly dismantle the toilet when necessary for inspection or maintenance.
Conclusions
Mounting flush-to-the-wall sanitary fixtures is not particularly complicated; anyone who knows how to follow the instructions and has the right equipment can do it.
Unlike wall-hung sanitary ware, there is no masonry work that requires higher technical skills, so it is possible to mount the sanitary ware flush with the wall easily.
