Bidet siphon tips

Installing devices in the bathroom can be a lot of trouble. This is due to the water supply system to which the structure must be connected. Modern devices not only make bathrooms more attractive, but also more convenient. A siphon is one of the drain elements, without which the proper functioning of equipment, including a bidet, is impossible.

This device is found in several forms:

• bottled;
• tubular.

Depending on the material, it can be:

• plastic;
• steel;
• brass;
• from a flexible corrugated hose which consists of plastic.

The bottle look is different in that it has the shape of a simple bottle. These models are more efficient and cheaper, which makes them more profitable to operate. In the bottom part of such siphons there are objects that got there randomly.

The tubular view is made in the shape of the letter S. Its design is complex, which makes installation more difficult.

Make your selections based on the sizes you need. Bidet siphons differ from any other siphons in that they are large. For this reason, placing a bidet in a small bathroom will be problematic.

Pay attention to bandwidth. It should be equal to the speed of the wastewater that will drain.

To attach a siphon, a thread is usually used, but there are also types of bidets that provide for other types of fastening.

Some manufacturers (Viega, Kludi, Bandini, Begerit, Alcaplast) have siphons in which not one but several water seals are installed. Such models eliminate sewage odor to a minimum. They look like a coil. They are often used for indoor installation.

If the installation will be carried out in open form (when all the internal parts are visible), then the metal options will look more attractive. They may have a chrome finish.

The type of installation should also be chosen at your discretion. Plastic siphons are less attractive, and people try to hide them with a decorative case. Models with a chrome surface give the bathroom elegance. Such can be safely installed with open installation.

If you will buy a siphon in the store, then make sure documentation is available. This technique should be high quality and serve you for a long time so that you do not change it often.

During installation, all connections must be sealed.

A bend with a large bend is a feature of the bidet so that you can drain large volumes of water. The thread at the connecting part is often 1/4 in diameter. However, some bidets are sold with a siphon that is already integrated. This type of design only needs to be connected to the sewage system, and this is done directly.

Install the siphon strictly according to the instructions, as improper installation can cause a malfunction of the device. It can also damage the tiles. In the best case, improper installation will only require the purchase of new parts.

The installation of the siphon during installation of the bidet takes place step by step.

1. The grill is screwed in from the side of the drain hole.
2. On the reverse side of the bidet, a receiving part is attached, then a connection occurs. It can be done with nuts, but only with mounting nuts.
3. Tighten the nuts preferably by hand.
4. The tap end is set in the same way. It must be attached to the socket of the sewer pipe. It is advisable to seal this connection with sealant or coiling from tow.

It is worth paying attention to this design. Its feature can be called constipation of water in the device and holding the drain to the right moment. To control the device with this valve, you need to use a special mechanism, it can be a button or lever. They can be on top, side or back of the device. When the bottom valve is activated, a plug moves, which blocks the access of water to the drain.

The advantages of the bottom valve include:

• modern appearance;
• easy operation;
• hygiene;
• efficiency when cleaning from a blockage;
• saving a lot of water.

Modern types of bottom valves allow them to be installed in latrines of any style. There are a large number of different colors and shades. This is a plus for those who have a bathroom in a certain color scheme.

When the bidet and its internal parts (mixers, valves, siphon) are ready for installation, then You will need to perform a certain sequence of steps.

1. Place the bidet in the selected location. If for some reason you purchased a device of the wrong dimensions or the location does not correspond to the general design concept, then move it to another section of the bathroom or purchase longer hoses.
2. Drill holes with a hammer drill. They must be marked in advance. If the bathroom floor is made of tiles and you are afraid that the punch can ruin it, then use a low speed during operation.
3. Clean up any excess debris left from drilling. Then attach the bidet. As fasteners use bolts or dowels.To make their work effective, lay rubber gaskets under them.
4. Next is the connection to the sewer. It is advisable to prepare the pipes in advance. To do this, you need to organize the correct wiring of communications.
5. After connecting the sewer will remain connect cold and hot water.

For unsuccessful attempts to install the design yourself, it is better to trust the specialists. Installation of a bidet is connected to the sewer, and any malfunction can harm the bathroom.
