Geberit toilet installations: features, types and sizes

For many years, plumbing in the form of a toilet did not change; it always had a standard look, universal dimensions and a well-known shape. However, modern technologies dictate a different approach, namely, functionality in everything. Built-in elements allow you to hide all unaesthetic components, in a prominent place there is only a button for draining and a bowl. Everything is hidden in a special wall or box.

The advantage of such designs is their versatility, they can be built into different rooms and spaces. Own style in the interior, a free approach, the possibility of quick installation, as well as affordable costs - these are the requirements that apartment owners make for modern repairs in the toilet. The competent system of the Geberit company gives the chance to develop universal solutions for any room.

An installation for a toilet bowl is a metal construction, with equipment fixed to it and other special elements, for example, a button for flushing. There are enough elements in it that allow the unit to look good. The system is designed so that you can experiment, place it in a place convenient for the client. Manufacturers have developed a large line of different models for any wallet and a variety of models. The system consists of a number of elements that form a complete apparatus.

The case is the main component. It is made of steel, which is first coated with an anti-corrosion agent.The harness for the toilet is fixed on the installation, then all the connecting parts, including various fittings, are installed. A drain tank is attached to the housing.

The wall hung toilet is the second important structural element. He, as a rule, always comes with the installation. Such products have a universal and easy to adjust mechanism. This makes it possible to form a frame under any hanging toilet. When choosing this or that design, it must be remembered that quality directly affects the operation of the unit. Saving on such a thing is definitely not necessary. Should choose products reliable and trusted manufacturers. The good news is that the choice does not stop only on white, which allows you to develop your own unique style and design.

The drain button is the third one that must be taken into account when forming this or that installation. It is led out to the wall, installed above the barrel, you can choose another location, because the system allows. The main thing is that it is convenient to use it. When choosing this accessory, it is important to pay attention not only to the design, but also to the drain mode. It is advisable to choose the option in which there are two buttons, since this significantly saves water.

In general, the installation has the following advantages:

• beautiful appearance, respectively, this is reflected in the overall design of the room;
• convenient to clean the room;
• takes up little space;
• good sound insulation;
• Warranty period - from 10 years.

The obvious advantages of the Geberit brand are enough. The main ones are: ease of maintenance of equipment, as well as the use of structures made of high quality and reliable materials.

Here are a few advantages of installation from the manufacturer Geberit, namely:

• the structure is made of steel;
• the toilets pass the test - they install a load of up to 500 kg;
• the tank is made of HDPE, it is a seamless, seamless tank;
• the unit is 100 percent tight;
• flush elbow is welded three times;
• functional units have comfortable access;
• Warranty spare parts will deliver 25 years;
• the device is easily installed.

It is worth noting such negative aspects in the use of the installation, as:

• high price;
• difficult installation;
• it is difficult to immediately understand that there is a leak, since all hoses are closed with false panels;
• legal component - utilities do not allow closing the riser, so you have to get the approval of these services so that there are no problems in the future.

All components of a particular design depend on the type. There are two types in total.

• Block installation is considered the most budget. It is mounted in a special niche, then the fittings that hold the toilet are fixed to it. The mounting hole is closed with a special box, then comes the decoration in accordance with the design of the room.

• Frame installation is the most expensive and difficult to install. The frame consists of steel coated with a special anti-corrosion solution. All other elements are attached to this frame. The frame dimensions are as follows: width - from 50 to 60 cm, height - from 850 to 140 cm, depth - from 15 to 30 cm. The main advantage of the frame option is that it can be installed in any conditions and rooms. Fasteners and models are selected in accordance with the room in which they will be located.

There is also combined option. It begins to work when the structure is mounted horizontally and vertically. It is often called the angular configuration. They are used in small rooms, they use a corner that was previously unclaimed, thereby freeing up more space for useful things. Type directly affects the configuration of the bathroom itself. The advantages of the frame type are adjustable elements, which make it possible to adjust the dimensions and dimensions of the niche itself. Even the narrow design can look harmoniously in a small toilet room.

The standard sizes of built-in toilets include the following:

• height - from 35 to 45 cm;
• width - from 30 to 40 cm;
• depth - from 50 to 60 cm.

It should be noted that the sizes vary from model to destination. There are toilets for children, and there are for adults. Some companies went further and developed bowls for the disabled. Every year more and more designer models appear. They are made to order, they can be individual sizes. A shorter installation (82 cm) is used when the mounting space is limited by height. For example, when the toilet is placed under the windows, it is also called a low installation.

The drain tank does not look like a standard one. It is made of another material, and is also distinguished by its compact size. The width of the innovative plastic tank is 9 cm, the width is 50 cm, the height is from 55 to 60 cm, the volume is 3-5 l. Before installing, you must consider the size of the box itself. Before buying, you need to carefully measure everything. If the design does not fit, then it is important to check all the dimensions of the niche most prepared for it.

Dimensions of the installation depend on its type. The frame has the following characteristics:

• depth from 15 to 30 cm;
• height from 85 to 140 cm;
• and the maximum width can be up to 60 cm.

It is necessary to say about such parameters as:

• the distance from the floor to the sewer pipe, that is, its center point is 230 mm;
• fasteners are located at a distance of 17 to 24 cm.

The smallest dimensions are toilet bowls in which the block type of placement is used. They differ from the previous version. Here the depth will be from 10 to 16 cm, the length will be one meter.

It must be remembered that most situations involve the separation of the tank as well as the toilet. They are in this case mounted separately. The last element is fixed near the wall. The hinged installation comes with several mountings to the load-bearing wall. It is suitable for loads up to 410 kg, which indicates its strength.

More details should be considered the range of installations for the Geberit toilet.

This is the perfect solution for a hanging toilet. It should be noted that two technological holes allow installation at once on several holes.

Installation is installed on a prepared place. Installation does not require special equipment. It is necessary to have a minimum skill experience, a standard set of tools, and as a rule, almost every owner has them. Geberit components allow you to quickly install the design, everything is thought out to the smallest detail, so a simple layman can cope with this task. The structure includes fewer fasteners, standard forms of hardware are used, as well as well-known technologies.

The fittings are attached to the base of the toilet itself. Use a branch pipe, which is connected at right angles. This design has been tested for years, there were no complaints. The set has a shutter, a joint, as well as a cuff for the pipe. Although the mechanism is located in the wall, access to the drain tank can be arranged through the flush panel.
