Sizes of toilets with a tank

When making a toilet plan, the toilet plays a leading role. A competent choice of plumbing equipment allows not only to save space indoors, but also guarantees convenience during personal hygiene procedures. On the modern market of sanitary ware, you can find toilet bowls of various configurations, sizes and installation options.

It is necessary to highlight the special standard dimensions of the toilet bowl with a tank, which are generally accepted and optimal, since almost all of this plumbing equipment was designed using it in the old days. Nowadays, you can even place an order for a special product in terms of size, but you need to build on standard parameters. Such devices are aimed at people with the classic characteristics of weight and height. You can highlight the following standard features:

• with a one-piece shelf on which a drain tank is installed (compact toilet);
• without a shelf when the tank is mounted to the wall and built into it.

The State Standard (GOST) establishes the following standard size of floor-mounted compact toilets with a tank:

• depth (length) - from 61 to 64.5 cm;
• width - from 34.5 cm;
• height - from 37 to 39.5 cm.

Toilets without a shelf have the following parameters:

• length - from 43.5 to 46 cm;
• width - from 36 cm;
• height - 35.5-40 cm.

Foreign standards are slightly different from domestic products:

• depth - up to 68.5 cm;
• width - up to 36.5 cm;
• height - up to 41 cm.

Among the floor-mounted toilets, you can find corner options, which, due to the peculiarities of their design, are also in demand for mounting in non-residential and residential buildings in order to save space.

The dimensions of the corner toilet directly depend on the size of the angle into which it will be mounted. An angular type toilet bowl may have the following dimensions:

• width - from 34.5 to 37.5 cm;
• depth - 72.5-79 cm;
• height - from 37 to 43 cm.

If we consider the parameters of the suspended modification of the toilet with installation, then here they are somewhat different from the standard. This model is mounted in such a way that the communication lines are hidden, and the bowl itself does not touch the floor; as a result, the height of the hanging type toilet bowl from the floor is calculated completely differently. Manufacturers indicate the height of the bowl, and at what distance from the floor to put it, the owner can decide personally.

The advantages of the suspended structure are a visual increase in the usable area, a harmonious combination with the interior. In addition, the installation of such a toilet makes it possible to significantly facilitate the cleaning of the toilet, since the drain does not interfere with the floor cleanliness under the bowl.

Suspended modifications are able to withstand loads of up to 450 kilograms, in other words, despite their grace and external fragility, they are quite strong and reliable. The parameters of the suspended structure, without taking into account the installation, have the following dimensions:

• width - from 35.5 cm to 37 cm;
• depth - from 48 cm to 70 cm;
• height - from 35 cm to 40 cm.

The dimensions of the mounted equipment of the floor and wall-mounted toilet modifications with installation have the following dimensions:

• width - from 35.5 to 37 cm;
• depth - from 47 to 58 cm;
• height - from 39 to 42 cm.

The installation of the toilet makes the use of a plumbing device essentially silent, as the conditions are created for high-quality sound isolation when collecting water in the tank and flushing. A solid mount ensures the stability of the entire installation system.

Small toilets are most often installed for children. Nevertheless, small-sized modifications are equally chosen by fans of minimalism in the style of the toilet room, even if its area allows you to install a larger toilet.

Compact or children's toilets have the following characteristics:

• width - from 29 to 35 cm;
• depth - from 46 to 59 cm;
• height - from 26 to 34 cm.

When choosing a toilet for children, the height and weight of the child, and, of course, the fact that children grow up quite rapidly, therefore, it is required to select a product with a margin of sizes of 20-25%.

If we are talking about non-standard dimensions, then it is necessary to isolate such plumbing devices that are distinguished by extremely small parameters, in this regard they are comfortable for people of small stature with a fragile physique.

Small, narrow toilets are perfect for mounting in small toilets. They look especially expressively in the toilet room, which is created in a minimalist style. In width they can be approximately 30 cm, and in length 50 cm, while the height is almost always no more than 30 centimeters. These toilets are tiny and affordable.

Large-scale sanitary equipment is intended for large people with an impressive physique and solid weight. When choosing a toilet product in this embodiment, it is important that it has the ability to withstand the increased load. For this reason, modifications to the overall toilet are ready to support the weight of up to 600 kilograms.

Samples of overall toilets may have the following dimensional characteristics:

• width - up to 40 centimeters;
• length - up to 70 centimeters;
• height - up to 65 centimeters.

The first step is to determine the required length and width of the sanitary device. It is supposed to make a dimensioning, finding out several technical characteristics.

• Width and length of the restroom. The optimum is a distance of 30 centimeters from the toilet to the walls or the rest of the plumbing, as well as 60 centimeters from the bowl to the wall in front.
• Width and sewer output configuration (vertical, oblique or horizontal pipe outlet).
• Diameter and length of sewer pipe (from the wall to the pipe), from which the distance between the toilet and the wall depends.
• Distance to the water supply.

When installing a system that requires installation (for example, a wall-mounted toilet or with a built-in tank), then the width, height and other design parameters should be additionally taken into account. In addition, do not lose sight of the false wall and its lining.

After the width and length are determined, it is necessary to establish the height of the toilet. Basically, the distance to the floor should be such that the legs on it can stand without tension, and not be in a hanging position. It is ideal to calculate the height, focusing on the tallest person living in the apartment.

The toilets differ among themselves not only in the dimensions and configuration of the tank and bowl, but also in other characteristics that are important during installation.

So that the toilet you purchased can be mounted in the toilet without much effort and problems, It is advisable to pay attention to several important aspects.

• If you have a typical sewage system (which is carried out at the walls, and not in the ceilings between floors), buy a toilet bowl with an oblique outlet. It is very easy to mount, regardless of the location of the drain neck.
• Find out the exact distance from the flush of the toilet (outlet) to the sewer pipe. This is required to purchase a suitable corrugated sleeve or connecting pipe.
• It is recommended that you make the rigid tube or flexible wiring that connect the inlet pipe of the drain tank to the tap of the water supply extremely short. However, do not forget that in this option there will be some difficulties when connecting.
