Toilets with an oblique release: varieties, tips for choosing and subtleties of installation

When repairing in the restroom, the question often arises of changing the plumbing. Choosing the right toilet is a painstaking task. Particular attention should be paid to the release of the purchased model, otherwise the installation process may be difficult or even impossible. In this article, toilet bowls with an oblique outlet will be considered, as well as recommendations on choosing a suitable model.

The release of toilets is of three types: vertical, horizontal and oblique. The latter is the most universal, since it can be connected to a sewage system located in the range from 0 to 350 degrees with respect to the toilet. For the first two options, “liberties” in connection are impossible. In addition to a convenient installation method, a toilet with an oblique inlet has a number of advantages.

1. Inclined Outlet It creates the least resistance when fecal masses pass through it, which means that it requires much less cleaning than other models and very rarely becomes clogged. This is a very important plus. In the installation of sanitary products, as a rule, they try to avoid right angles. An experienced plumber is unlikely to drain at an angle of 90 degrees, he will put 2 knees and divide the angle into equal inclined sections of 45 degrees.
2. Installation of a toilet with an oblique inlet so simple that it can be carried out independently, provided that you have little experience with plumbing and the necessary tools.

Toilets with an inclined socket, like others, are divided into several types in the shape of a bowl.

• With corner shelf. They are also called dish-shaped.This shape of the toilet has a shelf in the design features, which is located in the recess. This creates certain difficulties in the use and hygienic cleaning of the product. The fact is that waste products can remain in these constructive places and cause an unpleasant odor due to the spread of microorganisms. You will also have to use a brush much more often to clear the shelf of fecal matter. But the main problem of such models - the shape of the bowl contributes to the constant stagnation of water, as a result, the formation of limestone pollution, urinary stone and even rust. Complicated hygiene of dishwashers indirectly leads to greater water consumption than other models. However, models with a corner shelf have a significant plus - the complete absence of splashes when flushing.
• Funnel-shaped toilets. The bowl in such models is a funnel. It is characterized by the highest indicators of hygiene and profitability, since with a minimum flow of water the vital products do not stagnate, immediately rinsing into the sewer. As a result, there is no unpleasant odor, there is no need for frequent use of detergents. However, the model has a significant drawback - the formation of a large number of splashes when draining water. Fortunately, the anti-splash system, which most modern toilet bowls are equipped with, solves this problem.
• Toilets with a slope (visor). In this type of product, either the back or the front wall has a pronounced slope, which completely blocks the appearance of unpleasant odors. All solid waste immediately fall into the water and carried into the sewer.

The type of flush on the toilet with an oblique outlet is the following.

• Cascading. Water drainage in this model is realized thanks to several holes located under the rim of the toilet bowl. Thus, uniform cleansing of the entire bowl is achieved.

• Vertical. Drain is carried out only on the rear wall of the product. The least economical and efficient type of drain.

• With draining. When flushing, water flows under high pressure, and an increased volume of liquid quickly removes waste into the sewer. This type of flush is very economical.

On toilet bowls, as well as on other sanitary ware, certain state standards apply. However, in modern conditions increasingly, manufacturers are guided by technical specifications (TU), which means that 2 toilet units of the same functionality from the same manufacturer can vary significantly in size. But this only plays into the hands of the buyer, because you can choose a product of almost any size to suit your individual needs. Here are some sizes of toilet models.

• Floor models compact for installation in a corner. Great for installation in very small toilets or in combined bathrooms. They are used to save useful space, as they are very compact. Model dimensions (width, height and length) are 34-37 cm by 40 -42 with a length of about 80 cm.

• Toilet bowls with built-in cistern. Such models are often used in toilets, made according to an individual design project. The drain tank is located behind the false wall made of drywall, less often plastic. This installation technique allows you to visually lighten the space. Although in fact, the construction of a false wall steals the usable area. The length of the bowl is 46-49 cm, the width is 35-37 cm, and the height is 38-41 cm.

• Suspended models with installation. These toilets consist of 2 parts, one of which (the drain tank) is inside the wall, and the second (bowl) is suspended from the wall. Behind the partition there is a strong metal frame, on the pins of which the toilet is mounted. The width of the bowl is 37 cm, the length is 45 cm, and the height above the floor is 38-41 cm.

• Children's models. Such toilets, as a rule, are installed in the presence of a large number of children and an additional bathroom.Dimensions vary depending on the manufacturer's recommended age of the child who will use the product. The sizes of such models are naturally smaller than in adults. The most popular among buyers are children's toilets with the following dimensions: width - 26-30 cm, length - 37-39 cm, and height from 30 to 40 cm.

• Oversized models. The name speaks for itself. The sizes of such toilets are great for large or tall people. Such models are installed only in large toilet rooms, in standard for them there will simply be little space. Such products are very difficult to find on sale, because they are not in demand.

The most popular in the production of toilets are two types of material:

• sanitary ware;
• Sanitary porcelain.

Sanitary ware is made of clay with the addition of quartz. The material has a porous structure, therefore, it is subject to glazing without fail. This allows you to significantly reduce its moisture absorption coefficient, which means to increase the service life of sanitary ware from faience. In addition, the care of the product is simplified, as it does not absorb odors and pollution. A quality earthenware toilet is sometimes not so easy to distinguish from more expensive porcelain models, which are often used by negligent sellers.

The advantages of sanitary ware include:

• low cost;
• resistance (thanks to glaze) to pollution and aggressive chemicals;
• the life of the earthenware toilet is 30 years;
• easy to care.

The only drawback is the fragility of products from this type of ceramic. Porcelain toilet bowl is a true sales leader. Most popular foreign manufacturers of plumbing prefer this material. It consists of 60-70% koalin, the rest in its composition is spar and quartz. The advantages of sanitary porcelain toilets include:

• durability - the service life is 50 years;
• simplicity in leaving - it is not afraid of chemicals in cleaning;
• does not absorb unpleasant odors due to its perfectly smooth structure;
• very resistant to mechanical stress and shock;
• does not absorb water, which means that the likelihood of the formation of urinary stone and limescale is low.

Oblique toilet bowls are the most common model on sale. This configuration is universal, which means that not only Russian, but also imported (Swedish, German, Italian) toilets are made with this type of release. Judging by the reviews, the most popular are the following brands of toilets with an oblique socket.

1. Ifo Frisk. This is a floor model made of earthenware. The peculiarity is the presence of a micro-lift, which significantly increases the comfort of using the product.
2. Jika. The Lyra attached toilet is not equipped with a micro-lift, however, it has a funnel-shaped drain and a very attractive price for a product of this configuration.
3. Santrek. A feature of this standard toilet is the presence of the anti-splash system.
4. Sanita. The Luxe Classic model is equipped with a micro-lift seat. The material of manufacture is porcelain.

When buying a toilet with an inclined outlet angle, follow these guidelines.

1. Examine information on the manufacturer and quality certificates for the goods. Many European manufacturers, for example, from Germany, supplement their plumbing products with an extended warranty.
2. Decide on the size. This is especially true for small toilet rooms, as well as for models of toilets with a tank built into the wall. Sometimes for installation, a couple of centimeters may not be enough, so the size is one of the most important parameters.
3. Decide on the material and color. Of course, white products are universal and suitable for any interior.However, in the modern market there are also color models that make up a good competition with the familiar classics. The item in color can perfectly fit into a modern bathroom or toilet room in the styles of loft, pop art, and Provence.
4. Make all the “requirements” for the toilet in advance. Is a micro-lift necessary or can it be dispensed with? Is seat heating necessary, or maybe anti-splash equipment is needed? Are rimless models interesting for easier hygiene? The more points that are considered, the easier it will be to make a choice directly in the store.
