Toilet installation dimensions

The size of toilet installations is one of the key criteria for choosing such devices. Structurally, they are a frame that forms the basis for the installation of sanitary ware (bowl, tank and additional elements). The system can be fastened either to the toilet floor or to one of the walls. This approach allows you to choose the optimal installation site, save space and hide communications.

In the corresponding segment of the modern market, there is now more than a wide range of considered structures. They all have different dimensions, allowing you to choose the most relevant options in each specific case. The system has several main components. When evaluating the width, height from the floor and thickness of installations, one should take into account the peculiarities of their elements.

The main part of the structure is its body, made of durable steel. It should be borne in mind that this material must undergo anti-corrosion treatment. The installation is attached to the strapping of the toilet bowl, cistern and other devices, if any in the kit. All fasteners are installed in parallel, the list of which includes studs and couplings.

Deserves special attention installation of a cistern, which has certain differences from conventional ceramic models... Taking into account the design features of the installation body, products are used not from ceramics, but high-quality plastic. This allows you to significantly reduce the size and weight of the entire system.

First of all, it is necessary to consider the dimensions of the frame structures for the installation of plumbing fixtures. These values ​​are determined by the dimensions of the following parts of the system.

• Plastic flush cisterns built-in type of most manufacturers have uniform dimensions. Their thickness and width are 500 and 90 mm, respectively.
• The height of the frame structure is between 1020 and 1400 mm. In this case, 200 mm should be buried in the concrete base of the room. Even the lowest installations are not an exception.
• Frame width is 500 mm, and the installation depth ranges from 150 to 300 mm.
• Height from floor to center of toilet flush pipe - 229 mm... To the fixing holes of the sanitary ware bowl - 320 mm.
• The distance between these holes is usually uniform. According to the current standard, it is 180 or 230 mm.

If there is a solid wall in the bathroom, it makes sense to consider options for wall-mounted frame installations. Combined methods of assembling systems deserve special attention. They provide for fastening the structure on two planes at once (horizontal and vertical). But in any case, the choice of a specific option will be determined by the configurations, as well as the dimensions of the room and installation.

One of the main advantages of frame models is the presence of adjustable elements. Most of these systems can be tailored to fit different plumbing niches. Sometimes the installation of toilets has to be done under a window or in other places with limited space. In such cases shortened frames with a height of 850 mm are the best choice. For very small and narrow washrooms, corner models are optimal.

The height of these structures is from 80 to 100 cm, and the depth varies from 100 to 150 mm.... Elements intended for wall mounting have holes for anchor bolts. Most models have them in the corners. However, some manufacturers add additional holes in the middle.

It is worth considering that block installations belong to the category of budget products. In addition, their advantages include ease of installation. After installing the structure, special fittings are attached to it for the subsequent installation of plumbing. It is these components of the system that determine its dimensions.

It is unlikely that it will be possible to securely fix the installation on a wooden floor or foam blocks. It is this factor that significantly reduces the scope of their application.

The correct choice of the brand is the key to the long-term operation of any product at the lowest cost. Analysis of products from different manufacturers requires a certain amount of time. However, this approach is fully justified.

In accordance with numerous reviews of specialists and users, the following brands are the market leaders today.

• Geberit Is a company whose history began with the production of seamless cisterns. The installation frames of this brand, due to their dimensions, allow the installation of plumbing fixtures in rooms with different design features. This includes situations where the distance to the wall is minimal.

• Grohe - a time-tested developer representing Germany on the plumbing systems market. All brand products are made of the most durable steel with a high-quality anti-corrosion coating.

• Viega Is another German company specializing in the production of installation structures.

In addition to the top three, high-quality products of such brands as:

• Cersanit;
• Tece;
• AM PM;
• Roca.

Geberit offers its customers a range of installations called Duofix.Buyers have access to models equipped with cisterns according to their requirements.

For example, the Omega is available in 82, 98 and 112 cm heights.

The Sigma cistern is 112 cm high and only 8 cm thick. Due to such an ultra-thin device, the developers managed to create an installation system with a minimum distance from the wall. And the most affordable is the model designed to install the Delta cistern.

Analyzing the technical characteristics of the products of this manufacturing company, it is worth highlighting Duofix UP320 model. Thanks to its dimensions, it is versatile and compatible with almost all toilet bowls. So, the distance between the mounting pins can vary. within 18-23 cm.

To the main competitive advantages UP320 models from the mentioned collection is the maximum ease of installation. For installation, you do not need to use an additional tool. The installation box is equipped with self-supporting supports that can be set up to a height of 20 cm. The height, width and depth of this structure are 112, 50 and 12 cm.

Another representative of the Duofix model line is the model with the number 458.120.11.1, designed for the above-mentioned Delta cistern model. The developers have provided for a hidden type of installation on false walls made of plasterboard. When deciding on the dimensions of the box, it must be borne in mind that the depth, height and width of the frame are 12, 112 and 50 cm, respectively.

Recently, the products of the German brand Grohe have been produced in Thailand and Portugal. Despite this, its quality remains consistently high, and the client base continues to grow steadily. Among the most popular models of installation frames are Solido-39192000. It is based on a self-supporting frame made of high-strength steel with a high-quality anti-corrosion coating.

The installation can be installed on a wall or floor in front of a plasterboard partition. In accordance with the reviews, this design is distinguished by the convenience of supplying communications. The depth, height and width of the model are 23, 113 and 50 cm. The maximum ease of installation of the frame is due to the presence of fasteners in the delivery set, including for sanitary ware.

Rapid Sl-38721-000 is also one of the most popular Grohe products. It is equipped with a flush cistern with a volume of 6 to 9 liters and has a height of 120 centimeters. The box is mounted in front of a wall or partitions and allows you to quickly adjust the installation of the toilet.

As in the previous case, this system is equipped with fasteners for the installation of plumbing, the distance between which is standard from 18 to 23 cm. The water supply and sewerage can be connected from the more convenient side. The outlet pipe has a size of 9 cm, and the width and depth of the structure are 50 and 16.5 cm, respectively.

There is no strictly defined standard for the dimensions of installation frames. In each case, the choice is made taking into account the dimensions and design features of the toilet room. With enough free space, you can think about installing larger structures, even including a bidet.

If there is a solid wall in the room, it is worth considering block models of installation frames.It is often required to equip a non-standard room in a limited space. In such cases, experts recommend examining the dimensions of the corner structures.

It turns out that it is necessary to choose a box for the subsequent installation of plumbing, taking into account not only personal preferences... In this case, we are also talking about the features of the installation and connection of all products. So, for example, the dimensions of the installation for a built-in toilet are selected taking into account the distance from the bowl to the wall or pieces of furniture. This value must be at least 60 cm, otherwise the use of the toilet will be uncomfortable, since the legs will rest against the mentioned obstacles.

Standard systems are suitable for furnishing larger rooms. In such cases, the bowl is installed 18-20 cm from the box. And the above distance is recommended to be maintained on all sides of the plumbing fixture.

Before purchasing and starting installation, you should carefully study the plan of the toilet or bathroom. This will allow you to choose the most convenient and most suitable place for plumbing and its dimensions. It is worth paying special attention to the following points.

• With the standard installation of the frame near the walls of the toilet room, you can choose both block and frame models... Their dimensions are selected taking into account the dimensions of the plumbing and the room.
• If you need to install a plumbing system in a small room, in the attic or under the window, then small-sized models should be considered. Their height should not exceed 85 cm.
• For installing plumbing on both sides of the box installations with appropriate fixings (double-sided) and dimensions are intended.
• When equipping rooms in which it is necessary to install several wall-hung toilet bowls at oncechoose special installations. We are talking about linear structures with a height of 115 cm.

The vast majority of frames are rectangular. At the same time, they should be chosen taking into account the commensurability of the parameters of the product itself and the niche. In cases where the box is larger, the voids are usually filled with materials that have sound insulation properties.

The standard dimensions of built-in toilet bowls are as follows:

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

While these parameters are standard, they may vary.

It should be remembered that now manufacturing companies offer more than a wide range of models. We can talk about special children's toilet bowls, as well as products with enlarged bowls. In addition, plumbing is produced for people with disabilities and heavy weight. Naturally, all these factors will determine the choice of installation structures and their dimensions.

In addition to all of the above, the size of the cistern should be taken into account. In the overwhelming majority of cases, the thickness of suspended plastic devices is 9.5 cm, and their width is 0.5 m. The height of such tanks, as a rule, is slightly larger than similar parameters of conventional models. This size varies from 55 to 60 cm.

When choosing a frame for the installation of built-in plumbing, you need to remember the design features of various types of systems. So, frame options have a depth in the range of 15-30 cm (more often it is a minimum parameter). In height, such models can be from 85 to 140 cm, and their maximum width is 60 cm.

It is also necessary to consider the following dimensions:

• the center of the sewer pipe is located 22 cm from the level of the floor covering;
• the distance between the mounting holes is 18 to 23 cm.

The minimum dimensions of block installations are, as a rule, identical to those of frame structures. Their depth can be from 10 to 15 cm, and their height - up to 1 meter. It is also necessary to take into account the possibility of separate installation of the built-in cistern and toilet bowl. The latter in such cases is not attached in a niche, but directly to the wall.
