Hidden mounting modules for sanitary pribers are becoming more and more sought after. We answer the most popular questions about them.
In the last decade, plumbing equipment, "soaring over the floor", has become an integral element in the design of bathrooms and toilets. In parallel, there was a tendency to hide all the technical details. For an invisible connection of plumbing to water supply and sewage systems and fastening of the sanfarfora on the wall, as well as for the placement of Bachkov toilet over the wall, a single engineering solution was found - installation systems. In applied to the bathroom under the installation system (s), the fully equipped engineering module (element) is implied, which allows you to connect any plumbing device to water supply and sewage systems, both separately and in the overall integrated system. To do this, you will not have to fine wall, hide communication to the floor. The module can be used both during primary repairs and during the modernization of the bathrooms.
With the help of install modules and additional special profiles, you can safely mount all devices without finable walls
1 What types of installation modules exist?
Installation systems are divided into block and frame. The range of blocks of block systems is limited. Systems of this type (they are also called the "installation kit") are designed to install the toilet bowl on the bearing walls to which they are fastened with anchor bolts. The tank is embedded in the wall.
More universal, fast installation solutions are systems mounted on their own frame. The frame installation is a durable steel frame with an anti-corrosion coating, which is attached to the fittings required for connecting and fastening the installation and placed on it santehpribors. And at the same time, the devices can be placed almost anywhere: traditionally along the wall, in the corner, under the window or entertaining with the help of modules and special additional profiles of the partition full and incomplete height, separating the room to the functional zones.
Installation systems do not limit you with the original four walls and the traditional placement of instruments around the room perimeter, providing freedom in the design of space and choosing equipment
The main advantage of mounted toilet - hygiene, lack of hard-to-reach places. Clean under the device is easy
2 Are there any fundamental differences in modules for installing the toilet, bidet, washbasin?
Each type of modules has its own characteristics. The distinguishing mark of the engineering module for the toilet bowl is an embedded drain tank made of high-quality plastics, which eliminates corrosion. The volume of the tank can be 10 liters. The drain valve supports the single and double flush mode. In place of the drain tank on special holders, connections for mixers are installed in the installations for the bidet and washbasin. In installments for urinal, water for plum is supplied to the upper part of the device (intake headset), and the drainage is carried out from below (exhaust headset). The crane that can work both in automatic and manual mode is responsible for flushing with water intake.
3 Is there a link between the design features of the module and the type of wall on which the device will be installed?
In the choice of the corresponding module should always be "dance" from the wall. Of course, it is better to mount the plumbing to the capital walls. However, frameworks are good, which are intended for installation of console plumbers not only on carriers, but also on light walls and partitions (for example, plasterboard or foam blocks).
4 What are the difference between modules intended for installation of instruments on capital and so-called lightweight walls?
The modules intended for capital walls (wall) are a frame without a support or on two supports that are attached to the floor, the upper part of the frame is additionally attached to the wall. In any case, the module is fixed in four-points with special bolts. Such modules make Geberit, Grohe, Tesse, Friatec, Viega, Sanit, etc. The price of the module for a washbasin is about 5500 rubles, for the toilet - approximately 10-14 thousand rubles.
For installation of devices to lightweight partitions, plasterboard walls, enhanced self-supporting frames are used on very powerful supports, which are reliably fixed only to the concrete floor and take over all loads. Modules are able to withstand the load up to 400 kg. After installing the module, the plumber is mounted on it, the flush key (for toilet) is mounted, the water supply and sewage pipes are connected to the outputs, and the frame itself is closed with panels or build the folder, which is lined with tiles.
Frames for hidden installation in a plasterboard or other lightweight partition, Alcaplast, Ideal Standard, Geberit, Grohe, TES, Viega, Wisa are released. Their cost average is 8500-17 000 rubles.
Attachments make room visually spacious, air. Engineering modules are of different heights.
5 Whether the frame module is needed for mounting the mounted shell. After all, it can be fixed on the wall using brackets?
Previously did it. But without a frame module, it is possible to fix the sink only on the overhaul. Brackets with a washbasin are usually not included. Often they have a non-primary look or are not suitable for this type of shell. When installing on the brackets, eyeliner remains (unless the sink is supplemented with a furniture module, which can be hidden). Rama hides the water supply and sewage pipes. The top of the frame can be turned into a comfortable shelf. The sink is hung on two stiletto installations and firmly attached to it. The price of the shell is about 5 thousand rubles, for the bidet - approximately 9 thousand rubles.

Hinged plumbing has become a breakthrough in bathroom hygiene - floor cleaning now takes less time, and spaces have become visually more
6 And how to get to the drain tank in case of troubleshooting?
Opening the revision hatch (at the shrill key), it is easy to access the tank mechanisms. Through the hatch window you can also adjust the shrink valve, setting the solids of the drain.7 If the capital wall itself is able to carry a significant load, then whether it is impossible to do without installation?
Indeed, the capital wall does not need an empty gain. But the fact is that with the usual installation in the walls, stages are often made for laying water supply and sewage pipes, which is not always possible on the standards standards. The consequences of this installation may be unpredictable, not to mention the fact that this work is dusty and time consuming. The frame module eliminates similar difficulties. Everything you need to connect and mounting are fixed to the wall through the mounting profile, which becomes an intermediate carrier element between the wall and the device.
With the help of engineering modules, complete bathroom equipment can be performed. For each case there is a solution
8 When modernizing typical baths, non-standard situations often occur. Are frame modules provided for solving them?
In addition to universal frames, manufacturers have developed special modules for non-standard cases. So, Geberit has released a plattenbau mounting kit on the Russian market, which facilitates the installation of the console toilet to the plumbing mine, where sewage, hot and cold water supply are located. When modernizing typical baths, including at the lateral location of the sewer rim, narrow mounting modules 38, 41, 45 cm wide (Geberit, Wisa) are relevant. If there is not enough place to height, use special shortened frames. They are presented, for example, in the ECO RLUS series (Viega). Their height is only 63 cm.

9 Are there any special frame modules for mounting the device in the angle?
When upgrading the bathroom often the need to deploy the toilet to the angle. In this case, you can use angular engineering modules (for example, Geberit, Viega). A tank resembling a trothed prism is also adapted to integrate in the corner. It is possible to install the device in an angle using the same standard direct modules that are equipped with special angular brackets that allow the frame to be deployed at an angle of 45 ° to the walls.
10 Is it possible to choose and fix the desired height when installing the instruments?
Yes. For this, retractable support legs of installations of many manufacturers are equipped with self-absorption mechanism and have labels that allow to align plumbing. The height of the fixing devices can be changed within 200 mm. The top edge of the toilet or bidet must be located at an altitude of 400-430 mm from the level of the first floor, and the washbasin is 800-850 mm. After the fastening height of the device is exhibited, the device should be fixed.Hinged plumbing (cantilever devices) not only looks easier, but also requires significantly less time and efforts to clean the room
11 And if it is necessary to maneuver the height of the device after installation under the individual needs of all family members?
Today there are such engineering modules that are able to provide personal height of the device and small children, and their parents of different growth, users of old age or with the problems of the musculoskeletal system. We are talking about VIEGA ECO Plus modules, the distinctive feature of which is to adjust the height of the device using the mechanical button.
By pressing it, it is possible to change the height of the laying of the toilet in the range of 40-48 cm without effort. And the height of the installation of the washbasin is individually adjusted within 20 cm, lifting and lowering the device from 70 to 90 cm (from the floor level). To do this, click on the button to unlock the mechanism; Press your hands to the device by setting the required position, and fix the height by clicking on the button again (in the case of a washbasin) or releasing the button (in the case of a toilet). The width of the washbasins should not exceed 70 cm, and the mass is 21 kg.

12 Is it necessary to buy a device and frame module of one manufacturer?
Buy everything complete is very convenient. Nevertheless, in Europe, everything has long been unified and products of various firms are combined with each other.

Numbers on a note
- There are two sizes of distances between the mounting holes of console toilet bowls and a bidet: 180 and 230 mm. For urinals and shells there are no restrictions - installation systems intended for them allow you to place studs for fastening at any distance.
- All engineering modules are equipped with nozzles to connect to sewer pipes with a diameter of 90 and 110 mm and a transitional coupling for docking with Santechpribor. In the installation itself, a pipe with a diameter of 90 mm is used. To connect the shells, bidet and urinals to the mounting frame fittings, the siphon will be required (as a rule, sold separately).
- The installation of the installation module allows you to adjust the depth in the range of 125-185 mm when installing the toilet bowl. This happens enough to embed the device in a niche or partition of different thickness.
Sergey Kozhevnikov, Technical Director, Geberit Rus:
Most users consider to repair a typical toilet - it means to replace the old toilet compact the same, only new. Especially afraid of installation in a plumbing mine in conditions of limited access and the presence of pipes. These fears are unreasonable. A wide range of installation modules allows you to solve any tasks. So, for the apartment in a typical Russian high-rise building the best solution can be the installation element Geberit "Plattenbau". Fastening to the wall in it have a length of 50 cm, and in the upper bar, special extended holes are made. They allow you to secure the mounting element in the place where the pipes do not interfere.
With the help of engineering modules you can zonate space, installing devices anywhere in the bathroom
Important component
The panel or the plum button is a mandatory part of the installation for the toilet. This item may have different modifications: with the "Wash-stop" mode; In this case, the flushing can be stopped by repeatedly pressing the panel; With two options for washing (economical, providing for draining half of the tank, and a common with full drainage); Contactless, which are powered by infrared rays. Washbar panels may vary by material, color and design, often they are a real ornament of the toilet or bathroom.
