How to re-equip a small typical bathroom, in which the units are barely placed, closely adjacent to the plumbing mine, so that as a result, even a modest size of the room has become modern requirements?

To make this room more comfortable, hygienic and aesthetic, you just need to replace the floor toilet with mounted (console). For this purpose, it is necessary to use a special mounting element (it is also called installation). It is a metal frame that combines the drain tank and the entire engineering strapping. The mounting element connects to the engineering networks, then closes with a decorative falseland, and the attachment is mounted on it. The mounting elements in the residential sector are installed in front of the santehchechta, the capital wall or flow into the sanitary drywall partition with space for communications. They are easy to install and allow not only to raise the plumbing above the floor, but also hide all the technical details, arrange the devices along the wall or in any other place, design the bathroom for people with disabilities. For each case, you can find an engineering solution. We will talk about the installation of mounted toilet on the place of an outdoor compact, closely adjacent to the wall of the plumbing mine.

In front of the capital wall
To install the mounted toilet, not before the plumbing mine, you can use standard mounting elements intended for capital walls, as a steel frame that has two supports for fastening to the floor and two - for fixing to the wall (part of the load from the weight of the user and the toilet) is on it) . They are released by Geberit, Grohe, Friatec, Viega, Sanit, Tece, Wisa, Cersanit, etc. Such modules are an average of 13-18 thousand rubles.

Special system
If the mounting element is installed in front of the plumbing mine, it is best to use not standard, and a special mounting kit, since typical fastenings of length not more than 200 mm in this case will be too short, because the depth of the plumbing mine reaches 480 mm. In addition, there are risers and eyeliners between the frame and the capital wall, which should be circumvented. In addition, standard mounting elements for attachments (even high-tech) distance between the attachments are usually fixed, and the lumen between the pipes can "not coincide" with it. We will have to acquire additional devices and already with their help to perform installation.

It was much easier to implement the idea of modernizing a typical bathroom, when the installation kit developed by Geberit has appeared on the Russian market specifically for our standard bathrooms. He got the name of the RLATTENBAU, which means "panel construction". This is a ready-made solution that includes a mounting element, a set for connecting to sewage, a flush key, as well as a special mount, which facilitates the installation of the system in front of the plumbing mine. The advantage of the RLATTENBAU in front of the standard mounting elements is the ability to adapt to any installation conditions. So, the length of the studs for fastening the frame is 500 mm, which means they will reach the back of the mine. The fastening of the spree on the frame is not fixed - in the upper bar of the module, the slots are provided for which the elements are shifted to the right or left, up or down. Such a system allows you to arrange studs so that they do not interfere with the pipes.

Benefits of installing modules
The design allows you to:
- equip the bathroom in accordance with modern design requirements;
- speed up and simplify installation;
- securely secure plumbing over the floor;
- hide the toilet bowl and lining tank;
- Set the flush button in a convenient place;
- maximize the space;
- reduce the noise level during water drain;
- Without efforts to contain in the purity of mounted toilet and the floor around it, because there is no hard-to-reach jet space and the dirt and moisture do not accumulate around the support.
