Before buying a toilet in the bathroom, be sure to confirm the gap between the pits, otherwise if you buy the wrong toilet, the loss will probably be huge! I have encountered a fan before. I left a 400mm pit distance for my home decoration. When I bought a toilet, I didn’t pay attention to buying a 300mm pit distance. As a result, I stepped on the pit! Not only did the return shipping fee be advanced, but it also delayed the check-in time arrangement, which made the loss a lot!
If the decoration has been completed and the pit distance has been left, you must first measure the pit distance before buying the toilet;
If the bathroom has not yet been decorated with a tube, you can buy the toilet first (determine the pit distance), and then make sure that the decoration workers install the drain pipe according to the toilet pit distance they have bought.
▲Pipe distance: The distance between the center of the sewage pipe and the wall.
The drain pipe in the bathroom may be done by a plumber or a mud worker. If you decorate yourself and look for a worker, remember to communicate clearly who will do it, so as not to get into arguing later.
After determining who makes the drain pipe, the next step is to confirm the pit distance. Common pit distances are standard 300mm and 400mm, and different styles of toilets will have different choices.
▲The common pit distances are 300mm and 400mm.
If you buy a regular toilet, you can leave a pit distance of 300mm or 400mm. There are many styles of ordinary toilets. You can buy it according to the pit distance when buying a toilet;
If you plan to buy smart toilet , it is recommended to see the toilet style in advance and then leave a pit distance according to the preferred style, because some styles of smart toilets only have one specification of pit distance.
▲The pit distance of some smart toilets is only one specification.
Normal operation is the basic hard decoration of the bathroom. Then buy a toilet. However, the style of the toilet can be viewed in advance so that the decoration workers can reserve a suitable pit distance. Therefore, the correct order of decoration of bathroom toilets is: be careful about the toilet style - leave the pit distance according to the toilet style - the bathroom floor tiles are completed - check the pit distance size - buy the toilet and install it.
▲The toilet is first and then, but the pit distance should be kept according to the pre-selected toilet.
4. What situations will affect the toilet pit distance?
①Where is there a sedimentation tank
When there is no sedimentation tank (discharge layer) in the bathroom, the toilet is generally installed according to the pipe position reserved by the developer, and the pit distance is generally fixed.
If the bathroom has layers (drainage on the same level), the toilet pit distance can be controlled independently when decorating the pipe, which is more flexible. However, you should also pay attention to the toilet style in advance and then decorate it to avoid being careless.
▲The sewage drainage is limited, the sewage drainage pipe is drained in a limited manner; the same layer of drainage is drained in a flexible position.
② Toilet displacement
If you want to buy a toilet with different pit distances, or if the bathroom design requires changing the toilet position, you can use toilet shifter . The shifted toilet pit distance can be flexibly adjusted according to the selected style. In addition, it is not recommended to move the toilet too far - it is easy to block. It is recommended to use a high-water tank toilet after the displacement, so that it is more difficult to block if the water is flushed.
▲The toilet position is changed, and the pit distance can be adjusted.
③Floor beam
Some bathrooms with sedimentation tanks will have ground beams (sidually in the sedimentation tank). If the ground beam happens to be near the toilet, it will affect the installation position of the toilet and may interfere with the size of the pit distance.
▲Floor beam may affect the toilet position, and in turn affect the pit distance.
④Wall-mounted toilet
For families who install wall-mounted toilets, they can directly ignore the gap! The installation of wall-mounted toilets is completely different from that of traditional toilets!
▲The problem of wall-mounted toilet has no pit distance.
As a must-have thing for modern people to decorate, the toilet looks similar, but it has different pitfalls. If you are careless when purchasing, you may suffer a loss!
