The distance of the toilet from the adjacent wall, the height of the toilet valve and the size of the pipes, etc., are a set of important features that must be taken into account for installing the toilet. In addition to the above, there are some important standards and steps in toilet installation, which failure to pay attention to may lead to problems such as water and sewage leakage from the toilet bowl. NUTech Plumbing Company, one of the oldest companies which is expert in the field of plumbing in Richmond Hill, continues to answer questions such as how far should the toilet be from the adjacent wall? How far should the toilet be from the back wall (ex-toilet) and the opposite wall? What tools are needed to install a toilet? And what options are included in the installation process? We will answer.
The distance between the toilet and the back wall (toilet axis)
One of the most important things for choosing a toilet is Aux (the distance from the back wall to the center of the outlet pipe). At the time of building sewage piping, the outlet pipe intended for the toilet is installed at a certain distance from the back wall, which is called Aux. Aux floor toilets are different based on the size and shape of the toilet and are in the range of 12 cm to 30 cm. Therefore, if, for example, the Aux of the outlet pipe (the distance from the back wall to the center of the pipe) is 18 cm, you have the right to choose a toilet with an Aux of 12 to 18 cm, and you cannot buy a toilet with a higher Aux. We suggest that before buying and installing the toilet, you must pay attention to its Aux (distance between the toilet and the back wall) and read the product guide at the time of purchase to know the exact and standard size.
The distance between the toilet and the adjacent wall
For correct and completely standard installation of all types of toilet, it is necessary to pay attention to the distance of the toilet from the adjacent and opposite wall. Based on a general standard and according to the type of toilet, it is necessary to consider a distance of 15 inches from the center of the toilet bowl to the adjacent wall and 21 inches from the front door. The distance between the toilet and the adjacent wall or any other object around it is better to consider about 15 inches. This distance is the minimum value and largely depends on the size and dimensions of the bathroom space and the location of the toilet.
The height of the toilet faucet
After accurately determining the distance of the toilet from the adjacent, back and front wall, it is necessary to calculate the height of the toilet valve. To calculate the height of the toilet faucet, it is necessary to move 6 inches to the right and finally 7 inches from the center of the toilet bowl on the wall.
Toilet pipe size
In addition to the above, it is necessary to correctly determine the size of the toilet pipe. According to the general structure of toilets and the standards used in its different parts, the diameter of the toilet pipe is 110 mm. In addition to the diameter, when choosing the size of the toilet pipe, it is also necessary to pay attention to its length. The length of the pipe is equal to the distance of the toilet from the back wall, which will be about 30 cm. Note that this size means the distance of the ceramic or tile on the wall to the center of the toilet, and we will not include the baseboard in this measurement.
