How to install a wall hung toilet: a step-by-step guide

Wall-hung toilets have become increasingly popular due to their sleek appearance and easy cleanup. In addition to providing a modern look to any bathroom, installing a wall hung toilet can also be relatively simple if you follow the right steps. In this video and article, we will provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to install a suspended toilet correctly.

Before you begin, it is important to keep in mind some specific considerations to ensure a successful installation. Be sure to take into account the distance between the studs, as it may vary depending on the model of wall hung toilet. The most common measurement is 180 mm, but in some cases it may be 230 mm. Check this information in the manufacturer's instructions or in the documentation of the toilet to be installed.

Installation of wall hung toilet

Once you have checked and confirmed the distance between the studs, you can follow these steps to install your wall hung toilet:

1. Screw the parts onto the tank studs: Start by screwing the parts onto the tank studs. Make sure that the recess in the part points to the corresponding side to allow easy access later.

2. Slightly screw in the screw: Slightly thread the screw that will later fit into the recesses of the cylindrical pieces previously installed in the cistern. This will facilitate final tightening once you are ready to secure the toilet in place.

3. Install the elbow for the water intake: Connect the elbow to the water inlet according to the manufacturer's instructions. Make sure it is properly secured and sealed.

4. Screw in the toilet fasteners: Thread the toilet fasteners onto the studs, making sure that the head of the screw points into the access holes. In the case of the Antequera model where the installation is made from the same holes used to fix the seat, the recesses should point upwards.

5. Add a protective foam: Place an adapted foam to protect the structure of the cistern. This will help reduce noise and prevent possible damage during use.

6. Attach the toilet: Position the wall hung toilet making sure to properly attach the outlet and drain elbow. Make sure it is level and properly aligned with the connections.

7. Tighten the black screw: Use an Allen wrench to firmly tighten the black screw that you previously left pointing in that direction. Make sure the toilet is securely fastened and has no movement.

Procedure for the installation of the lid of the suspended toilet:

1. Insert the plugs under pressureBefore attaching the cover, insert the snap-in dowels into the corresponding holes. Make sure they are securely fastened and do not move.

2. Position and align the cover: Position the lid and align it with the perimeter of the wall hung toilet. Make sure it is flush on the front and sides for an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

3. Tighten the screws: Once the lid is properly aligned, tighten the screws firmly but do not overtighten. Be sure not to apply too much pressure to avoid damaging the lid or the toilet.

4. Add trims and finish: Remove the cover again and place the steel trims on the screws. In this way, reinstall the cover and make sure that the trims are properly fastened.

And that's it! You have successfully installed a wall hung toilet in your bathroom. Remember to follow the manufacturer's instructions specific to the model you are using, as the steps may vary slightly depending on the design of the wall hung toilet. Enjoy your new modern wall hung toilet and the aesthetic and functional advantages it offers.
