Additional items supplied with toilet bowl.
—
Drain tank. The tank in which the water is stored for drainage. By definition comes complete with toilet comps (see. «Type»), although some of these models may have the option «without tank». But the traditional toilet bowls are very rarely sold immediately with a tank for plumbing - it is believed that this element of design in such cases is more convenient to choose separately.
—
Seat with cover. A seat for comfortable placement on the toilet, supplemented by a lid that covers the bowl in «non-working time» and keeps unpleasant odors and harmful microorganisms inside. Both seats and covers are sold separately, but it is more convenient (and sometimes cheaper) to buy them together with the toilet. Especially this configuration can be useful when buying products of non-standard form, to which it is difficult to choose third party accessories.
Weight
The total weight of the product; for compact-toilet (cf. «Type»), as a rule, is specified for standard equipment - together with «native» tank (empty).
When choosing floor models on this indicator you can not pay much attention, but for a hanging toilet bowl (see. «Installation») weight is quite principial: because the installation (or other attachment) should normally withstand both the design and the user sitting on it.
Dimensions (HxWxD)
General dimensions of the toilet bowl in height, width and depth (by depth is meant the distance from the front edge to the rear edge).
These indicators allow you to determine how much space is required to install the product, and also affect some practical points. In this case, width and depth are of key importance. Specific figures and nuances for these dimensions are as follows:
- Width:
up to 35 cm in the narrowest models,
40 cm or more in the widest, intermediate options -
36 - 37 cm and
38 - 39 cm. A large width is desirable if people of large build will use the toilet. However, it should be borne in mind that this dimensions is indicated by the widest part of the structure, and this is not necessarily a bowl - we can talk about a tank.
- Depth:
up to 50 cm - is considered small, in the largest products -
more than 65 cm ; intermediate options include
51 - 55 cm,
56 - 60 cm and
61 - 65 cm. Here the choice depends on the height and physique of the user: tall people and people with long legs will be most comfortable with toilets with great depth.
Height is worth mentioning. In models without a tank, it corresponds to the height of the bowl
..., see more about this indicator above. In compact toilets (see "Type"), the height with the tank is usually indicated, it depends on how much vertical space is required for installation. Here, an indicator of 75 cm or less is considered small, 76 - 80 cm is average, 81 - 85 cm is above average, and for the highest products, more than 85 cm of free space above the floor will be required.
