Corner mount

Toilets designed to accommodate in the corner of the room (so the person will sit on such a toilet with his back to the corner). Note that such placement is theoretically possible for most floor products (cf. «Installation»). However, there are models of toilet bowls, specially designed for corner installation and having a special shape of the back - for these models and this feature is specified.

Accommodation in the corner may be the best option in some situations - first of all in cramped conditions, where there are relatively few places under the toilet. On the other hand, such situations occur relatively infrequently, so that «corner» products have not been distributed.

Drain (to the sewer)

The design of the outlet pipe of the toilet bowl. It determines, in particular, the features of its installation. To date, there are such options:

Horizontal. In such toilets, the outlet pipe is located at the back of the bowl and is oriented horizontally backwards. This is one of the most common types in Europe and the post-Soviet space - it is due to the fact that sewer pipes in these countries are drawn along the floors, and the pipe in the bathroom is usually located under the wall, behind the toilet.

Oblique. In fact - a kind of horizontal release (see above), in which the outlet pipe is not strictly horizontal, but at an angle (usually 30° or 45°). It will be useful in the case that the sewer pipe is low, near the floor.

Vertical. As the name suggests, in these toilets the output is directed vertically down. They are mainly used in the United States and other American countries, where in the construction of communications, e.g. sewerage, conducted under the floor (ceiling) without taking into account the partitions - as a result, the toilet can be placed directly above the pipe. This layout is also found in the post-Soviet space, in particular in office and production premises, as well as in residential buildings on individual projects.

Universal. The universal release design allows it...to be connected to one of the three above options, depending on the specific need. Most often, the output of such toilets is hidden inside, and its own nozzle is absent; for connection selected separate pipe of the desired shape, it can go vertically, horizontally or at an angle.

It should be noted that it is theoretically possible to install a toilet with horizontal release in the bathroom under the vertical, and vice versa - but in practice, this is very difficult and actually requires the reconstruction of the toilet. And therefore, before choosing a toilet, you must clarify the design of sewer pipes in your bathroom and the most suitable type of outlet.

Bowl shape

The overall shape of the toilet bowl.

The choice of this parameter largely depends on the aesthetic preferences of the user and the overall design of the bathroom; however, the shape of the bowl is quite practical. So, in our time, the most common is semicircular models, where the rear edge of the bowl is made straight, and the rest - rounded (oval, egg-like, etc.). This shape not only looks good - it is convenient to sit on, and the absence of angles (at least in front of the bowl) facilitates cleaning and reduces the risk of hitting the toilet with your foot. In addition, material on such a bowl requires less than a rectangular product of similar dimensions - as a result, semi-circular toilet bowls are relatively inexpensive and light.

The rectangular shape, in turn, gives a larger support area, which is important for users of large physique. However, toilet bowls classical rectangular shape are rare (due to the high cost of production, as well as for some other reasons). Much more common are variations on this topic - the bowls , with bevelled (rounded) corners, as well as , with the front end shaped arc.

Drain tank volume

The working volume of the flush tank installed on the toilet-compact (cf. «Type») or supplied with a classical model; in other words - the amount of water contained in the tank.

The current standard volume value is 6 litres; it is believed that this capacity provides an optimal balance between water consumption, drain efficiency and compact design. However, there are also toilet bowls with a reduced tank - less than 6 l (usually 4 - 5 l). This feature saves water and reduces the size of the tank; and to ensure the efficiency of the flush, various additional devices can be provided in the design. As a result, such toilets may cost more than full-size tanks; however, if the water in the bathroom comes from meters, the difference in price quickly pays off.

It should be noted that, in addition to the reduced tank, such features as a half drain (cf. «Functions and Capabilities») and a safe design (cf. above) contribute to the savings.

Water supply

Location of the pipe for supplying water to the toilet bowl. Modern toilets contain lateral, rear and bottom water supply. In the first two types of pipes are located at the top of the tank, and the choice between side and rear supply in practice depends mainly on the location of pipes in the head and, accordingly, the convenience of connection. The bottom line is considered the most modern option: it provides a minimum level of noise when filling the tank, in addition to being easy to conceal, thus ensuring aesthetics.

Some models in our catalogue have combined signs of supply -«side/ bottom» or «side/ rear». This can mean both a versatile device, with the ability to select the type of connection, and a model produced in several variations different type of supply.

Functions

Among the basic functions of the toilet, one can single out circular flush of water in the bowl, half flush, antibacterial coating, anti- splash, micro-lift of the seat. More about them:

— Vortex flush (in the bowl). In toilets with a vortex flush, water flows from holes under the rim and sequentially washes the entire bowl through the formation of a characteristic water vortex. Jets of water can be directed from the outlets straight or at a slight angle: the first option is called swirling, the second – shower. The advantages of a vortex flush are low water consumption, high-quality cleaning of the toilet, absence of splashes and minimal noise levels. However, sanitary equipment with such a flush system are often more expensive than traditional solutions.

- Half drain. The ability to drain from the tank not all the water, but only a part, usually half (hence the name). It is due to the fact that a complete drain is not always required - for example, half a tank is enough to flush urine even in toilet bowls with a plate bowl (see "Bowl Shape"). This function will be useful primarily for those for whom water saving is critical (for example, if meters are installed in the apartment).

- Anti-splash. The anti-splash system prevents water splashing on the sides when the water is drained...from the tank. Anti-splash toilets have a special bowl design. In them, the bowl is inclined, the water flowing down the inclined plane from the tank immediately goes into the sewer drain. The "anti-splash" function allows you to increase the level of hygiene and sanitation in the restroom. Toilets with an anti-drain system also have disadvantages. The main disadvantage of such models is the increased water consumption.

— Seat microlift. A device that prevents the toilet seat from hitting the rim of the bowl. It works similar to door closers: the movement of the seat is slowed down, slowing down as much as possible when approaching the rim, which ensures soft contact, prevents unpleasant popping and protects the seat and rim from damage and wear. In addition, the microlift provides additional convenience - you just need to push the seat, and it will lower itself.

In box

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.

Toilet material

Sanitaryware(“sanitary faience”). The most common material for modern toilets, at a low cost, has a neat appearance, is durable and reliable. The main disadvantage is the porous structure, which contributes to the accumulation of dirt and odors (although recently technologies have been applied to eliminate this disadvantage). The service life of such material in modern toilets can reach 40 years.

Sanfarfor(“sanitary porcelain”). Like sanitary ware, it belongs to ceramic materials, however, with similar strength and appearance, it absorbs water and dirt much less easily, due to which it has a longer service life - up to 60 years. However, sanitary porcelain is also more expensive.

- Stainless steel. The key advantage of “stainless steel” is its high strength: this material can easily withstand even strong impacts that can crack sanitary porcelain or sanitaryware. On the other hand, such toilets are not cheap, despite the fact that the mentioned strength in reality is not needed so often. Therefore, it makes sense to pay attention to this option in cases where reliability and resistance to damage are of key importance - for example, if plumbing fixtures are purchased for a stadium, bar, etc., and must be vandal-resistant.

- Ceramics. These or other types of ceramics that either do not belong to the sanitary porcelain or sanitary ware described above, or represent specific v...arieties of these materials. The specific features of ceramic toilets should be clarified separately; however, for the most part these are quite advanced and high-quality products.

Moreover, each of the listed materials may additionally have a special antibacterial toilet coating that prevents the growth and reproduction of bacteria. It significantly improves the hygiene of use, but affects the price.

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.
