Not always in the toilet there is an opportunity to install a toilet bowl with a tank. Today there are other possibilities, for example, the installation of a toilet without a tank. We suggest you familiarize yourself with the peculiarities of this plumbing.
How does a toilet without a tank work?
When talking about toilet bowls without a tank, usually mean one of two types:
- a hinged or adjoining toilet bowl, the drain tank of which is simply skilfully hidden behind a wall;
- toilet, in which the role of the tank is carried out by the system.
Each of these varieties is arranged in completely different ways and has its advantages and disadvantages.
Drukspuler, used in place of the traditional tank, is a chrome tube installed next to the toilet or partially mounted in the wall. A toilet with a cuspidor is chosen not only in the absence of space for the tank, but also in spacious bathrooms, decorated in the style of techno, hi-tech or art nouveau.
Separately, it is necessary to describe the system of draining such a toilet bowl without a tank. It is realized due to the difference in pressure in the different chambers of the cartridge. Inside it there is a hole, designed to equalize the pressure. When this happens, the spring is activated, which ensures drainage. At the same time, the same amount of water is always supplied, it is usually 6 liters.
Having installed a toilet bowl with a cuspider, you do not have to wait until the water is in the tank to re-drain the water. However, if the water is unexpectedly turned off in the system, there will not be a drain for such a device. In addition, domestic water supply systems can not always provide adequate water pressure, especially not the upper floors of skyscrapers. Therefore, the installation of such a version of plumbing is not always relevant.
Another type is hinged (cantilever) toilets. The tank, which has the appearance of a plastic container, hides behind the drywall partition, and only the drainage lever is exposed to the outside.
As for the attached toilet bowls without a tank, they are mounted quite easily. The tank is usually hidden in a false wall or a special pedestal. Such a floor toilet without a tank is a kind of averaged option between console and traditional types of toilet bowls.
