A toilet is a sanitary device installed in bathrooms and equipped with an automatic or semi-automatic flushing system designed to remove defecation and urination products.
1 - Flush cistern cover.
2 - Flushing cistern.
3 - Toilet seat cover.
4 - Toilet seat rim.
5 - Toilet bowl.
6 - Hygienic shower.
7 - Water drain handle.
A Flushing cistern is designed to supply water from the pipeline for cleaning the toilet bowl. The filling mechanism and the release mechanism are mounted inside.
A float valve is used to fill the toilet, which closes when the required water level is reached.
In the depth of the toilet bowl, there is a siphon (provides a hydraulic seal for gases generated and accumulated in the sewer system), which then smoothly passes into the "outlet".
It comes with a shared cistern (standard), free-standing toilets, Genoa bowls (Turkish toilets).
It is assumed that there is a hidden cistern (installation) in the wall or a drain system without a cistern. In a flush system without a cistern, flushing is carried out directly with water from the water supply system, without accumulation in the cistern.
It is undesirable to attach a wall-hung toilet to a plasterboard base. Wall-mounted toilets are made only with oblique or horizontal discharge into the drain.
Pros and cons of wall-hung toilets.
Pros:
- Looks good.
- Easy to wash the floor.
- Saves space.
Cons:
- Expensive cost.
- Complex installation.
- Hard to service.
By the type of release, toilet bowls are with vertical, horizontal, and oblique outlets. The choice of the required design depends on the location of the sewer entrance.
The horizontal outlet is used to lay sewer pipes, usually along walls (or partitions). Toilets with a horizontal outlet are generally installed against the wall, at right angles to it.
"Vertical" release allows you to install a plumbing unit at any point in the room and hide the pipelines using floor and ceiling-facing materials.
"Oblique" release. Since the pipe runs at an angle and not straight (as in the horizontal version), the risk of leaks and clogging of the toilet is significantly reduced.
Traditionally, two types of sinks are distinguished:
Toilet bowls are made from all materials that can withstand temperature extremes and abrasives: ceramics, metal, natural and artificial stone, plastic.
An electrical network powers them.
Modern smart toilets have several different functions:
