How to connect a cuff (straight and eccentric) for a toilet?

An eccentric for a toilet bowl is a cuff that comes in different types, allowing installation for direct and complex connections.

When installing a toilet, it is necessary to ensure that the entrance to the sewer is sealed.

Connection requires a set of parts:

• accessories;
• float;
• siphon;
• eccentric (cuff).

Due to the design of the cuff, there is no need to use sealed means, with the exception of old cast iron communications.

An eccentric for a toilet bowl is a mandatory part when installing equipment.

Why change the cuff?

Anyone can replace the toilet cuff themselves. The reason for replacement may be wear of the eccentric or replacement of the plumbing unit with a new one. It's time to change when, when connecting the toilet outlet and the main system, leaks or an unpleasant odor form.

Standard replacement procedure

1. You should visually inspect the plumbing outlet and sewer outlet for foreign matter.
2. Then you need to wipe these places dry and free them from the old eccentric.
3. Apply silicone along the entire diameter of the eccentric in the place where the joint will be formed.
4. Seal the joint between the sewer and connection pipes.
5. Then the cuff is put on the sewer, and the other end on the outlet of the plumbing unit, so that there is an overlap (overlap) of at least 1.5-2 cm.

Prevention

Preventative maintenance of the toilet does not only involve caring for the earthenware surface. To prevent the sewer from clogging, use special chemicals to dissolve fatty deposits in the pipes. You can try pouring several buckets of hot water into the toilet. The main thing is not to use the toilet instead of a garbage disposal.

To install and connect the tank to the sewer and water supply system, you do not need to graduate from university. To do this you need to have the necessary tools and experience. If you have neither the tools nor the experience, entrust this work to plumbers.

Removing an old toilet

The initial step is to dismantle the old device and it does not matter which installation method will be used. Dismantling work of the old device:

Dismantling work of the old device:

Disconnection from the water supply. First of all, you need to shut off the water supply to the drain tank. Next, drain off any remaining liquid. Now unscrew the water supply hose. Unscrew the fasteners. The tank has several fasteners, mostly they are made of plastic and can be easily unscrewed, but in some situations the fasteners may be metal. To unscrew the metal fasteners you need to take an adjustable wrench and a screwdriver. Press the top of the bolt with one hand and unscrew the nut with the other. Often these bolts are installed on older models and can rust. These bolts are difficult to unscrew. To make it easier for you to carry out this action, you need to lubricate the threads with kerosene or use a modern anti-rust product, WD-40. Upon completion, remove the drain tank. Unscrew the toilet from the floor. Disconnect it from the sewer and remove the corrugated hose. If the house is of an old type, then the toilet is connected to the sewer without corrugation, and at the connection point it is covered with mortar. In this case, the solution must be broken with a hammer and chisel. Then you need to turn the toilet and it should come out of the pipe

Now we tilt the device and drain all the residue from it. Important! Don't forget to cover the hole in the pipe with any material, otherwise there will be an unpleasant smell.

This is how dismantling of old plumbing fixtures is carried out. Now we’ll tell you how to install a toilet with your own hands.

Positive and negative aspects of installing a wall-hung toilet.

Before you decide to install a wall-hung toilet, you need to consider the main pros and cons regarding this issue.

Positive aspects of the installation include:

• saving space occupied by the device;
• lack of an impressively sized drain leg;
• faint noise from water draining;
• extremely easy to care for.

However, we must not forget that installing a toilet with the designated design also carries a number of disadvantages, among which the following points stand out:

• the need to mount the flush cistern inside a wall or niche (otherwise the size of the projection of a wall-hung toilet will not differ from that of a standard floor-standing device);
• the likelihood of movement of sewer and water pipes;
• the need to create a special recess for the cistern.

Customer Reviews

Vanya, Moscow : “The cascade eccentric came to the rescue when we bought a toilet, not taking into account the height of the drain hole: it was 6 cm higher than the sewerage inlet. Installed without problems, looks aesthetically pleasing, does not leak. No sealant was used."

Roma, Moscow : “After the expiration date, the cuff had to be urgently replaced. Previously there was a rubber one, I took a combined eccentric one with corrugation at the ends. The flexible corrugation helped to quickly deal with the problem. I protected myself with silicone sealant, no leaks were observed.”

Zhenya, Moscow : “Some are afraid that flushed solid waste may get stuck in the eccentrics due to the bends. I can say for sure that their statements are baseless. A year of using this cuff did not reveal any complaints: the flush is good, there are no blockages. Maybe they flushed something that doesn’t dissolve down the toilet?”

Criterias of choice

Rubber product

The upcoming installation of a toilet in a bathroom or repair work to eliminate drain leaks requires the selection of high-quality parts. To do this, it is recommended to decide on:

• material;
• length;
• appearance.

Polypropylene eccentrics are a reliable option. The material is durable and moisture resistant. With proper operation, leaks will not form within 3-5 years. Rubber parts are less preferable. This material stretches over time. Its density is disrupted, as a result of which the tightness decreases. However, rubber seals at the ends of the cuff are the main element contributing to high moisture resistance.

Size is the main thing to pay attention to. If the diameters of the inlet and outlet rings meet the standards, then the length is selected depending on the location of the toilet in relation to the sewer pipe. For a non-standard method of placing a plumbing fixture, a stepped option is used. This guarantees a perfect “fit” of the part. A corrugated cuff will also work. Moreover, the corrugation should not be short: if it is tightened, it loses its elasticity. It is recommended that a product that is greatly stretched due to an incorrectly selected length be strengthened in a straightened form with additional fasteners. A corrugation that is too long will sag and the water will not drain completely.

External characteristics - the white color of the material, in harmony with the bowl, the smooth surface of the cylinder without burrs and scratches - are no less important. The overall impression of the aesthetics of the toilet room directly depends on the appearance of the elements.

Tips for attaching adapters

Before choosing a cuff, be sure to check the distance from the toilet outlet to the sewer pipe. Sometimes the installation process is disrupted only because the length of the eccentric is 2 cm less than necessary.

If you choose a corrugated pipe, check the degree of stretch. It may not be enough for a complex connection case or connection to a pipe located at a long distance

Elongated corrugation is prone to sagging, so additional fasteners will be required to give it a straight look. Sharp corners and strong bends are the causes of frequent blockages.

In addition to the length and shape of the cuffs, pay attention to the thickness of the walls. The higher this indicator, the longer the device will last.

Before purchasing plumbing fixtures, analyze the condition of the sewer system, and then you can choose a model with the desired type of outlet and decide on the toilet installation scheme.

Installation or replacement of the eccentric

Sequence of actions when installing an eccentric

Installing the cuff is one of the required steps. The element will need to be replaced when leaks appear - a signal that the old part is worn out. The stages of work in both cases are identical.

When replacing, the first step will be to clean the connecting surfaces: the sewer pipe pipe and the drain outlet of the bowl. After this, all elements are thoroughly dried - this will ensure the tightness of the connection of the parts.

Then proceed directly to installing the eccentric. A marker on the floor marks the location of the toilet. Afterwards, it is moved to the side for ease of installation of the cuff. The part with the seal inside is fixed to the sewer pipe.

The next step is to return the toilet to the place marked with a marker and connect the other end of the cuff to the sewer pipe. If the size is chosen correctly, there will be no problems with installation. The structure will lock in place without much effort. When working with a non-standard drain shape, the corrugated part of the cuff is carefully rotated to the desired position, trying not to damage the integrity of the surface.

The application of sealant in order to increase the strength of the fastening is carried out immediately before attaching one and then the other end of the cuff. However, some craftsmen do not consider it necessary to use silicone sealant, arguing that the quality of modern eccentric cuffs does not require increasing their moisture resistance.

After the composition has dried, at least half an hour should pass. To make sure the structure is tight, several buckets of water are poured into the bowl, and paper is placed under the connecting seams. If after checking no leaks are found, the plumbing fixture is secured to the floor with screws.

How to seal pipes

Rubber sealant for sewer pipes is used most often.
The sequence of installation work depends on whether the internal or external sewage system is being installed. When arranging an internal pipeline, installation consists of the following stages: The connection is sealed, now the pipeline is ready for operation. It should be remembered that if silicone sealant is used, it should not be applied to the outside of the sewer pipe.

If sealing of the external pipeline is required, installation work is carried out in the following sequence:

• the sealing compound is applied to the inner surface of the rubber cuff;
• the fitting is put on the pipe;
• When the sealant hardens, you can connect the pipeline.

Sealing sewer pipe connections is an important step when performing sewer installation work. It is at the joints that blockages, leaks and other unpleasant problems most often form, which help reduce the service life of the sewer system. You can prevent any problems if you follow the advice of professionals and carry out all work carefully and diligently.

In order for the sewer system to function efficiently and effectively, it must be installed correctly. It’s easier for residents of multi-storey buildings who install only an internal pipeline. But owners of country mansions will have to take care of laying external sewerage and arranging an autonomous system.

Sewage installation consists of several stages:

• drawing up a sewer system project;
• procurement of materials;
• pipe connection;
• sealing joints;
• sealing connections.

Sealing sewer pipes is necessary to avoid leaks and breakthroughs during system operation. Most often, rubber cuffs are used to seal the joints of plastic sewer pipes. Seals prevent water from getting in or out and protect the sewer from the penetration of insects and small rodents. High-quality sealed connections are a guarantee of long-term and efficient functioning of the sewer system.

Connection technology

After a certain period of operation, the eccentric may fail. Therefore, in addition to the initial installation of the toilet, after a while you will need to replace the cuff.

Damaged and burst elements are unable to cope with their functions, which leads to leaks.

Easy connection

If the system is old, a straight or tapered piece will do in most cases.

The work is easy to do with your own hands, in several stages, including preparation:

1. Cleaning the outlet pipe and outlet. You can use special products designed for thorough treatment of plumbing fixtures and its internal parts. It is better to choose soft compositions, without aggressive substances that can corrode the material. All devices must be degreased.
2. The prepared devices must be allowed to dry, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve high-quality sealing.
3. After preliminary measurements, a suitable cuff is purchased. If the pipes are old, cast iron, it is recommended to additionally treat the internal and external surfaces of the adapter with silicone acriplast.
4. One part of the eccentric is put on the bowl drain. There is no need to apply force, as the seal will automatically create a maximum seal. If a sealant is used, you need to give it time to harden.
5. The second end is inserted into the drain.

With correctly selected parameters and modification of the cuff, a fixed position is quite easy to achieve.

Connection for multi-level releases

If the outlet from the equipment and the entrance to the riser are at different distances from the floor, only an eccentric corrugation is suitable, since it can easily combine the two elements due to its flexibility.

The installation principle is identical to connecting a straight cuff. Involves preparation, cleaning of internal surfaces and fastening.

In this case, you will need to handle the adapter carefully. When inserting, you need to bend the device carefully so as not to damage it.

Work is carried out before attaching additional elements. This will help you install the device quickly and without interference.

Connection for low tank height

In modifications of the toilet with the location of the flush equipment at a short distance from the floor, installing the eccentric will be difficult. But if you wish, you can also do it yourself.

The adapter is put on the front part of the tank attachment plate from the end of the smaller diameter, approximately a third of the length. The remaining cavity will include the neck of the bowl and the inter-end step.

In this place, careful fixation is required, for which steel wire is usually used. The corrugation must be slowly rotated and bent to the specified position.

The shelf is mounted to the toilet using fasteners.

The device is combined with the sewer outlet pipe. Despite the tightness of the internal seals, it is recommended to additionally tighten them with wire for reliability.

If the tank is low?

There are also cases when the tank is located too low. This is a problem, but not so strong that it cannot be solved.

1. The first step is to put the cuff between the tank and the toilet on the end of the toilet extension shelf.
2. Then, using a wire, we fix the eccentric in a stationary state.
3. After this, we unscrew the rubber part and attach the attached shelf to the toilet with bolts.
4. We pull the eccentric onto the outlet pipe of the sink. Using sealant, we coat the joint with it and, tightening it with wire, fasten the cuff.
5. After this, you should perform a test run to make sure there are no leaks. As with any plumbing connections, the bathroom must be installed hermetically.

Silicone sealants

silicone sealant
Silicone sealants are used to fill cracks and cavities to seal and protect against various environmental factors, as well as to glue different surfaces together.

At room temperature, the sealant hardens and turns into rubber. This sealant is waterproof!

What kind of sealant is needed for a toilet?

If the toilet is white, then it is better to use white sealant rather than transparent. The sanitary sealant contains special anti-fungal additives that prevent the appearance of fungus, mold and other microorganisms on its surface.

How long does it take for silicone to dry?

Silicone sealants are neutral and acidic. The most common are neutral, they dry for about 24 hours at a temperature of 5-40 degrees Celsius and at normal humidity. Acid sealants are cheaper and dry faster (4-6 hours).

How to remove old sealant?

The cleaner will soften the sealant and its residue can be removed either with a spatula (plastic) or a glass scraper. Instead of Soudal cleaner, you can use pure gasoline (Galosh), white spirit, vinegar + warm water. After removing the sealant, wash off its remains with soapy water and finish with clean rags + water.
