Designed to connect the toilet to the sewer pipeline system.
The sliding toilet flush is manufactured by the UK manufacturer Mcalpine, which has long been one of the leaders in the production of sanitary products in the world. The Mcalpine WC-F20P toilet corrugation is made in accordance with all necessary GOST quality standards, both European and Russian standards, and is confirmed by certificates of quality and compliance.
Corrugation Mcalpine (Makalpain) WC-F20P for the toilet has a number of advantages:
Mcalpine WC-F20P corrugation is made from polypropylene. Inlet hole of the toilet insert: 97-107 mm. Outlet opening of the insert into the sewer: 90-110 mm. Having such characteristics, the corrugation can be connected to most types of modern toilets and sewer pipeline regardless of their size.
Non-pressure plastic corrugations greatly simplify the process of connecting plumbing equipment to the sewer system. Previously, socket pipes made of cast iron (including their fittings) were used for this purpose, which were regulated by GOST 6942-98. Now they are confidently being replaced by plastic fittings, which have undeniable advantages.
It should be noted that modern socketless pipes (both pressure and non-pressure), as well as high-pressure ductile steel products, have a special inner layer that makes it possible to increase their specifications. Examples include the products of Pam-Global, Duker, and SML.
The corrugation for the toilet bowl is much better than cast iron products, since it weighs less, the price is lower, the service life is longer, cleaning such fittings is not difficult; connecting a cast iron pipe to a plastic one does not require chasing and fittings. In addition, if after renovation the floor level in the bathroom changes (as a result of which the toilet bowl rises), replacing the corrugation will not be necessary.
Please note that the corrugated plastic pipe is intended only for external installation, it cannot be embedded in the wall; cast iron or metal pipe fittings are used for this purpose.
Before you buy a corrugated pipe for connecting a toilet, you need to decide on its type and size. It makes sense to consider this issue in more detail.
Kinds.
The corrugations used to connect the toilet may differ in the following parameters:
Dimensions.
Despite the fact that corrugated pipes used to connect various plumbing equipment may have a diameter of 50, 100 or 200 mm, the dimensions of corrugated toilet bowls are usually standard. The figure below shows where and to what extent discrepancies can occur.
Purchasing corrugation with the necessary parameters will not be a problem; there are many chains of specialized stores selling plumbing equipment. Moreover, they exist in almost any city, be it Pyatigorsk or Chelyabinsk.
We remind you that a quality product always has a certificate of conformity; of course, the cost of counterfeit products is much lower, but such dubious savings can lead to the need for expensive repairs. Beware of retail chains that sell counterfeit products.
Once you have made your choice, you can begin the installation process, which usually begins with dismantling the old plumbing equipment.
Before installing the corrugation and connecting it to the new toilet, it is necessary to dismantle the old one. For this work, you need to stock up on rags and prepare a bucket (or better yet, several).
Sequence of actions in the preparatory process:
Now you can proceed directly to dismantling. It is necessary to immediately warn that if the toilet has been in use for a long time, then there is a high probability that it has a reliable “grounding”, that is, it is cemented. If this is the case, it will be difficult to remove it without damaging it, and when the neck of the toilet bowl is also sealed with rags and paint, it is almost impossible.
In such a situation, you will need to strike a strong blow with a hammer or sledgehammer to the neck of the toilet in order to split it. The vibration created by the impact affects the cemented base of the structure, which will help in operation.
Important! Do not hit the sewer pipe, especially if it is made of cast iron. This fragile material may chip or crack. Please note that it will not be possible to repair such a crack; as a result, before installing the corrugation to connect a new toilet, you will have to change sewer pipe. This will cause additional difficulties.
After the neck is destroyed, we proceed to disconnect the structure from the floor, to do this we try to rock it. If this does not bring results, take a chisel and a hammer and knock the cement off the base. During this process, the toilet may crack, from which water will begin to flow, or completely break (there will be even more water), in these cases a bucket and rags will help us.
Having separated the structure from the floor, we knock the remaining cement off it until the surface becomes smooth. At the final stage, it is necessary to clean the bell by removing the necks from it. You can use an old screwdriver for this operation. When the pipe is completely cleaned, a plug is put on it to prevent an unpleasant odor from spreading into the apartment.

Previously, only one material was used to install the sewer pipe system and toilet - cast iron. The pipes, risers, elbows, and manifold were cast iron, but this metal does not have many advantages for such a system. The fact is that cast iron is rough, that is, all sewer pipes quickly become overgrown with dirt and the need to clean them arises often. But over time, not only the connection diagram changes, but also the materials used for the production of various components.
Corrugations for toilet bowls are available in both plastic and cast iron. In houses built in Soviet time you can find a cast iron toilet bowl. Nowadays, to replace cast iron corrugations, they began to make plastic corrugations for toilet bowls.
Instead of difficult-to-install, heavy and not very high-quality cast iron pipes, lightweight, but very durable and high-quality plastic ones are increasingly being used. One of the leaders in connection household toilet from the outlet to the sewer socket there is a special corrugation for the toilet, that is, a pipe of a special shape.
This corrugation is an adapter that is made of thermoplastic materials that stretch without losing their strength. Corrugation refers to drainage fittings. It is a special flexible hose with a cuff through which wastewater flows from the outlet into the sewer pipe. Today, corrugation is produced in sizes from 231 to 500 mm, its diameter at the end is 110 mm (for a sewer system riser), on the side connected to the outlet - 134 mm outside and 75 mm on the inside.
Corrugated adapter pipes are installed on a toilet quite simply; this does not require special experience or expensive equipment, which is what makes corrugated pipes so popular these days.
The corrugation for the toilet has numerous advantages, which have made it the most popular in recent times:
The corrugation for toilet bowls is not always excellent option to connect, there are some disadvantages to using it that need to be mentioned:

Corrugated toilet pipe has good flexibility. It can be made longer or shorter, as it stretches well.
Modern corrugation for a toilet is sometimes the only option for installation in the required position. It is not always possible to make a connection to the sewerage system using conventional rigid pipes in the selected position or when using a certain model, if the socket is simply not designed for it. Let us consider in more detail in what cases the use of corrugation is required, what installation options can be used, what types of corrugated flexible pipe are offered these days by specialists.
Toilet corrugation is used in several cases:

To connect a corrugated pipe for a domestic toilet, various types can be used. Such pipes are not only traditional soft, but also hard, more reliable and durable. But, despite this, it is the soft corrugated pipe that is more popular today, since it is installed much easier and faster, the connection is made for any type of toilet outlet, since the soft corrugated pipe can be bent at any angle. Such options are more acceptable.
Today, manufacturers offer toilet corrugations, simple unreinforced and reinforced. For reinforced ones, rigidity is ensured using small diameter wire, which strengthens the walls of the sewer pipe. This type is more expensive than the unreinforced one, but its service life is much longer, and its reliability and strength indicators are excellent.
A toilet bowl corrugation is a flexible corrugated pipe that is attached to the toilet drain hole.
Also, corrugated pipes for installing a household toilet can be divided into short and long. IN in this case the choice depends on how far the toilet is from the sewer pipe. Experts do not recommend taking pipes that are too short in the hope that they will tighten tightly during installation. This option is quite risky, leaks are possible.
When choosing corrugations for installation, attention should also be paid to what pipe diameter is needed, although manufacturers today are trying to offer standard solutions, that is, choosing exactly the type that is needed is quite simple.

To provide correct installation corrugations for the toilet, you will first have to prepare the following tools:
After the tools are prepared, you can begin installing the toilet and connecting it to common system house sewer.
First, you should position the toilet correctly and secure it to the floor surface. After this, the outlet is cleaned, just like the socket of the sewer pipe. It is necessary to ensure that the inside of the socket is as clean and even as possible; knock off all remaining cement using a chisel or a special attachment on a hammer drill. Then wipe the inside of the bell with a dry rag.
Before you begin installing the corrugation on the toilet, you must ensure that there are no traces of mucus, dirt, cement or other debris left on the socket and outlet, which could cause a defect in the adapter.
The corrugated pipe itself is very easy to install; a special rubber seal is pulled over the outlet. In this case, you can apply force, it stretches perfectly, after which it returns to its previous position, tightening the knot.
To treat joints to avoid leaks, it is recommended to use silicone sealant. The composition is applied in a circle, after which the corrugation is fixed. You must try not to move it until the sealant is completely dry. It is completely useless to treat the pipe from the outside, so do not forget about this most important step.
After this, you can fix the toilet in the chosen place so that it does not wobble or move. After this, the toilet corrugation can be attached to the sewer socket. Here, too, a sealant is used, which will not only protect against possible leaks, but also prevent unpleasant odors from penetrating into the room, which is very important when using plumbing equipment such as a toilet.
Cast iron socket pipes for connecting plumbing to sewers are a thing of the past thanks to plastic products that have a number of advantages.
Modern socketless pressure and gravity pipes, as well as VChGSh products, are equipped with inner layer, significantly improving their technical capabilities.
A plastic corrugated pipe for a toilet bowl is cheaper than its cast iron counterpart, has less weight and is more durable. Easy to clean, no caulking or fitting required.
In addition, they are simple and easy to install, which allows you to do it yourself, significantly saving on the services of a plumber.
However, it is worth paying attention to the fact that corrugated plastic pipes are used only for outdoor installation, only metal structures are suitable for walling into walls.
The corrugation, or toilet cuff, is an element of plumbing, which is a wide corrugated pipe made of modern thermoplastic that connects the toilet to the sewage system.
Connection procedure plastic fittings with pipes and toilet hole, lightened by a cuff located on the edge of the structure. Corrugated walls allow you to vary the size of the device up to 23-50 centimeters.
Before purchasing a product, you need to choose a modification of the plumbing equipment.
Corrugated plastic pipes have the following characteristics:
Softness/hardness. The rigid toilet corrugation is wear-resistant and strong. Soft fittings are rightfully considered universal, suitable for any type of bathroom (vertical, horizontal, oblique) and easy to install.
Reinforcement increases the service life of the corrugation due to the use of thin steel wire.
However, it is worth paying for additional reliability: the cost of such a product is much higher.
The length of the element varies between 23-50 cm. It is important to take these parameters into account by first measuring the length from the toilet to the sewer pipe.
To avoid leaks, experts advise taking a structure slightly longer than the designated distance.
Corrugated plastic pipes for connecting plumbing fixtures have a diameter of 50, 100 and 200 mm.
The toilet corrugation is standard. The diameter of the cuff attached to the toilet is 13.4 cm on the outside, 7.5 cm on the inside. 11 cm is the diameter of the sewer pipe hole.
Toilet corrugation is available in any specialized point of sale selling plumbing fixtures. When purchasing, you should ask the seller for a certificate of conformity confirming high quality products.
Before installing a new plastic corrugated pipe for a toilet bowl, the previously installed structure should be dismantled. This process consists of the following steps:
To do this, you should use the advice of experts:
If the old structure is stretched to its maximum, it can be easily removed from the toilet hole and sewer pipe. It is enough to drain the remaining water into the sewer.
If the toilet is located in a corner, do not forget about the arc rule. Start by removing it from the toilet pipe and then from the drain. The process will be easy and will not take much time.
If the bathroom is located too close to the sewer, you should remove it from the mount, and then free the pipes from the corrugated pipe.
In this case, you need to be extremely careful, since the toilet may be firmly fixed to the floor (cemented).
It should be dismantled by hitting the neck with a hammer or sledgehammer. This must be done carefully, avoiding splitting the structure.
To avoid damage, never hit the drain pipe. Having completed the dismantling, clean the sewer and toilet pipes. Install a special plug on the socket, which will subsequently eliminate the stench.
Installation of corrugated plastic pipe is simple and accessible to everyone. One end of the corrugated pipe is inserted into the toilet socket, the other into the sewer pipe with a five-centimeter tension on the outlet.
To prevent water or air from entering, the joints should be treated with sealant.
The corrugated pipe installation process includes the following steps:
To check operation installed structure do a few test runs.
If no water leaks are found in the corrugation and drain hose, drain design works, then the installation was successful.
Plastic non-pressure corrugation for the toilet greatly simplifies the renovation of the bathroom. Several years ago, heavy equipment was used to connect equipment to the sewer system. cast iron pipes. However, today plastic fittings have almost completely replaced the usual dimensional products.
Plastic products have several advantages. Firstly, they are easy to install - anyone can handle the pipe replacement procedure. Secondly, corrugation is considered one of the only possible options in cases of moving the toilet or its displacement. Thirdly, a plastic pipe helps when repair work in the apartment has not yet been completed. In addition, the pipe will help out in cases where the outlet holes of the toilet bowl and the sewer pipe do not match.
A modern plastic pipe often plays the role of the only option for installing a toilet in a certain position. This applies to cases where the living space in the apartment is very limited, and the structure can only be installed in one position.
In addition, the pipe is used when new. This applies to cases where the previous toilet was installed in one place, but after renovation this part of the toilet becomes occupied by furniture or a washbasin. In order not to displace the entire sewer pipe, you can use corrugation. In this case, it is best to use long pipes of 50 cm or more.
Plastic corrugation for the toilet bowl has one great advantage. Both free-flow and pressure pipes have an inner layer that significantly increases their technical characteristics. This is clearly seen in the examples of the world leaders in the production of corrugated pipes - SML, Duker and Pam-Global.
Installing corrugation on a toilet provides more advantages than installing a cast iron product. It weighs much less than a heavy metal channel, the price of plastic products is much lower, and the service life is many times longer. It is very easy to clean it yourself, and before installing the corrugation on the toilet, you do not need to do any caulking or use fittings. In addition, if as a result of renovations in the toilet the floor height changes and the toilet bowl rises, the corrugation will not need to be changed to a shorter or longer one.
Do not forget that plastic product cannot be mounted inside a wall, as it will not withstand the load. Only cast iron fittings can cope with this purpose.
Before you buy a product, remember that each toilet corrugation has certain dimensions. In addition, plastic fittings lend themselves to a certain classification. What type a product belongs to depends on parameters such as:
According to the first parameter, pipes are hard and soft. The first type is highly durable and wear-resistant, so it can be installed in toilets in industrial plants and large commercial buildings. Soft reinforcement has better elasticity, which makes its installation easier.
Reinforcement is the strengthening of plastic reinforcement with special steel wire. The service life of reinforced corrugation is many times longer, but the price is correspondingly much higher.
The fittings also differ in length. On sale you can find products with lengths from 20 to 50 cm. When purchasing a product, consider the distance from the place where the corrugation is inserted to the toilet. We advise you to buy fittings with a small margin to prevent leakage.
Another important parameter– these are the dimensions of the reinforcement. The diameter of the pipes can be 5, 10 or 20 cm. This characteristic must be taken into account so as not to buy fittings with a cross-section larger than necessary. Before going to the store, measure the diameter of the hole in the toilet, and go to the store with the resulting size.
Do not forget that each product must have its own quality certificate. Be sure to study the labeling of fittings and avoid stores with confiscated items.
Replacing the corrugation on the toilet requires dismantling old pipe. To do this, be sure to stock up on several buckets and old rags. First, turn off the water supply to the cistern. Then unscrew the tube through which the water flows. Drain the water from the tank and remove the tank itself.
After this, begin dismantling the old corrugation. At the same time, remember that if the toilet has been in use for quite a long time, then most likely it is firmly cemented into the floor. In this case, dismantling the toilet without damage will be almost impossible. IN similar situation Apply a strong blow to the toilet neck area with a hammer as if you want to split it. The vibration from the impact will affect the cement base, making removal much easier.
Never hit the pipe itself, especially if it is made of cast iron. As a result, the material may crack or shatter into small fragments. It will not be possible to repair the crack and to install a new corrugation you will have to completely replace the sewer pipe. This will cause difficulties and financial costs.
Once you destroy the neck, you can begin dismantling the structure. First try to swing it in different sides. If this does not work, take a hammer and chisel and try to knock down the cement base. Often, as a result of this, the toilet cracks or collapses. To avoid flooding the room, collect water with a rag.
Once you remove the toilet, knock off any remaining cement until the bottom is perfectly level. After this, clean the flare, removing any debris from the toilet neck. Once you have cleaned the duct, put a plug on it to prevent the smell from spreading throughout the apartment.
Before changing the worn corrugation on the toilet, we recommend studying the method in which fixation is performed using dowels. This method is the simplest and is perfect for beginners. To work you will need:
The work is performed using a very simple algorithm. First, try on the purchased pipe. To do this, attach the corrugation to the place where it will be attached. This way you can see whether the diameters of the toilet neck, waste pipe and the corrugation itself match. In addition, this way you can check whether the new channel is the right length.
If necessary, cut the corrugation and start making markings. With a marker, mark the points for the dowels and outline the base for the toilet. Install a tank and drain pipe onto the toilet. Using a hammer drill, drill holes at the previously marked points. Start installing the new corrugation. To do this, wipe the pipe with a rag, apply sealant to the ribs of the gasket and install the pipe in the sewer drain hole.
Also treat the other end of the channel with sealant and place it on the neck of the toilet. If you notice any cracks, be sure to seal them with sealant or.
Place a rubber gasket on the designated area under the toilet and apply a layer of silicone sealant. Install the toilet and secure it securely.
The last step will be to check the bathroom. To do this, drain the water from the tank several times and check whether it is flowing out from under the structure.
Despite many advantages, plastic pipes also have several disadvantages. What stands out among them is their small wall thickness and fragility compared to metal channels. In addition, many residents do not like and appearance of the entire product. In this case, you can choose a regular chrome pipe, which looks much better.
If you don’t want to buy and install corrugation, then you can go an alternative route. For example, you can install a toilet with an oblique type outlet. In this case, the latter should be located above the sewer socket. Installing such a structure can be quite problematic. The problem can be solved by using polyethylene or PVC pipes. Take a pipe and connect one side of it to the toilet. The other part is connected to the sewer. To seal the connection, use rubber cuffs.
The second method of solving the installation problem involves heating the pipe. To do this, the pipe must be heated until it becomes soft. After this, pull the product onto the toilet outlet as quickly as possible. Connect the other end of the pipe to the sewer socket and apply sealant.
To connect a toilet with a straight outlet to an oblique sewer socket, you can also use a plastic corner. There is a wide selection of such items in stores. To prevent water from leaking out from under the corner, be sure to place a rubber seal under the toilet.
When purchasing, experts advise paying attention to the length of the corrugation. This is especially true for toilets in which the toilet is located away from the wall. On the one hand, the corrugation can stretch, however, if you stretch the product too much, its walls may become a little thinner. This will negatively affect the strength of the structure.
Experts recommend not stretching the product immediately before you install it on the toilet. This can only be done when connected to a sewer. Otherwise, the outlet may sag, which will cause the system to clog. When installing, make sure that the channel bends do not interfere with the normal drainage of water. Do not pinch the pipe under any circumstances to avoid damaging the soft product.
It must be remembered that the corrugation is not designed for heavy loads. Try not to clutter it with heavy objects, so that the pipe does not eventually burst.
