The Swiss company Geberit has been successfully manufacturing and selling various sanitary equipment for many years.
For example, the company produces components for flush tanks, supplying parts for various global concerns, as well as independently creating finished products.
The Geberit system for toilets is very popular. High performance and reasonable cost make these devices very popular on the market.
Construction ( drain fittings Geberit), located in the toilet cistern, works when flushing occurs. The drainage mechanism consists of the following elements:
Lever models are now being produced less and less - they are being replaced by modern push-button models, which are more convenient, look better and allow the use of flush modes. When you press the button (lever), a hole opens through which water from the tank enters the toilet bowl. The hole closes when the container is empty.
Almost always the system is offered as a kit, already assembled and ready for use. If it fails, it can be replaced separately.
It should be borne in mind that if Geberit was installed, then it must be replaced with the same one.
The drainage system consists of two main elements: a lever and a siphon. The latter is needed to prevent water leakage: it covers the drain hole. As a rule, the appearance of a siphon resembles a plunger.
The button lever activates the siphon, which rises and opens the drain.
IN Lately appeared additional element, which is connected to the button (as mentioned above). Pressing it activates the button lever, which raises the siphon.
Moreover, many models are equipped with double buttons - which allow you to empty the tank completely (when pressed fully) or partially (respectively, when pressed partially).
One way to classify the drain mechanism is the material of manufacture. The most common are plastic and bronze. Such product options cope perfectly with the tasks assigned to them.
The use of such materials is relevant because they are neutral to corrosion under the influence of moisture (unlike metal structures).
Geberite is a high quality plastic elements, and in terms of strength characteristics they are almost not inferior to bronze ones.
Can also be classified drain mechanism(tank) by design features:
Installation (push-button options) is divided into types:
In addition to the options considered, there is another modern solution - installation. This complex system For hidden installation plumbing equipment.
Thanks to the special design, a number of advantages are formed:
The installation distinguishes between two types of installations:
The block system costs less, but the frame system opens up more possibilities for use.
Frame fittings (installation) for Geberit toilets are produced in three types:
When it comes to Geberit installation systems, two main groups of devices can be distinguished:
You need to choose drain fittings based on the toilet model. After all, the solution must be constructive; differing models cannot be reconciled.
So, if you plan to use a classic toilet, then the appropriate drainage fittings should be selected. In this case, you can count on the reliability of products, the design of which has been tested over many years of operation.
If a more modern solution is used - installation, it is worth taking into account the specific conditions in which the installation and configuration of Geberit fittings and the system as a whole will take place.
In this case, you can use a device that allows you to control it contactlessly, only by approaching or moving away from the sensors.
An important factor when choosing is price. The cost of conventional Geberit fittings is around $25. As for installations, in this case, of course, the price will be slightly higher - about $200.
In fact, this criterion is the limiting factor when choosing suitable fittings, as well as all plumbing equipment.
Otherwise, installations outperform classic solutions on aesthetics, ergonomics, functionality and durability.
A ready-made toilet offered in a store always comes with the operating mode of the fittings installed and configured. However, in some cases you may need to configure it yourself.
This can happen during replacement - installing an entire new unit or its individual parts.
There is nothing particularly complicated about this - so it is not necessary to call a plumber to carry out such work (and for such work he will need to pay at least $5-10).
Now, actually, to how exactly this work is done. First, let's look at how to properly adjust the valve height:
Now let’s figure out the sequence in which the water level in the tank is adjusted:
If you need to adjust a partial drain (in push-button models), you need to move its float higher or lower (relative to the overflow tube). There is an example in the video below.
For the same procedure, only performed for complete drainage, you need to move the valve itself (relative to the “glass”) - an example in the video below.
This adjustment will change (up or down) the amount of water that will be flushed when you press the button.
Advice! Similar products are produced serially, so there is no need to worry that you won’t find any parts during repairs, especially since the delivery set includes everything you need.
There are several modifications produced, and each has its own individual technical features, but the principle of their operation is the same. Their main difference is the type. It happens:
In addition, there are options that differ in appearance, which allow you to install toilet not against the wall, but in the corner.
It’s easy to find out which option is on sale: the block version does not have a sliding frame and consists exclusively of such components as:
Choose a mount depending on the place where you plan to install the plumbing.
Before starting the main process, you need to prepare working space and acquire the appropriate tools. The following will be useful to you:
From additional Supplies will come in handy:
If the procedure is carried out in a residential area, first of all you need to dismantle the old toilet seat and remove it.
The next step could be to move the sewer hole in accordance with the plan. This can be achieved using special devices - adapters made of plastic.
Note! This procedure will require dismantling the part.
To do this, the floor around the hole is deepened using a hammer drill and the adapter is fixed on it. Next, the free space around it is filled with cement-sand mortar or a self-leveling floor mixture. The next stage can be started after the solution has completely dried.
Note! Please note that a technological gap of 2 cm must be installed between the floor and the assembly.
Important! When drilling holes in the floor, remember that there may be communications or a heating system running inside it. In case of damage, the front repair work may triple.
The peculiarity of this type is its versatility. In most cases, it can be used for floor and wall hung toilets, however the installation will vary slightly.
On a note! You may also need to cap the bolts and connect the button if this was not done by the manufacturer.
