The tank does not overfill due to the overflow tube located in the drain mechanism. In the production process, only environmentally friendly natural materials are used. The kits are optimized for a comfortable service. However, you need to know how to properly install such a technique.

The installation of the kit depends on the design (frame or block). The main stages of installation are fastening the steel frame, connecting to the sewer system, connecting the plumbing. After that, the wall is usually plastered dry and finishing work is carried out. The considered frame structures have their own advantages - installations can be placed on any part of the room and, moreover, at some distance from the walls.

When working, it is important to adhere to the sequence of actions and certain installation rules.

• The first step is to assemble the steel frame and other parts with fasteners. Then a drain tank is mounted on it, its position is adjusted by means of brackets.

In this case, it is important to observe the dimensions that are standard for such devices:

1. a distance of 400 mm must be maintained from the floor surface to the toilet seat;
2. height from pipes of the sewer system to the floor - 220 mm;
3. from the drain button to the floor - 1000 mm.

• The next step will require fixing the frame to the wall. To do this, holes are marked in the wall and floor, perforation is made with a drill, fasteners are mounted, to which the frame must be tightly screwed in 4 places.
• The water pipe is connected. It is better if these are plastic pipes, they are connected from above or from the side to the tank. After connecting to the sewer using a corrugation, it is necessary to check the tightness of the fasteners.

• Having installed the pins, the toilet is hung on them. A frame made of metal profiles will help to close the installation.
• Plasterboard sheets are selected with a thickness of at least 10 mm, it must be a moisture-resistant type of material. Panels are cut out of it, fixed on a metal frame. The holes for the button and the drain are made in advance. If desired, tiles can be glued to the drywall.

Despite the long service life of such systems, sooner or later breakdowns occur that require repair, therefore, when purchasing a system with a toilet, you should immediately take care of buying a repair kit for the tank. It includes the components that are most susceptible to wear - gaskets, intake valves, and other parts. Reviews show that, despite the visual appeal, in contrast to floor installations, such installations present some difficulties during installation and repair due to a more complex design.
