Dimensions

The dimensions of toilet bowls, in which there is a bidet function, are regulated by building codes and regulations. There is a restriction on the location of the plumbing fixture relative to the door and the opposite wall from the place of its attachment. It should not be less than 65 cm. There should be a free space of 30 cm or more on the sides.

The choice of product height is determined by the height and weight of the consumers themselves. It is necessary to measure the distance from the buttock to the foot in a sitting position - it will correspond to the specified parameters. In the standard version, the height from the floor to the edge of the rim is about 45 cm.

Varieties

Depending on the installation method, the following types of shower toilets are distinguished:

Standard toilet bowls, consisting of a bowl on a leg and a tank. The latter may have a different volume and design.

Mounted

Such devices do not have legs, but are mounted on the wall. Thanks to this, they look lighter, more compact. The tank and water supply elements in such a device are mounted on a steel frame built into the wall, called an installation. He, in turn, is hidden by a decorative false panel. Thus, the user sees only the toilet bowl and the flush button in the toilet. Hanging toilet bowls allow you not to disturb the tile pattern, provide easier laying of underfloor heating, cleaning the floor covering.In addition, due to the location of the tank, the drain in these models is almost silent.

corner

Each of the types of toilet discussed above can have a corner version. From the name it is clear that the design is mounted between adjacent intersecting walls and allows the most productive use of a small area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe toilet. A feature of such structures is the triangular shape of the tank.

Based on the connection features, the following types of devices are distinguished:

• A toilet connected via a hose to a cold water pipe.
• A toilet bowl with a hidden faucet connected to cold and hot water supply. Adjustment of temperature and a pressure of water is carried out manually.
• Thermostat device. In the latter, cold and hot water are mixed to the optimum temperature set by the user. In this case, the set parameter can be saved. If the thermostat has a water heating element, then it is connected only to pipes with cold water.

The nozzles can be mounted both in the rim of the toilet bowl and in the lid. Moreover, you can separately buy a bidet lid of a suitable diameter and fix it on a regular toilet.

There are also bidet inserts. Such an insert can be in the form of 2 devices - a mini-shower or spray nozzles. The set of the device includes a faucet, hoses, a metal panel, as well as a shower head or retractable nozzles. When installing a shower, it is enough to turn on the mixer, and then a special button on the shower. The activation of the nozzles is carried out under the influence of pressure - first the nozzle extends, then it starts spraying water. It is not necessary to independently control the direction of the jet. After the tap is closed, the nozzle will hide.

Depending on the type of nozzles, there are:

Toilet bowls with a stationary nozzle (bidetkoy). Mounted in the rim, water flows after pressing the bidet button.

Toilet bowls with retractable fittings. They are located under the rim of the bowl or in the side of the bowl. After turning off the bidet button, the fitting enters under the rim and becomes on a par with it.

The latter are preferred because they are less susceptible to contamination during use.

Shower toilets may have additional options:

• Lid with microlift. Such designs have a soft-closing lid. A special built-in latch prevents the lid from slamming.
• Built-in hair dryer.
• Seat heating function
• Backlight.
• Thermostat. It ensures constant temperature and water pressure.
• A device for analyzing human biomaterial in order to detect deviations from the norm of certain indicators.
• Air and hydromassage system.
• Anti-splash system to prevent splashing when using the toilet.
• The presence of a special coating that prevents the formation of contaminants on the surface of the bowl.

High-quality bidet installation comfortable use

Having chosen the appropriate option, it is necessary to complete the purchased model with all the missing elements. As a rule, mixers and fasteners are sold complete with the product. But in order to organize the drainage and behavior of water to the device, it is necessary to purchase additional components that are suitable for the local water supply and sewerage system.

When choosing the elements of the drain system, you need to remember that it provides for the presence of a locking elbow. Such a system is similar to that used in sinks.

Unusual location opposite each other

Starting the installation of a simple model, you must first assemble the mixer and install it on the bidet body. This process should not cause any particular difficulties, since all parts are easily mounted without special tools.

Water connection to bidet

Spacious bathroom, in the interior of which all the necessary plumbing is conveniently located

Functionally, in shape and size, the bidet is not much different from the toilet bowl and it is customary to install them side by side.

By choosing a toilet and bidet from the same company, they will look more harmonious

Both plumbing fixtures must be either suspended or floor standing.

The next step is the preparation of the drain, in which all the necessary elements are fixed. Having installed the prepared body in place, they connect the water supply system, connect the sewer pipes, and only after that they fix the bidet with bolts to the floor or to the wall frame.

Upflow models have a more complex water supply system. Therefore, before installing such equipment yourself, you must carefully study the instructions, which describe all the details of the installation process. Or contact the experts, which will greatly simplify the entire installation work for you.

In any case, you need to start with the assembly of the water supply system. Only after its installation, it is possible to connect to the water supply and adjust its activity. And only after debugging the system, you can fix the equipment on the floor or wall.

The most common color of plumbing is white, a multi-colored kit has to be searched and ordered for a long time

Thanks to this accessory, you save water and time, there is no need to take a shower for the most insignificant occasion.

Ideal if you immediately purchase a toilet and bidet - they will be perfectly combined in size, shape, color scheme and style

The universal combined model is installed like a conventional toilet. And the additional cover is fixed to a conventional device with the help of special bolts and requires water connection using flexible hoses directly to the mounted additional element. At the same time, the cranes are located on the side of the device, so that they are convenient to use.

Water connection to universal bidet

The rational solution would be to order all bathroom plumbing rooms from the same manufacturer, in order to avoid different shades of individual elements

Suspended model, which is mounted on an installation hidden behind a false wall

Having all the necessary hygiene products at hand will ensure comfortable care

Installation of a bidet in complexity is not too different from work with other plumbing equipment and is quite within the power of a home master. However, if you doubt your qualifications, contact the experts. They will perform all the necessary manipulations quickly and efficiently, saving you from the loss of personal time and additional hassle.

Design

Outwardly, a toilet with a built-in bidet differs from a simple one only in the size of the cistern. Due to the built-in electronic system, it is slightly larger. A simple sanitary ware turns into a modern bidet at the push of a button.

The toilet with a bidet is equipped with a mechanism that is located in its bowl.This is a nozzle or a bidet built into the rim of the toilet. It can also be a retractable or fixed fitting. Thanks to this, it is easy and simple to monitor your personal hygiene.

Using a special regulator, it is necessary to set the water temperature. If you want to use the bidet function, you must press the button and after that the fitting extends and water is supplied. Recently, manufacturers have been releasing electronic toilets that are equipped with additional features that turn on automatically. No intervention is required to use them and set the water temperature.

Why you need to install a bidet at home

Previously, bidets were a luxury, because they could be found in expensive hotels. For years, people have denied this type of plumbing attention, and in vain. In the countries of Europe, Central Asia, Japan, a bidet is so common that it is installed even in public toilets.

The bidet serves as a quick way to maintain personal hygiene in the groin area.

The need for a bidet

A bidet is a small bathtub or low sink equipped with a siphon and a shower. This type of plumbing was developed by the French. It is installed in the bathroom mainly near the toilet and serves to maintain personal hygiene.

A jet of water is directed to the genitals and allows you to keep them and the anus clean after using the toilet. The bidet has hot and cold water. In simple designs, the temperature is controlled by a mixer. Water is supplied from below by a fountain.

Bidet device diagram.

In fact, you need a bidet not only for this, because it is convenient to wash your feet with it. People with disabilities can use it for regular hygiene.

The small-capacity bathrooms in small apartments did not allow the owners to place an additional piece of plumbing, as the room needed to be redesigned. This also influenced the attitude towards this device as interfering and unnecessary.

An important question is how exactly to fit on this device. It is a mistake to believe that it is necessary to sit facing the wall. Many argue that the position with your back to the faucet is more comfortable.

In this case, the device has touch control, which allows you to set the water temperature and procedure time. A jet of water comes from under the toilet lid. After the hygiene procedure, the air flow will help you stay dry. By the way, back in 1980, the Japanese thought about developing this type of plumbing for the bathroom.

The main elements of the bidet cover.

According to the type of attachment, a bidet is distinguished:

• floor - standard, when the outlet pipes are visible;
• wall-mounted - all pipes are hidden behind the panel.

Do not think that a bidet replaces a bath or shower. Of course not. People who use a bidet, arrange water procedures, like the rest, perhaps a little less often.

An alternative to a bidet is a hygienic shower, which is installed near the toilet. This is a simple design that consists of a mixer and a shower. However, a bidet is more functional than a hygienic shower.

As for hospitals, the installation of such a device in them is simply necessary to maintain personal hygiene by the patients of the institution. A common misconception is that a bidet is an exclusively female form of plumbing. It's not, men use it too.

Types of bidets combined with a toilet

There are several parameters by which devices of the same purpose differ from each other. First of all, the method of fastening, as well as the material, drain system, bowl shape and design. Let's take a closer look at all these criteria.

According to the method of installation - floor, hinged, corner

The mounting method is selected based on the technical capabilities of the premises and the preferences of the customer.

Illustration	Mount type	Description
	Floor	Traditional model that is installed directly on the floor, regardless of the type of flooring. The barrel is installed from above. Control can be mechanical, semi-automatic and automatic.
	hinged	Mounted on the wall using a special installation system and belongs to the category of modern, practical and multifunctional equipment. It will be an excellent solution for small bathrooms, as it takes up little space, while providing a comfortable process of hygiene procedures and cleaning the premises. All communications are hidden, so the product looks neat and compact.
	Angular	This type of fastening is relevant for small rooms or those that have the wrong layout. Can be floor and hinged. Such equipment looks original and allows the most efficient use of free space in a small room.

By type of material

The material of manufacture largely affects the durability of sanitary equipment and the features of caring for it. Most often on sale you can find faience products. Their cost is low due to the fact that almost half of the material consists of kaolin clay.To reduce the ability of the surface to absorb moisture due to the high concentration of clay in the composition, such products are covered with a protective layer of glaze, which retains its gloss and original color for a long time, does not crack or become cloudy.

Faience products are very durable, but at the same time quite light.

Plumbing porcelain contains quartz or other minerals that give it special strength. The surface of the product becomes smooth, impact-resistant, unlike fragile earthenware, it does not absorb unpleasant odors. Special dirt-repellent impregnations facilitate the care of the product.

High quality justifies the higher cost of these products than faience

By drain system

The type of drain system is a very important parameter that must be considered when purchasing a toilet along with a bidet.

So, there are three types of drain systems.

Illustration	Drain	Description
	Horizontal	The connection of the bowl and the sewer riser occurs without corner elements. With the help of a corrugated hose, the drain pipe, located in the back of the product, is easily connected to the central communications.
	Vertical	A convenient and practical solution that does not require the installation of equipment in a strictly designated place. The outlet sewer pipe is connected directly to the bottom of the equipment. Allows you to save space, the room looks neat, as communications are hidden.
	oblique	The outlet is located at an angle of 30−45°. Requires a clear and reliable connection to avoid subsequent leaks.

By bowl shape and design

The shape of the bowl can be funnel-shaped, visor and plate-shaped.

Type of bowl	Description
	Does not spread splashes and drops. However, less hygienic.
	The central location of the drain hole causes splashing.
	Prevents splashing. Thanks to the offset drain hole, the descent is of high quality and smooth.

Among other things, modern plumbing equipment is distinguished by design - color and shape.

The device should organically fit into the interior of the room in which it is installed.

By control method - electronic bidet toilets and devices with mechanical control

There are several options for controlling the functions of a bidet toilet.

Mechanical control	Electronic control
This control method allows you to adjust the water temperature and the level of pressure of the water jet. Of the positive qualities, one can note the reliability of the system due to its simplicity, long service life, low cost and easy repair.	Most modern products are equipped with electronic control, an impressive set of functions. It can be made in the form of a block or control panel directly on the body of the product, on the wall near the toilet bowl and/or in the form of a control panel. Some models have the function of storing several user-defined parameters in memory.

Semi-automatic control involves a combination of these two methods.

Varieties

Depending on the installation method, the following types of shower toilets are distinguished:

Standard toilet bowls, consisting of a bowl on a leg and a tank. The latter may have a different volume and design.

Mounted

Such devices do not have legs, but are mounted on the wall. Thanks to this, they look lighter, more compact. The tank and water supply elements in such a device are mounted on a steel frame built into the wall, called an installation.He, in turn, is hidden by a decorative false panel. Thus, the user sees only the toilet bowl and the flush button in the toilet. Hanging toilet bowls allow you not to disturb the tile pattern, provide easier laying of underfloor heating, cleaning the floor covering. In addition, due to the location of the tank, the drain in these models is almost silent.

From the name it is clear that the design is mounted between adjacent intersecting walls and allows the most productive use of a small area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe toilet.

Based on the connection features, the following types of devices are distinguished:

• A toilet connected via a hose to a cold water pipe.
• A toilet bowl with a hidden faucet connected to cold and hot water supply. Adjustment of temperature and a pressure of water is carried out manually.
• Thermostat device. In the latter, cold and hot water are mixed to the optimum temperature set by the user. In this case, the set parameter can be saved. If the thermostat has a water heating element, then it is connected only to pipes with cold water.

The nozzles can be mounted both in the rim of the toilet bowl and in the lid. Moreover, you can separately buy a bidet lid of a suitable diameter and fix it on a regular toilet.

Room size

Obviously, in a too cramped bathroom, the overall bidet will look too cumbersome. To choose a suitable model, you should carefully measure the room, and then draw its plan on a certain scale.

On this plan, it will be possible to depict several options for placing equipment and thus determine its optimal dimensions.

Location of the toilet and bidet - determining distances

When developing a project, it is very important to ensure that there is sufficient space in front of the toilet and bidet, without which it would be inconvenient to use them. From each device to the wall located in front of it there should be a distance of at least 60 cm, but the distance of 70 cm is considered optimal

At the same time, it is necessary to arrange all the devices in the bathroom in such a way that the farthest one is no further than 3 m from the sewer riser.

Also at the planning stage, it is highly desirable to consider the visual consistency of the bidet and toilet. These devices are very similar, therefore, for harmonious perception, they should have approximately the same size, color and style. If a hanging toilet is used, then the bidet should also be purchased in a hanging version. In general, in a combined bathroom, it is customary to place equipment in such a way that two zones are clearly distinguished: sanitary (toilet + bidet) and hygienic (bath or shower + sink).

Standard dimensions of plumbing and its location

Additionally, they can be marked with shelves in the form of a partition or, for example, with a different color of the floor covering. Do not forget to provide a place for a washing machine, which in the vast majority of cases is also installed in this room.

With all this, it must be remembered that a bidet that is too compact is more likely to overflow with water. If it is not possible to accommodate a large-sized option, it is necessary to provide an overflow protection system.
