Kekewei, the owner of the new house, wants to move the toilet sewer pipe.

Change the position of toilet

The first consideration is smoothness.

There are several sewer pipes in the bathroom. Don't move if you can! I heard that the reporter had to change the toilet location, and many project managers advised reporters to be cautious.

Xiaoke, a decorator, told reporters that the projects he has done are generally to change the position of the toilet 10cm or so and use a special toilet shifter (shaped like two staggered elbows). Because the mobile location is not very large, congestion is unlikely to occur. If you want to move further, there will be no shifter to use, so you can only transform the sewer pipe. Generally speaking, he said, they don't recommend this because the elbow joint is more difficult to handle.

Han Xiong, an independent designer, said that if you want to move the toilet farther (beyond the scope of the special toilet shifter), you must raise the toilet floor and add a trap to prevent the odor from flowing back while reforming the pipeline. Because the diameter of the drainage pipe is generally 1 10MM, the ground should be raised at least 120MM, leaving room for cement mortar and sewer slope.

The practice of Jiuding decorative architect is similar to that of these two experts. He said that the general new house does not need to consider this issue, because the developer's design is basically reasonable, and the problem is concentrated in the second-hand house with smaller bathrooms. If the toilet displacement distance is less than 5CM, he suggested that the landlord buy a shifter in the market. Although the merchant would say that the shifter can be used for toilet displacement of 5 ~ 15 cm, in fact, it is of little use if it exceeds 5 cm (there will be congestion and other phenomena). If the toilet is changed beyond 12 cm, it is best to reinstall the pipeline and raise the toilet floor by about 12cm.

In addition to considering the blockage problem, we should also pay attention to the tightness of the pipeline when moving the toilet. This is what experts have repeatedly reminded owners, especially the location of interfaces between different pipelines. It is necessary to check whether there are leaks many times to ensure that there are no leaks, such as sealing rings and glass glue.
