Mobile Toilet for Different Floor Drainage

Mobile toilets for different-floor drainage (inter-floor drainage) can be relocated using methods such as toilet shifters, converting floor drains to wall drains, raising the floor for relocation, modifying sewage pipes, or negotiating with neighbors for pipe modifications. Details are as follows:

Using a toilet shifter: A toilet shifter is a simple device that can meet short-distance relocation needs. Generally, relocating about forty centimeters at home is not a problem. However, the height of the shifter's flat pipe is about 4 centimeters, which will cause the floor to rise. If the bathroom has no underfloor heating, the flat pipe can be lowered by breaking the floor; if there is underfloor heating, the flat pipe can only be laid directly on the ground, raising the overall floor height. Moreover, the toilet shifter should preferably be within forty centimeters, as longer lengths increase the likelihood of blockages later on.

Converting floor drains to wall drains: Abandon the original toilet position directly and lay new pipes for a wall-mounted toilet design. This method can meet relocation needs, and the relocation distance is much longer than that of a toilet shifter, eliminating concerns about later blockages.

Raising the floor for relocation: Relocate the toilet by raising the bathroom floor and laying new drainage pipes. This method provides space to arrange new drainage pipes but occupies the bathroom's ceiling height, making the space feel cramped.

Modifying sewage pipes: Cut off the sewage pipe and reconnect it with a pipe of an appropriate size (such as a 110mm pipe) for a rear-discharge toilet. This method requires significant modifications to the sewage pipes and is relatively difficult to construct, but it can effectively solve the toilet relocation problem.

Negotiating with neighbors for pipe modifications: Since the pipes for inter-floor drainage are located on the ceiling of the bathroom of the downstairs neighbor, you can negotiate with the neighbor to modify the pipes for toilet relocation. However, this method requires the neighbor's consent and can be difficult to coordinate.

In addition, toilet relocation should follow certain principles. Determine the relocation range based on the type of floor slab reduction. Without floor slab reduction, the renovation is usually completed within your own home, and the toilet relocation range is small, between 100 - 300mm. With partial floor slab reduction, the bathroom's floor slab reduction range is relatively small, and the toilet position can be adjusted relatively freely within the reduced area, but overall adjustments are limited. With overall floor slab reduction (sunken box), the toilet can be arranged and adjusted as needed. At the same time, determine the relocation distance based on the layout of the apartment. The longer the toilet relocation distance, the longer the horizontal drainage pipe will be, increasing the likelihood of the sewage pipe being blocked. It is recommended to keep the relocation distance within 30 centimeters, with a maximum distance not exceeding 1 meter.
