How to Move a Reclusive Toilet

If a 'reclusive toilet' refers to a toilet whose position in the bathroom is unreasonable and needs to be moved, you can choose an appropriate method based on the drainage type, as follows:

Same-floor Drainage

Same-floor drainage means that the drainage branch pipes on the same floor do not pass through the floor slab and are connected to the main drainage pipe within the same floor. If relocation is required, there are several methods:

• Use a toilet offset connector: The integrated type is suitable for short-distance (generally no more than 200mm) relocation; the oval flat-pipe offset connector with connectors is suitable for long-distance (preferably no more than 500mm) relocation. During construction, for every 100mm of movement, the pipe should be raised by 5mm in slope to ensure normal drainage.
• Raise the floor: Bury the pipe connected to the toilet underground and design a reasonable slope to facilitate the flow of waste. If the bathroom is of the sunken type, rectification will be more convenient because a sunken bathroom has enough space to arrange pipes and adjust the slope.
• Drill a new hole: Rectify the toilet drainage pipe so that the water pipe runs along the wall, and the toilet is connected through a rear or bottom drainage method. This method requires negotiation with the residents downstairs and the hiring of a professional master for construction. During construction, waterproofing measures should be taken to prevent water leakage and cause losses to the residents downstairs.

Inter-floor Drainage

Inter-floor drainage means that the drainage branch pipes need to penetrate the floor slab and connect to the main drainage pipe for drainage. Rectification is more troublesome and involves neighbor relations. If relocation is required, there are several ways:

• Directly connect to the original nozzle: Connect the relocation device directly to the original nozzle. The floor height will rise slightly by about 10 - 12cm, and a slope of about 3% should be added at the same time to ensure smooth drainage.
• Wall-mounted drainage connection: Choose wall-mounted drainage and connect it to the drainage riser clamp, but be careful not to choose the slope of the downpipe to avoid affecting the drainage effect.
• Extend the oil pipeline: Go to the neighbor's place to extend the oil pipeline. Prior consent from the neighbor is required because this involves the neighbor's space and rights.

In addition, when relocating a toilet, if the relocation distance is within 10 centimeters, using a special toilet offset connector generally will not cause blockage; if relocating a longer distance, the sewer needs to be modified to ensure the normal operation of the drainage system.
