Simple Toilet Moving Method Diagram

The methods for moving a simple toilet (toilet bowl) mainly include using a toilet offset connector, converting floor drainage to wall drainage, and raising the floor. Here are the specific operations and precautions:

I. Short-distance Moving with a Toilet Offset Connector

A toilet offset connector is a common tool for short-distance moving (it is recommended not to exceed 2 meters). It connects the original drainage outlet to the new position through a flat pipe. Key Parameters:

• Flat Pipe Height: Approximately 4 centimeters. It is necessary to ensure a proper slope of the pipe for drainage.
• Slope Requirement: The slope of a 110mm pipe should be between 0.6% and 1.2% (i.e., a height difference of 6-12mm between the two ends of a 1-meter pipe). A slope that is too small is prone to blockage, while a slope that is too large affects installation stability.
• Operation Points: The flat pipe of the offset connector should be laid horizontally and then the slope adjusted to avoid bending or sharp turns. The shorter the moving distance, the lower the risk of blockage. Moving distances exceeding 2 meters require careful evaluation.

II. Long-distance Moving by Converting Floor Drainage to Wall Drainage

If long-distance moving (e.g., exceeding 2 meters) is required, the toilet drainage method can be changed to wall drainage, that is, re-laying the pipe to the side of the wall drainage riser. Applicable Scenarios:

• Same-floor Drainage Bathroom: Pipes can be directly laid in grooves on the floor and connected to the wall drainage outlet, reducing the impact on the downstairs residents.
• Inter-floor Drainage Bathroom: It is necessary to negotiate with the downstairs residents, drill holes in the floor slab, and then thread the pipe to the wall. The construction is more difficult.
  Advantages: Wall drainage pipes are hidden in the wall, saving space and being aesthetically pleasing, suitable for long-distance moving requirements.

III. Raising the Floor to Meet Slope Requirements

For inter-floor drainage bathrooms that require long-distance moving, a new floor platform can be built by raising the floor to ensure the slope of the pipeline. Construction Points:

• Floor Platform Height: Calculate the slope according to the moving distance. For example, when moving 3 meters, the height difference between the two ends of the floor platform should be 18-36mm (at a slope of 0.6%-1.2%).
• Waterproofing Treatment: The interior of the floor platform should be waterproofed twice, and the surface should be paved with tiles or stone materials to prevent water leakage to the downstairs.
• Space Impact: Raising the floor will reduce the net height of the bathroom, and it is necessary to evaluate whether it affects usage comfort.

Precautions:

1. The actual construction should adjust the plan according to the bathroom drainage type (same-floor/inter-floor drainage) and on-site conditions.
2. After moving, test the drainage speed. If blockage or odor occurs, check whether the slope or pipe connection is sealed.
3. When drilling holes in the floor slab or modifying the drainage riser, report to the property management or relevant departments in advance to ensure compliance with building regulations.
