The Position of the Toilet Can Be Moved

The position of the toilet bowl in the bathroom can be moved, but appropriate methods need to be carefully selected according to the relocation range, and relevant precautions should be taken.

For small-scale relocation (10 - 40 centimeters), a toilet bowl relocator can be used. However, when using a relocator, the floor needs to be chiseled open to embed a flat pipe, and the slope of the flat pipe must be greater than 3%. If the slope is insufficient, the sewage will not flow smoothly in the pipe, which can easily lead to blockages. The common relocation distance of a relocator is 5 to 10 centimeters, and it can reach up to 15 centimeters in special cases. It is generally not recommended to exceed this range. In addition, there are two types of relocators: integrated and oval flat-pipe types. The integrated relocator is suitable for short-distance relocation, usually not exceeding 200mm; the oval flat-pipe relocator is suitable for longer-distance relocation, usually not exceeding 500mm.

For large-scale relocation (more than 40 centimeters), there are two common methods. One is to raise the floor by 12 to 20 centimeters, and at the same time, the waterproofing must be redone. Because raising the floor changes the original drainage slope and waterproofing structure, if the waterproofing is not redone, leakage problems are likely to occur later, affecting the occupants downstairs and also causing damage to the bathroom environment in one's own home. The other is to use a wall-mounted toilet. A wall-mounted toilet hides the water tank inside the wall, and the sewage pipe can be flexibly connected, which can meet the needs of large-scale relocation. However, wall-mounted toilets are more expensive, and their maintenance is relatively troublesome. Once a fault occurs, it may be necessary to damage the wall for repair.

In addition, it should be clarified that a mobile toilet refers to a facility that can be moved as a whole and is set up at locations or places with fixed or temporary needs to provide toilet services for the public and customers. This is not the same concept as moving the position of the toilet bowl inside the bathroom. When moving the position of the toilet bowl in a mobile toilet, the above factors should be fully considered to ensure the safety and convenience of use after relocation.
