Toilet Mobile Floor Drain

It is generally not recommended to modify the toilet mobile floor drain under normal circumstances, but it can be modified under specific conditions, and there are many considerations for modification.

Specific Modifiable Situations

When the original position of the floor drain is unreasonable, moving the floor drain can be considered. For example, if the floor drain is pressed by the toilet, affecting normal use and drainage; if the floor drain is in the middle of the bathroom, which is not aesthetically pleasing and may affect the spatial layout and daily activities; if there is no floor drain in the wet area, making it impossible to drain effectively and leading to water accumulation problems; if the floor drain in the shower area is too far from the wall, resulting in poor drainage performance. In these specific situations, the position of the floor drain can be modified.

Selection of Modification Positions

The floor drain can be moved to a suitable position such as against the wall or in a corner. For example, moving it against the wall can reduce the occupation of the overall space in the bathroom and make the layout more reasonable; moving it to a suitable corner in the shower area can better meet the drainage needs during showering and improve drainage efficiency.

Key Points of Mobile Construction

When moving the floor drain, since the pipe runs along the ground and has a limited diameter, usually a 40mm pipe with a height of 4cm, half of the elbow needs to be cut off to make the floor drain flush with the ground. However, at this time, an odor-proof device cannot be added, so it is advisable to use a special floor drain as much as possible. When purchasing, be careful to distinguish to avoid buying the wrong one. After modification, it is recommended to buy a larger floor drain so that after tiling, it can be flush with the floor drain without gaps. At the same time, ensure that the slope is highest on the outside and lowest on the inside so that there will be no water accumulation later and the water flow will be better.

Potential Aftereffects of Relocation and Solutions

Relocating the floor drain may have the aftereffect of being prone to emitting bad odors unless there is an S-trap below the floor drain to block the odors. There are also various types of relocated floor drains available on the market, such as 360° universal offset floor drains and 304 stainless steel eccentric floor drains, with prices ranging from 2.2 yuan to 360 yuan. They can be selected according to actual needs and budget to reduce the probability of problems such as odor emission.
