German Grohe Models
Grohe's installation is popular and in demand. The system offered by the German manufacturer is represented by several models, so the Grohe installation can be selected complete with a toilet bowl that complements the installed bidet. You can also consider a solution such as a wall-hung toilet with a bidet function, which solves the problem of functionality and saves space as much as possible.
Installation with a Grohe toilet at first glance seems to be an intricate and difficult to install design, but in fact, its installation does not cause difficulties. In this case, combinations of a proprietary design and a toilet or bidet of another brand are allowed. Grohe toilet installation is characterized by the following qualities:
- Versatility;
- High strength and long service life;
- Ensuring water savings;
- The presence of a miniature revision window on the tank;
- No noise during operation.
The only drawback that the Groe toilet installation has is its high cost (depending on the model, the price exceeds 10 thousand rubles).
How to install everything correctly
The installation process is quite simple. However, in the course of work, it must be remembered that final finishing will be carried out on top of the structure. The slightest mistake in installation will entail the dismantling of not only the structure, but also the decor.
It is worth carefully reading the instructions attached to the equipment, and making a careful calculation. The actual installation of the bidet installation involves three stages:
Frame installation. The process will vary slightly depending on the type of system chosen, but in general it is the same. First of all, you should correctly position the main structural elements
When installing a block installation, attention should be paid to the reliability of fixing the anchor bolts. Reinforced frame structures suggest the direction of the main load on the floor, universal ones will require its uniform distribution
Designs of all types require height adjustments, which are made by special retractable legs that change their length by no more than 20 cm. The final distance from the floor to the top of the installed bidet can vary up to 43 cm. depth, which are produced by special extensions and vary from 125 to 185 mm. All installations are equipped with special studs designed to secure the bidet. The standard distance between them is 230 or 180 mm.
Plumbing connection. In the course of work, special attention is paid to the reliability and tightness of the connection. The most correct decision is to carry out installation, guided by a pre-prepared bidet scheme, which will indicate the model of equipment and the type of mixer to be installed. If you intend to use an electronically controlled faucet that runs on a mains adapter, you need to think in advance about the layout and combination of power supply and water supply.

. Pretty simple step. The bowl is installed in its place and secured with studs. Then the mixer is mounted and connected. This completes the installation of the bidet installation.
Installation installation is carried out depending on the type of the selected system
The practicality and functionality of the installations is undeniable. The design is made of steel, which allows it to securely fix the bidet and withstand heavy loads up to 400 kg. Hanging equipment mounted on it has an attractive appearance, significantly saves space, visually expanding the room, and facilitates the process of cleaning the room.Properly installed installation for a bidet makes it possible to get safe, practical and beautiful equipment for your bathroom.
What is she for?
Using the installation for a bidet allows you to install equipment on almost any part of the room, provided that it is possible to connect the necessary communications to the system. However, it must be remembered that despite the wide installation possibilities, it is still best to install a bidet in the immediate vicinity of the toilet and preferably at the same level as it.
The installation allows you to use the space as efficiently as possible - all pipes can be hidden behind the decor
Another advantage of using the installation is a significant space saving, which is achieved due to the fact that all communication systems are hidden behind the decor of the building. At the same time, special repair windows allow access to all elements of the equipment.
When is the choice of installation justified?
Installing a bidet with installation is the best solution in the following situations:
- Wall hung toilet with installation and bidet are in close proximity to each other and on the same level.
- An additional wall allows you to hide communication leads and systems behind external decor without violating the overall style. Repair windows are provided for access to the equipment.
- The toilet with bidet installation is fixed in a corner, niche or on a double-sided partition.
- The decor of the bathroom can be significantly affected by pipes, water supplies, sewer drains remaining in sight.

What is taken into account during installation
Installation installation is not difficult if the following recommendations are taken into account:
- Installation of the installation is recommended in the presence of a perfectly flat floor (the criterion becomes especially important if a frame structure is designed). The presence of minor defects on the walls is allowed. If there is no evenness of the floor, the installation procedure is preceded by leveling the floor covering;
- When several plumbing fixtures are adjacent, it is necessary to ensure a minimum distance between the toilet and bidet in order to facilitate installation;
- The attachment points are adjustable in height due to retractable legs that raise the frame above the floor by a distance of about 35 cm (minimum value - 20 cm). Thus, fixing the frame on the ceiling does not interfere with the alignment of the bidet and toilet, which is extremely convenient;
- The main frame is set to the desired depth using extensions that allow you to adjust the initial size by about 15 cm;
- The installation of the Grohe installation and models of other manufacturers is carried out with the fixation of the structure by means of anchor bolts, for screwing in which holes of a suitable diameter are drilled (the size-determining factor is the weight of the bidet, the planned operating load).
Thus, during the installation process, the frame is first tried on to the supporting surfaces and the anchor locations are marked, after which blind holes are drilled (both the wall and the floor are drilled for the frame). Then anchor fixation is performed, the position of the frame is adjusted (it is recommended to use extensions and legs) and the anchor is finally fixed.
As practice shows, a special steel frame of installations provides reliable fixation of plumbing equipment, the weight of which can reach 400 kg. As a result of the installation, the appearance of the bathroom is noticeably improved, space is saved without sacrificing functionality, the bathroom is easy to maintain, as cleaning is simplified.

The above points are achievable if the installation is properly installed, since even the slightest deviations in size can adversely affect the quality of the final finish that hides a complex structure. Therefore, you need to carefully calculate the dimensions and do not neglect the instructions attached to the model.
What is an installation
The installation is a special design, through which the bidet can be securely attached to the wall. The basis of such an element is a self-supporting frame with built-in crossbars.The frame elements are adjustable and set to the required height, so the bidet installation is easy to install not only on flat, straight walls, but also in corners, which further saves space.
- Block. It is possible to install only on solid brick or concrete walls. Structurally, it has the form of a body with fittings attached to it. Reliance on the floor in this embodiment is not provided, anchors are used for fastening to the wall, therefore it is on such elements that the main load falls.
- Frame. This is a special frame made of metal, in which elements for fixing the reinforcement are provided. The structure is fixed at four points - one pair of points is on the wall, the other is on the floor. A feature of this type is the ability to adjust the installation depth, so it is possible to install in any niche. The structure is mounted on both solid and lightweight plasterboard walls.
You can purchase a universal version that is applicable in any situation, regardless of the type of walls and the size of the installation site.
