In this video you'll see all the parts included for a Geberit residential wall-hung toilet carrier and how it is installed in my post frame building I and in the process of finishing to use as a shop for my plumbing and heating business.
Currently just finishing off a Toto rough-in... First time doing a residential wall hung toilet. I also installed on additional shut off valve under the sink going to the toilet. It's funny the Toto instructions show the feet sitting on the subfloor and not the stud wall... I thought it was kind of strange but went with it. Good job by the way nice clean install....
Great video. I just had one installed in my bathroom. Unfortunately the Duravit toilet bowl, when bolted in, left a 1/8” gap between the wall and the back of the toilet. Plus it rocks up and down, when you push down on it. Is this normal, any thoughts appreciated. Thanks.
Excellent video showing the installation of the tank-less toilet. There is more work involved in installing the tank-less compared to the 2 one-piece toilets I just installed along with toilet seat bidets. The way my 2 bathrooms are configured I don't need the extra 6 - 8 inches you gain from a wall hung toilet. Thank you for your excellent video.
Cannot thank you enough, this one video answered 1000 questions I had mainly can anyone hang residential toilet fit this carrier and you answered that at approximately 13:00 minutes when you're done I really really appreciate it can't wait to see the next video I plan on installing three of these on my new home I'm building in North Carolina
Nice 💯 great explanation. Only thing that sucks is that shut off valve. WTX hard water locks up shut off valves so if I was putting these in I'd modify that so it could be easily replaced. Thank You for the Video!
We've installed five wall hung toilets in two homes with two general contractors and two plumbers. As the owner, we much prefer the wall hung because they are so much easier to clean around. Even our vacuum/mopping robot can clean underneath unimpeded. We've used Geberit/Duravit and have been very happy. We also went with carriers for 5.5 inch walls, which makes access to the toilet's tank and internals easier for future maintenance. I would not recommend a carrier for a 3.5 inch wall. For GC's, it is important they communicate with the plumber to get the correct height. With floor mount toilets, the owners already selected the fixture, which sets the seat height. Being over 60, we wanted a seat height of 18.5 to 19 inches ("comfort height" for arthritic knees). Since the plumber is typically installing when only the subfloor is in, the plumber needs to know accurately the finished floor elevation to set the right toilet seat height. Owners may need some guidance on selecting the seat height. Both of our plumbers got the seat height wrong on the first try - we checked the carrier at the rough in stage and had to help the plumbers get it right. The GC needs to get the framing correct too. Typically standard framing will get thrown in and then adjusted when the toilet carrier is installed. There is a lot of cantilevered weight on the carrier and it is important it is attached to two full height studs anchored to the top and bottom plates of the wall, and not on a stud scabbed in after adjusting to fit the toilet location. If they try to head off a short stud located for the carrier, that header will get compromised by the holes drilled for the plumbing later. The GC also needs to mark the back wall behind the carrier showing the tank location - so a cabinet installer, or another trade, does not accidentally drill or screw into the back of the tank after sheet rock is up.
great video, thank you. funny to see so much wood, im picking through so much garbage 2x material that ive started using steel studs and sistering 2x4 strips of plywood for stiffness.
We installed two Geberit Toilets in our 1948 House. The city inspector asked us to install steel plates on the back side of the plastic water tank, which we did. Our Plumber like our toilets, he installed 4 of them in a house he was remodeling. One of the carpenters drove a few nails with a nail gun into his toilet tank and wished that he had installed the steel plates.
In germany we only use this System. Well its a german product. They have carrier for everything in your bathroom. At home, I just installed the shower sink. The water goes into the wall aswell. Very cool
Great video! I wish that USA/Canada understand what a modern house is capable of. What I moved to Canada I was shocked about the poor build quality and outdated utility technology.
Thats true they build House like the first Pilgrim,i work with this System for Decades,Geberit eaven selling Metal Profile for the Wall System in Bathroom and a new Technique for Soundproofing
the 1/2'" bolts have two options for mounting the bowl (spread) also try using red heads through the bottom plats into the concrete as also its suggested to use " hardy backer" on the wall behind toilet as it wont compress.
Hi there, I am installing a exact same brand … is that any way to change the distance between the water inlet and the drain .. for some reason, the rough in I have is 4 1/2” between the 2” water inlet and 3” outlet but the toilet is 5 1/2” centre to centre.. not sure if I got the rough in wrong or the wrong toilet .? Plz help.
Hi - great video. We are about to get our Geberit tank. We have a 2X6 wall but want to get the 2X4 tank. Do you see any disadvantages in installing a 2X4 unit into a 2X6 wall? Thank you!
way longer then a normal (outdated toilet) i've install tons of these in the netherlands and they lasted a full 30 years without needing any maintenance. after the 30 years the house got remodeled including the toilet.
A lot of work is right , he says it’s simple , it’s far from simple it took me days to fit one of these , the floor mounted one is simple , maybe he meant the floor mounted toilet 🚽 🤨
These are whats known as plumbing carrier systems. Normally these types of mounts are found in commercial/large buildings constructed of concrete floors. There are carriers for sinks and toilets. These carrier systems should be mounted with additional steel if its a residential install and ALWAYS anchored to the concrete in commercial settings. If you install one of these systems in a residential home you have to reinforce the walls and floors accordingly because you're not going to have the concrete to give you that strength. Depending on the weight of the individuals sitting on this toilet or leaning on a wall hung sink over time you're asking for problems and the repairs involved can be costly if you're not an experienced plumber or diy person. Especially with a flush system concealed like this. Yeah it looks great and modern in your house but if not done right youre going to have fixtures that are not solid and will leak over time. For this guy not to anchor the bottom feet of this carrier to the concrete I feel is cutting corners. As well as the studs in the wall. Those 2x6's on either side should be sistered at the minimum and not lagged but bolted with all thread with nuts and lockwashers or thread locked. Done properly these carrier systems will/should last a lifetime and they look great and are so much easier to keep clean. Four lousy lag bolts close to the finished surface of the stud doesn't seem sufficient. Think about the leverage on the top lag bolts with a heavy weightload on the commode over time. Speaking to the diy'ers out there
