1. Matters needing attention in bathtub installation
1. It is important to choose the size
For the installation of bathtubs, the choice of size is actually a very important aspect, because the size of the size is related to the location of the installation, etc. For example, our bathroom area is very large, so when choosing a bathtub, there is a relatively large The degree of freedom, how to install the bathtub will also become a very simple problem. However, if the size of the bathroom is very limited, the position of the bathtub may be relatively fixed, and the installation position is limited.
2. Treatment method of skirt and bottom
How to install a bathtub? Special attention should be paid to the treatment of the skirt and bottom, because the installation of the bathtub is generally carried out during the decoration process, not after it is completely completed. Therefore, according to the actual size of the bathtub, the skirt should be built with bricks and cement. Add tiles to the upper part of the skirt, and build a platform with bricks and cement at the bottom. The height is preferably just to the bottom of the bathtub. At the same time, the sewer pipe must be installed correctly during installation.
3. The use of glass glue is very important
In the installation of many toilets and wash basins, the use of glass glue is very common, and how to install bathtubs, there are also requirements for the use of glass glue. Although the volume of the bathtub is relatively heavy, for the stability and extension of the bathtub To ensure the service life of the bathtub, it is recommended to apply glass glue on the place where the bathtub contacts the skirt and the wall. This can ensure that the bathtub is dry and prevent the intrusion of water, which can prolong the service life.
4. Check whether the level, front and back, and left and right positions of the bathtub are appropriate, check whether the drainage facilities are suitable, and install them firmly. During the installation process, anti-dirty, anti-bump, and anti-blocking facilities are adopted for the bathtub and sewage facilities, such as angle grinders and spot welders. Do not splash the sparks on the bathtub, otherwise it will cause damage to the glaze and affect the appearance of the bathtub.
5. The installation of the jacuzzi must be equipped with a grounding wire and a leakage protection switch. When installing, pay attention to connecting the electric plug and waterproofing around the pad to avoid leakage accidents. Before connecting the water pipe, do a power-on test of the motor to check whether its sound meets the requirements.
6. Before installing the bathtub with bracket, check whether the ground where the bathtub is placed is flat; after placing the bathtub in the reserved position, use a spirit level and adjust the support nuts until the bathtub is level.
7. Pay attention to the protection of the bathtub. In the process of bathtub installation and house decoration, soft materials can be used to cover the surface of the bathtub. Do not stand on the bathtub for construction, or place heavy objects on the edge of the bathtub to prevent damage to the bathtub. The bathtub can be used 24 hours after installation.
Second, the bathtub installation points
1. Bathtub placement form: independent and embedded
For bathtub installation, first of all, you need to understand the form of bathtub placement. Generally, there are two types of bathtub placement: independent and embedded. The shelving type means placing the bathtub directly on the bathroom floor. This method is convenient for construction and easy to maintain, and is suitable for use when the floor has been decorated. Embedded is to embed all or part of the bathtub into the countertop. Compared with the embedded bathtub, it is easy and convenient to enter and exit, and is suitable for the weak.
2. Key points of independent bathtub installation
Freestanding bathtubs are easier to install. Among them, the installation of the water inlet and outlet is the key issue. Before installation, it is necessary to reserve or modify the bathtub outlet and other channels, then place the bathtub on two wooden bars, connect the upper and lower water, try to fill the bathtub with water, and check whether the water leaks. If there is no leakage, the wooden strip can be taken out. The bathtub is basically installed.
3. Embedded bathtub installation points
Embedded bathtub installation focuses on waterproofing. The main steps are as follows: after the tubing is completed, in order to achieve the waterproof effect, the slotted parts must be repaired, and it is best to check whether there will be water leakage within a day or two; lay the floor in a normal order; use foam brick pads A good built-in bathtub, the height is generally within 60cm; pay attention to prepare a 250x300mm normal-sized inspection hole at the position of the downpipe.
