Concealed flush tank walls are the best way to change the appearance of bathrooms. They have a sleek, modern and minimalist aesthetic that can increase their beauty. However, hanging the concealed flush tank wall could be a great challenge. Fear not; this article explains the procedure for hanging concealed flush tank walls for the maximum effect. At Alwadi, you can get the best service by hanging the concealed flush tank in the walls. 

Tools and Preparation 

Safety comes first: Before doing anything, it is important to maintain safety protocols. Gearing up with the proper personal protective equipment will protect you from threats. Safety glasses protect your eyes from dirt and debris caused by drilling and cutting. When handling tools and materials, you can also wear gloves to protect your hands from cuts and scrapes. 

Collecting Tools: After safety assembly, assemble the tools. A drill with various drill bits is important for creating holes in the wall for the mounting hardware. A level ensures that everything is lined up properly, across and down, for a perfect finish. A stud finder is an electronic tool that helps you find the wooden studs behind the plasterboard. These are necessary to hold the tank frame in place. A tape measure makes sure that all measurements are correct throughout the job. It’s helpful to have a pocket knife with a sharp blade for cutting through the plasterboard to make the panel for the flush mechanism buttons. If changes need to be made during plumbing work, a hacksaw might be needed to cut any pipes or PVC materials. You will need a sealant gun and a tube of silicone sealant to seal the access door. Lastly, a socket wrench set will help fit the tank frame and unit by tightening nuts and bolts.

Specific Hardware: You will need specific hardware to hang the tank, depending on your chosen model. It is always best to seek the manufacturer’s recommendation. The hardware will include anchor bolts, threaded rods, spacers and mounting brackets. The anchor bolts provide more tightening into the wall studs. 

Mounting the Frame

Marking the area is the most important thing. Use the stud finder to locate the wall studs where the concealed tank frame can be mounted. You can also mark the centre points of the studs with a pencil. Hold the tank frame against the wall to align with the intended toilet placement to ensure its level is correct. Wear your safety glasses, drill holes into the marked spots on the walls, and ensure they are the appropriate size for the anchor bolts specified in the tank manual. 

Safety of the Tanks

Before Concealing the Flush Tank Wall Hung, ensure it is secured properly. First, carefully position the tank frame against the wall and ensure it aligns with the mounting holes with inserted anchor bolts. It’s better to screw the threaded rods into the same holes on the tank frames to make sure the tank is properly secured. You can also slide the spacers on the threaded rods as well.  

Completing the Look

Remove the specified plasterboard length from the frame’s front using a utility knife and straightedge. This will allow you to construct the access panel for the flush mechanism buttons. Around the perimeter of the plasterboard cutout, generously apply a bead of silicone paste to prevent moisture from penetrating. The recommended drying time for sealant is as specified by the manufacturer. Carefully align the vanity unit you choose with the hidden tank frame and the location of the toilet bowl during installation. According to the factory instructions, you must connect the water supply line to the tank unit and the waste output pipe.

Conclusion
