Wall-hung toilets: installation and care

The Vega Square and Vega Round wall-hung toilets are installed on a concealed frame. Here are the installation steps and the care routine that keep the ceramic and the soft-close seat in good condition.

Before installation

  • Choose a wall-hung toilet frame compatible with 18 cm fixing centres, a Ø 10.2 cm horizontal outlet and a Ø 5.5 cm supply.
  • Check that the wall and floor can take the frame fixings.
  • Finish the wall cladding and tiling before fitting the bowl.
  • Inspect the bowl and the seat when you unpack them.

Installation, step by step

  1. Fix the frame following its instructions: plumb, level and at a height suited to the users.
  2. Connect the frame's outlet and supply, then plug the outlet while work continues.
  3. After cladding, cut the threaded rods and connectors to the length given in the frame instructions, according to the finished wall thickness.
  4. Offer up the bowl and push the outlet and supply connectors home, using the lubricant recommended by the frame manufacturer.
  5. Tighten the fixing nuts gradually, alternating sides, without forcing: the ceramic must not be under stress.
  6. Clip the soft-close seat onto its fixings.
  7. Turn the water on, flush several times and check every connection for leaks. Apply the sanitary silicone joint only after this test.

Everyday care

  • Clean the bowl with a mild detergent and a toilet brush. The rimless design leaves the whole inside within reach of the brush.
  • For limescale, apply white vinegar or diluted citric acid, leave it to act, then flush.
  • Wash the seat with soapy water, rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Leave it raised while it dries.
  • The seat is quick-release: remove it from time to time to clean the stainless steel hinges.

What to avoid

  • Scouring powders, abrasive pads and steel wool, which dull the glaze.
  • Strongly alkaline drain cleaners and solvents.
  • Bleach or chlorine-based products on the seat.
  • Mixing a descaler with bleach, which releases a dangerous gas.
  • Sitting with full weight on the closed lid or standing on the bowl.

Installation faults and damage caused by aggressive products are not covered by the warranty.
