Wall hung toilet carrier installation in the #auneshop

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.

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.

I thought the title said "Well Hung Toilet"
I was wondering what that looked like
Nice clean install .... for a plumber

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....

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.

Thanks!!! Answered a couple questions I had!!

[anonymousbaros]

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!

What I like about this Geberit system (UP320/UP720 for us European people) is that they allow future expansion possibilities, like heated seats (if you run electrical line in the marked spot) and water jets (which use the same water valve and doesn't require a wall removal, see the nice plastic tubes on the left).

There is even additionals things like air filtering or water air fresheners blocks that fit inside of the push button (called Sigma) system

Anyways great product and if installed correctly definitely very sturdy (load tested till 400KG)

I normally have used the top hole for the valve, honestly never even thought to drop it off the back. Learned something new!

Super helpful video, thank you for sharing.

[MartyHuie]

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

[Casadoymantenido]

You saved me, I'm installing 3 of these soon. Ty for this video.

[yetiwagon]

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.

[pierrecharles]

Thanks for this video, this was extremely helpful!

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.

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

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.

[jimmielujan]

So does the toilet have a internal vent system or does it still rough in like a regular toilet with a 2" vent?

[sbavone]

Excellent presentation! One question, do you cut out the drywall for access to the water supply or do you burry it in the wall?

[GradiorDignus]

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.

[orderorchaos]

Look like it will be fun to service how do you replace the valve or fill valve?
