FAQs
What types of toilets is this kit suitable for?
This kit is specifically designed for WC pans and bidets that have side-fixing holes for mounting.
Can this kit be used on plasterboard walls?
The kit is designed for solid base materials. For plasterboard, you would need to use appropriate plasterboard fixings or ensure the fixings are anchored into wall studs.
How many pieces are included in this kit?
The kit includes 10 pieces, providing a comprehensive set of fixings for installation.
Do I need any special tools to install this kit?
You will likely need a drill, drill bits suitable for your wall type, a screwdriver or wrench, and potentially a spirit level. These are not included in the kit.
What does 'side-fixing' mean?
Side-fixing refers to the method where the toilet pan or bidet is secured to the wall through holes located on its sides, rather than from the top or rear.
How can I protect delicate surfaces during installation?
The kit is designed with components that help distribute pressure, and it's recommended to ensure any included washers are correctly placed to avoid direct contact and stress on delicate surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Fixings do not feel secure
Ensure correct size drill bit was used for the wall type and plugs. Verify that the fixing is engaging with a solid part of the wall. Check if any protective washers are placed correctly.
Difficulty aligning holes
Slightly adjust the position of the toilet pan or bidet. Ensure no obstructions are preventing proper alignment.
Surface cracking during tightening
Loosen the fixing slightly and ensure protective washers are in place. Distribute pressure evenly when tightening. Avoid overtightening.
