Struggling with the renovation of the bathroom means to respect specific distances in the arrangement of furniture, components and accessories in order to make the space fully functional and allows an easy and safe use. One of the variables to consider is the maximum distance of the toilet from the draining pipe to help the correct flow of liquids. Here, then, the minimum lenght needed to design a fully functional toilet.
The maximum distance of the toilet from the drain column
Sometimes a careful bathroom renovation cannot overlook the need to dismantle and rebuilt the bathroom facilities to improve the look, create new partitions or rethinking the configuration of the room. Redesigning the internal layout may require to get too far from the drains, with the risk, in this case, of an insufficient ventilation or the minimum slope column that could cause sewage smell in the bathroom or a malfunction of the plumbing systems.
The maximum distance of the toilet from the drain column depends on several variables: first, the features of the plumbing systems, but even the thickness of the screeds and the type of sewer (wall or floor drain).
In general, the maximum distance of the toilet from the main drain should not exceed 4 meters, with a 2% minimum slope. Within these limits, the plumbing system can guarantee an effective draining, avoiding bad smells and the problem of emptying the siphons.
