Wall Mounted Toilet Rough In

Installing a wall mounted toilet is a great way to save space and create a more modern look in your bathroom. However, it's important to make sure that the rough in is done correctly in order to ensure a successful installation.

### Step 1: Choose a Location

The first step is to choose a location for your wall mounted toilet. The toilet should be placed on a wall that is perpendicular to the floor and has enough space to accommodate the toilet bowl and tank. You'll also need to make sure that there is enough space behind the wall to accommodate the plumbing.

### Step 2: Mark the Location of the Drain Pipe

Once you have chosen a location for your toilet, you need to mark the location of the drain pipe. The drain pipe is typically located in the floor, but it can also be located in the wall. If the drain pipe is located in the floor, you'll need to use a tape measure to mark the distance from the wall to the center of the drain pipe. If the drain pipe is located in the wall, you'll need to use a stud finder to locate the studs and then mark the location of the drain pipe on the wall.

### Step 3: Cut the Hole for the Drain Pipe

Once you have marked the location of the drain pipe, you need to cut a hole in the wall for the drain pipe. The hole should be large enough to accommodate the drain pipe and any fittings that you may need to use. You can use a drill or a reciprocating saw to cut the hole.

### Step 4: Install the Drain Pipe

Once you have cut the hole for the drain pipe, you need to install the drain pipe. The drain pipe should be made of PVC or ABS and should be the correct size for the toilet. You'll need to use a pipe cutter to cut the pipe to the correct length and then use a pipe wrench to tighten the fittings.

### Step 5: Install the Carrier Frame

The carrier frame is a metal frame that supports the toilet bowl and tank. The carrier frame is typically made of steel or aluminum and is designed to be mounted to the wall. You'll need to use a level to make sure that the carrier frame is level and then use screws to secure it to the wall.

### Step 6: Install the Toilet Bowl and Tank

Once you have installed the carrier frame, you can install the toilet bowl and tank. The toilet bowl is typically made of porcelain or ceramic and is designed to fit on the carrier frame. The toilet tank is typically made of plastic or ceramic and is designed to be mounted on the wall. You'll need to use a wrench to tighten the bolts that secure the toilet bowl and tank to the carrier frame.

### Step 7: Connect the Water Supply Line

The last step is to connect the water supply line to the toilet. The water supply line is typically made of copper or PEX and should be the correct size for the toilet. You'll need to use a pipe wrench to tighten the fittings that connect the water supply line to the toilet.
