Pipes in the bathroom or toilet should not be in visibility range. So they can spoil all design of the room. Therefore it is accepted to mask sewer and other types of pipes. But it is necessary to do it intelligently so that in case of accident to have access to pipes. Therefore it is the best of all to close pipes by means of boards or gypsum cardboard. Let's consider option with boards.
It is required to you
- Board or chipboard from 10 to 20 mm thick, tape measure, nails, pencil, hacksaw, drill, wooden traffic jams, tile, tiled glue.
Instruction
1. First of all take exact measurements. Measure toilet height, this digit will equal to length of board necessary for you. Then learn distance from wall to edge of pipe opposite to it and make small stock - one and a half-two centimeters. It will be board width. Then saw off board with such sizes, it will close pipe. The received board should be put to front part of pipe and to estimate by means of tape measure what width should be done for the second - side - board. Remember that one board has to come as a result slightly on another so that it was possible to hammer nail into face and to connect boards. Longwise the second board has to be the same, as well as the first.
2. Cut one more board according to the received sizes. Then apply it to the first and connect boards nails in 3-4 places. Nails have to be rather big. that boards kept together strong. Drill hole for hose in that board which hides front part of pipe. It will be opening of 150х120 mm in size. The hose which brings water to tank will come into it. It is important that there passed also captive nut by means of which the hose connects to drain tank. In side board it is also necessary to make opening, it has to equal approximately 150х120 mm. In it there has to pass the hand with wrench - in case of blockage of drain tank. To clean tank, it will be necessary to unscrew nut therefore to it there has to be access. Now densely apply collected design to walls and make mark pencil.
3. Now it is possible to start drilling of the wall. Remove design and drill on both walls of opening in 40 mm. Them has to be on 3-4 on each wall, they have to settle down as equals from each other distances, along the planned lines, but in space to corner in 1 cm. It is better to drill openings slightly obliquely because so will drive in more conveniently nails into board. Hammer wooden traffic jams into openings. Block water, unscrew hose at tank, put design and push hose in the prepared openings. Attach hose back. Now it is possible to connect water. That it was easier to beat boards, draw the lines proceeding from the middle of each stopper. They have to go towards design. Now put design into place and beat it to walls. If to hammer nails at the level of lines, they will get precisely to traffic jams. Then it is possible to paste tile on boards. Everything, your pipes are closed.
