How much weight can a suspended toilet support?


Unlike conventional toilets, the hanging toilet is non-combusting and elegant. It allows to enhance the interior decoration style of a house while allowing a space gain.
Some models have even been specially studied to use only a small amount of water for economic hunting. But the question is: what weight can a suspended toilet stand?
The resistance of a WC suspended according to its support structure
Weight WC suspended can withstand depending on the technique used to install and also its own mass which can reach 20 kg. There are two types of support structures for this type of toilet: the self-supporting support structure and the support structure.
When the chassis is self-supporting, it has good robustness. So it can withstand a very heavy weight that can range up to 400 kg. Besides, this type of chassis usually has wide feet screwed to the ground. But it can also be attached to the wall, if this is the user's need.
As far as the frame-support is concerned, this frame draws its resistance on the carrying wall on which it is fixed. Thus, it cannot bear a heavy weight. Its strength is less than that of the self-supporting frame, i.e. it cannot accommodate 400 kg.
The resistance of a WC suspended according to its brand
Furthermore, the weight that can be borne by the suspended toilet also varies according to its brand. Some manufacturers define precisely in advance the resistance of their products to inform users and to optimize their use. Thus, it is possible to find on the market models that can only support up to 150 kg and also models that must be equipped with wide feet to support extra weights.
In any case, it should be recalled that the resistance of a suspended toilet is usually calculated with a seated person. Manufacturers do not consider persons standing on the bowl, or persons jumping on the bowl. So, you have to think about respecting good practices so you don't have to worry about hanging toilets.
