Definitions

• the invention relates to a mounting module for mounting a cistern and a method for realizing a pre-wall in front of such a mounting module as well as a method for realizing a WC installation with a WC body installed on a front side of a pre-wall.
• the mounting module extends along a vertical line with a height and along a transversal line with a width and forms a front side, wherein the front wall is usually arranged on the front side of the mounting module extending along the vertical and transversal lines.
• the front wall can have openings through which elements of the mounting module extend, so that the front wall is only arranged in front of sections of the front of the mounting module and further sections of the mounting module extend in front of the front wall, so that they form front wall side sections of the mounting module, which are arranged in front of the front wall.
• the flush pipe connection and the drain pipe connection of the assembly module are accessible from the front, so that in the operating position of the assembly module a toilet body with its flush water inlet connection and its waste water outlet connection can be connected to the flush pipe connection and the drain pipe connection from the front of the assembly module.
• Generic mounting modules are suitable for the particularly simple installation of a toilet.
• the provision of the module frame which usually has at least two vertically running support struts and at least two transverse struts connecting the support struts, enables easy installation of the cistern and a toilet body in a room. This is because the module frame can be placed with its vertical underside on a room floor and fixed to the room floor and in particular to a wall bordering the room, for example the supporting structure for a drywall or a building wall, so that a cistern fixed to the module frame and a toilet body fixed to the module frame can be arranged in a simple and reliable manner in a room.
