Abstract

The foot support (5) has an H-shaped beam (6) as well as two feet (7). The beam (6) and the feet (7) are made from metal pipes with rectangular cross section. The height of the foot support (5) is adjusted by adjusting the depth of insertion of the feet (7) into the beam (6). The feet (7) and the beam (6) have bent parts (7a and 6c) for fastening. The foot support (5) is also suitable for in-front-of-the-wall mounting and the in-the-wall mounting of the installation block. The feet (7) are inserted into the beam (6) such that its bent parts (7a) are directed toward the building wall (1) in the first case and away from the wall in the second case. The foot support (5) has a high load-bearing capacity and is particularly suitable for the installation of a wall-mounted toilet in front of a light-construction wall.
