I removed a 32 year old toilet from my master bath and installed the American Standard Champion tall height today. It was the first one I've ever done myself. This video and your others really helped. I also replaced the shutoff valve which was also 32 years old. Removing the old nut ferrule was a pain since I didn't have the proper removal tool, but I got it off and the new quarter turn installed. Thank you for this and all your great videos!

I was admiring your ability to do the entire job on your kneels, or that way you sit back on your heels. Did not note a lot of editing. Not many adults can do that. Certainly not for over 15 minutes! My knees are so bony, carpet feels like raw rice on hardwood. Excellent tutorial! Thank you!

Great and useful video. New subscriber and definitely sharing. Any video that you recommend for my gusset toilet. From the inside at the bottom of the seat the holes are completely clog so there is no flow on the inside on the sides. Hope I explained myself. Any ideas ?

I have never seen that before? Maybe change the toilet out to a new one?

After some frustrating attempts to disassemble toilets for remodeling, I would up putting anti seize lube on the tank bolt threads, If you don't the metal seizes even if they are brass. The nylon nut driver is a great idea !

@JustinL614 3 жыл бұрын

Is that from over tightening?

@rzh3443 3 жыл бұрын

@@JustinL614 Not at all- you'd be surprised what happens to metal after 10 plus years of service, brass notwithstanding. I always use a stubby wrench on any tank or bowl to floor nuts, but the tank nylon wrench seems great as it provides easy reach if the toilet was already in place and you have to take it apart.

Hello Can you explain when I would need a 3.25 window jamb vs a 2.625 window jamb. The windows have nailers for a wooden frame house that is 120 years old. The walls are 2x4. Thanks Rudy

@davewhipple4815 3 жыл бұрын

Will a toilet that sits normally straight forward with a window behind you ,be turned say to the right so that you can look out the window now on your left? Will the holes line up?

@HouseImprovements 3 жыл бұрын

Most likely you will not get an existing toilet to do that . The flange has to turn to allow the bolt holes to be in the right position . Also you will most likely end up with the back of the toilet a fair distance from the new back wall and really tight to the new side wall.

I like the slow close I put on my toilet upstairs, but I have to remember when using the other two in the house or at someone else's house, NOT to let go of the seat and/or the lid! Other than that, the slow close works well. I once had to buy a whole new toilet just to replace the tank. There was a small crack near the water inlet pipe and I couldn't seal it. I didn't know if there are any sealants for toilet cracks. Thing is, the crack was only about 1 to 2 inches long. What is available for such a repair?

Honestly I don't know why toilets aren't all tank and stool in one unit. Some are, but why isn't this the regular normal toilet? Also I like a concealed trapway, where there's just flat porcelain around the whole thing. So much easier to clean and not a dust trap. My two cents

@JustinL614 3 жыл бұрын

Too heavy and bulky to get in tight spaces

@HouseImprovements 3 жыл бұрын

Ya I would guess shipping costs factor into it because they would be a little bulkier . I agree about the concealed trap toilets being much easier to clean.
