Watching this video 2 weeks after "trial and error" install of my new toilet. The install went well because we followed the instructions to the letter, but this video gives some great insight and understanding to what we did!

I've watched a lot of these toilet replace vids in prep to replacing my guest room's commode. This is 1 of my favorite because it is clear and concise!😊

Great to see one of these showing when to do shimming during a fresh install. I've seen a number of videos where they mention shimming in passing, but the videos that actually show how to shim show it being done on a fully installed toilet. I've got one that needs shimming as part of the install process, and now I know exactly when to do it. Thanks!

Bought a house years ago with a wobbly toilet. Never thought to shim. Got the shims on the way as we speak. Thank you for this vid!

Nice! Hope they work out well for you. I've been using the flexible Wobble Wedge brand for years. Saved me on a lot of jobs with uneven floors. Cheers!

Excellent video in all regards. I have the same one and will be installing it soon. I noticed if u were to install the bowl without the tank you can see the holes for the screws through the holes that are for the tank. Thanks again. Very helpful!

I agree. It's pretty much my go-to when the client doesn't have a preference.

Silicone where the toilet meets the floor?

@voightg 2 жыл бұрын

Why the choice of using an extra thick wax ring? The flange was level with the floor.

@suncitynews Жыл бұрын

it's soft wax, it squeezes down to form a thinner wider sticky aggressive watertight seal between the toilet and the tile. That's how they all come. Push the toilet down "firmly" that smashes it down and pushes the toilet to the flooring.

@patrickwhelan5703 Жыл бұрын

Did you drop the toilet on your shoeless feet?

Isn’t it a LOT easier to install the bowl, THEN attach the tank. That way installing the bowl is lighter and easier,to install.

@PROSDIY 2 жыл бұрын

That works as well. It's just a personal preference to build the toilet before installing. I find it easier than reaching over the installed bowl to tighten the tank. Especially when the toilet is tight against a wall or cabinet. I have all my apprentices build the new toilet completely before removing the old toilet. This makes sure all the parts are there and if they break the toilet in the process of connecting the tank, the client still has a usable toilet installed.

@voightg 2 жыл бұрын

@@PROSDIY Also, some toilets have a third tank screw in the back that can be hard to reach when the bowl is already installed.
