Just a thought. A better idea than only using wood shims is to use grout. After you level with wood shims, apply grout around the base, pushing the grout under the base. Clean away the excess grout and let it dry. Then caulk around the base, sealing in the grout. Why? Wood rots over time. Grout is inorganic cement and limestone. It is impervious to water, heat, and pressure. When the wood fails over time, the grout keeps the toilet stable. I would not do this on a job because it adds time, but for my home I do.

for those who have struggles lining up the bowl with the bolts. i find it easier when possible to take the tank off to the side by unscrewing the nuts dragging the bowl forward while lifting enough so its not touching the wax ring and look at both sides to get an idea of where the bolts should be. then after making final level adjustments i drop it down and sit on the toilet and press on the seal then hook my tank back up level and done. other tip if you have a leaking shut off that wont close all the way take the handle off and use pliers for that last turn if not use a small bucket to catch water until the toilets in. or buy one of those 1/4 shut off hoses and screw it on to the existing shut off.

Nice job, but those shark bites are a gamble long term. That ability to rotate on the pipe can cause a small leak years later. It’s best to use the pex stops or stub out with copper and use the compression stops.

A couple points of consideration. You installed the toilet flange on top of the floating vinyl floor and screwed it down to the vinyl floor. The vinyl floor should have been cut out around the perimeter of the flange. Floating floors should never be secured down with fasteners. As the floor expands and contracts, it may buckle. Same issue with installing the vanity. It should never be installed on top of a floating floor. The floor should be installed around the perimeter of the vanity with the appropriate expansion/contraction gap.

Are there options, with say specific toilet manufacturers or class of toilets where the bottoms are made with more precision and tighter tolerances in their molds so they sit flat without having to utilize any wooden shims?

His already-installed baseboard was 1/2'", so that needs to be subtracted from the 12" rough-in . The 11.5" is from the baseboard, not from the wall.

Great Video! How do I deal with a 4" PVC drain coming out of concrete floor that is extremely tight for a male toilet flange? First attempt the flange did not seat flush to floor. It stopped about 1/2" high. I'm ready to seat another flange but need suggestions on how to get the flange down the tight pipe. Use more glue and go deeper with the glue? Appreciate any tips! Thanks

@cybs2956

Yes, Carefully using a small sharp chisel split one side of the flange working from the outside and going in, then remove another section of the flange cutting the section kind of like the shape of a small slice of pie. The name of the game is slow and easy. As you remove the small "slices" of the flange, carefully pull the slices away from the pipe. Yes you can remove a flange (or pipe fitting) if you do it a small piece at a time. PATIENCE and be careful and not break the pipe. The glued joint IS NOT as strong as the pipe so you can get it off. If you're the type of guy that grabs a hammer and starts whacking stuff hard, you're going to have trouble.

They are ok, but regular wax is a lot cheaper and will do the job just fine. I’ve seen the waxless rings covered in grossness when the toilet needs to be pulled & no way would I clean it and reuse. Just use a regular wax ring.

There's a reason why wax has been around for so long, it just plain seals and works better, wax forms perfectly, down to the smallest imperfection of the casting of the toilet, when compressed, rubber or silicone on the other hand cannot do that. Sure it takes what a couple minutes to use a putty knife and clean off all the old wax...and?????

I have been a general contractor for 33 years. Have only used the waxless gasket for the last 20 years. No mess and you can lift the toilet off several times without replacing the gasket. Great for remodels when the toilet needs to be put back in service each day.
