Toilet

Installing your toilet

Set the new floor bolts in putty and insert them through the flange, adjusting the bolts so they line up with the center of the drainpipe. With the new toilet bowl turned upside down, position the new wax gasket over the toilet horn on the bottom of the bowl. Apply putty around the entire bottom edge of the bowl.

Using the bolts as guides, lower the bowl into place over the flange. Press down firmly while giving a slight twist. It is important that you feel the toilet being pushed into the wax ring. If you do not feel this, the flange is set too low and you will not get a good wax seal between the flange and the horn (waste outlet). Also, if the wax ring is cold, it will not properly seat. You may need to warm it in the sun for awhile until it is pliable.
