Hi. I am Bob Schmidt with Home Remodel Workshop. So, you finally found that toilet that you want to use in your new bathroom. You go to the suppliers to pick it up, it comes in two boxes. You got to put it together. Let’s get these open and let’s get to work.
This is the hardware that you will find in your typical two piece toilet box. Put the rubber washers on the bolts provided. Insert the bolts into the mounting holes inside the tank. Put the flat side of the tank gasket flush to the bottom of the tank with the tapered side facing away from the tank.
Here is a tip from experience. Take your tank gasket and apply a thin layer of pipe joint compound. This will help your gasket seep properly in the opening of the bowl giving you a good seal.
Align the bowl holes and gently place the tank on the bowl. Put the washers and nuts onto the tank bowls. Finger tighten until the bolts are extended about evenly.
Using your wrench, tighten the bolts each a little at a time until they are all snug being careful not to over tighten because you could crack the tank or bolt flange. A way to check your tightening is to pull gently side to side and back and forth on your tank making sure that there is not excessive movement. If necessary, tighten a little more and check again.
Attach the toilet seat. The tapered side of the nuts go up. Snap down the covers. Many toilet and tank combinations do not include the toilet seat, it must be purchased separately.
After the toilet is completely installed, put on the flinched bolt covers. This is the part of the system that bolts your toilet to the floor. There is a -, this side up, side to the cap washer. The cover will only snap on if the washer is right side up.
So there you go. Toilet is all assembled, ready to be put in place. Make sure you always read all your instruction manuals and you should have a fine time.
