Some people choose to install their toilets themselves after purchasing them. The steps for installing a toilet can typically be divided into the following five steps. Here is a simple introduction.

How to Properly Install a Toilet: Tips and Tricks:

1、Toilet Inspection

Before installation, we need to inspect the toilet. For instance, we can measure the rough-in distance of the bathroom and compare it to the rough-in distance of the toilet to check if they match. We should also check the surface of the toilet for any cracks. Additionally, prepare tools and materials such as a water supply hose, sealing flange, silicone sealant, measuring tape, marker, wrench, and cutting machine.

2、Preliminary Preparation

Before installing the toilet, we should remove any plugs from the drainage pipe and check for blockages by pouring water down the pipe. Generally, the drainage pipe should extend about 1-2 centimeters above the floor. If the drainage pipe is too high, we may need to cut it down with a cutting machine. Before installation, check if the floor is level with a level tool; if it’s not, address the unevenness. Also, ensure the toilet water valve is turned off and clear any debris from the floor.

3、Locating and Marking

Using a ruler and marker, draw a center cross on the floor where the toilet’s waste outlet is and where the drainage pipe is. The cross lines can be extended slightly; for example, the cross for the toilet waste outlet can be extended towards the side of the toilet. Next, align the toilet waste outlet cross with the drainage pipe cross and mark the outline of the toilet on the floor before removing the toilet.

4、Installing the Toilet

When installing the toilet, lay it on its side, and then install the sealing flange onto the toilet waste outlet. Next, load silicone sealant into a caulking gun and apply a circle of sealant around the marked outline on the floor. Carefully align the toilet waste outlet with the drainage pipe and gently lower it into place. After securing the toilet to the floor with the sealant, apply a layer of silicone sealant around the base of the toilet for additional sealing. You can also use screws to fix the toilet in place.

5、Installing Other Components

Insert the water supply valve into the water tank inlet and secure it with a nut underneath. Adjust the height of the water supply valve as needed. When installing the flush valve, first fix its base to the drain hole with screws, then attach the flush valve body to the base. Once all the tank components are installed, cover the tank with its lid. Next, install the toilet seat by placing the bolts in the slots of the toilet seat, aligning them with the installation holes, and tightening the nuts. Finally, connect one end of the water supply hose to the water tank inlet and the other end to the water valve, then turn on the water valve.

In conclusion:this is a brief introduction to how to install a toilet by yourself. I hope that this article can provide reference and assistance for your future toilet installations. For more related information, please continue to follow Hawkrown.com.
