Toilet

Besides matching colors and style with the rest of your bathroom or powder room, you will want to consider a few more points when installing a toilet in your home or office.

Position the closet bolts in their slots. Turn the toilet upside down and fit a wax ring gasket onto the toilet's outlet horn. Set the toilet over the bolts and onto the flange. An easy way to seat the ring is to literally sit on the toilet and rock it a bit.

Then put a level on the rim of the bowl and shim the base if needed. Snug, but don't over tighten the nuts and washers onto the closet bolts and again check the bowl for level. Attach the tank bolts/nuts to the bowl with the nuts outside so they don't rust. Hook up the water line, fill the tank, and adjust the float as needed. Finally, caulk around the base.
