something that we should leave to the professionals.
This is partially true, if you don't have time then it's probably better idea to leave a professional plumber work. But if you have a little time and are willing to make a little effort in this House project, installing a bathroom is a great job to start for the first time with an installation.
In fact you can have one installed in a few simple steps, that we will see then step by step.
What you will need
First of all, you will need to get the tools and materials ready before you start the installation process.
Most bathrooms come with all the pieces you need, in any case, you're going to require a toilet ring as well as 5/16 inch bolts to lock the toilet.
If you are replacing an old toilet with a new one, remove the former by cutting off the water supply and pulling the chain out, removing excess water with a bucket.
On the bottom of the tank exactly on the left side, you will find a nut that holds the water line to the ball key, you have to remove that.
You will also need to remove the two screws that block the toilet to the floor.
Once this is done, simply lift the toilet. On the floor you will notice a circular flange, this is where you are going to mount your new toilet.
Put the 5/16 inch bolts into the holes with the heads on the inside so they are straight and opposite each other. Place the new toilet ring on the flange with the flat side up.
Now just put the new toilet on the flange so that the bolts are in the right places.
Apply a little pressure so that the ring makes a seal to mount the toilet on the floor.
Hook-up time
The next part of the toilet installation is to tighten the screws with nuts and washers, but carefully (excessive adjustment will cause the bowl to wear). Just have the bolts to tighten firmly.
Now you have to install the cistern, you will have to push the mounting bolts at the bottom, as you did with the flange. In this case, you will have to place the rubber washers to ensure a perfect fit.
Place a rubber ring over the discharge tube (this is where the tank meets the Bowl). Make sure the ring is securely fastened and the bolts pass through the holes.
Tighten these bolts with the washers, get someone to hold the tank firmly down so you can screw tight.
Now what you need to put is one of the most important parts of the installation, the handle of the toilet, remember to turn the nut in the opposite direction, as it is a reverse thread.
Then connect the fin and chain to the inside of the tank. Once done, you are ready to attach the toilet cover to the cup.
There must be a water line ready to enter the bottom of the cistern, connect and then open the water. Keep an eye open for leaks, and then strip the chain several times.
If the container retains water without any problems, you are ready to screw the bowl to the ground. If there are still some shakes, you can use rubber wedges to stabilize things.
Once you have screwed the bowl, cut the ends of the bolts and put the plastic cap on them.
Putting a little putty around the base of the cup is also a good idea as it offers a shield and greater stability.
