How to Install a Toilet

Are you about to install a new toilet? Replacing a toilet is a simple project that anyone can do!

Before installing a toilet, you must measure your bathroom toilet's rough-in. The rough-in is the distance from the toilet bolts and the wall behind your toilet. The bowl shape is also important to consider. If you install an elongated bowl in a narrow bathroom, things might be a little uncomfortable.

Choosing the right seal between the floor and the base of our toilet is another important thing to consider. While wax rings are a popular toilet seal, wax-free seals are better than wax for beginners. They allow multiple attempts to set the toilet on the floor drain. A wax seal is ruined if the toilet is not set correctly on the first attempt.
