Bad plumbing and old fixtures are not something you have to
endure. With a few basic skills and tools, anyone can upgrade their bathroom
with a new, more efficient toilet.
Measure
Before you go out and buy your toilet, make sure your new
model will fit in place of the old one. Make a note of where your old toilet
fits by measuring from the wall to the centre of the unit and ensure your new
model is the same size or smaller. This is especially true if space is tight.
Out with the old
Be sure to turn off the water and remove any remaining water
before you start. Remove the toilet in pieces to save you and your house from
damage. Try not to break it because you can potentially sell or donate your
older model. Also be sure to place covering down at this time to ensure you
don’t get old gasket wax on the rest of the bathroom
In with the new
Make sure to follow the manufacturers’ instructions for your
model. Install the new one the same way you remove the old one - in
pieces. First, install the bowl followed
with the tank. When you have made sure each piece fits and you are happy with
the installation, simply tighten and seal in place. Tighten bolts alternately
to ensure it’s even and be sure not to over-tighten.
Finishing up
After everything is in place and the sealant has dried, turn
on the water and relax. You’re all done!
