Scare tactics, give me a break... You wouldn't believe how many of my calls and repairs are from homeowners trying to save a buck. But no, go ahead install all you want. The difference is that when I install something, I put it in so that I'll never have a problem with it. This video doesn't show you what to do with a broken flange that cast iron does it? Not all toilets come up without a problem.
oh and dont use caulk if the area under you're toilet is a finished area. You will surely have a mold issue if it leaks and wont even realize it. Rather to let it leak onto the bathroom floor so you know you have the leak before you have a carpenter come in with the plumber
Well im a plumber and i can tell you home owners always crack the porcelain on the bowl and the tank and forget the wax ring, forget the tank gasket, turn the water on before actually attaching it to the tank, etc.... Leave it to a professional folks you'll save money
@downtownchampion Err, wrong. Just installed 3 today in the house and it only took a few hours. It is a very simple task. If you follow the instructions anyone could do it. You, as in plumbers, just want to make a easy few hundred bucks.
@downtownchampion way to use scare tactics for business! I've never done anything like this before but by watching the video and following the steps closely I installed two toilets. It took a while, but I didn't crack the bowl, no leaks and they both work perfectly.
I'm no handyman at all whatsoever, but with this video I successfully installed our toilet and now I want to do everything around here with Home Depot videos Thanks for this!
If you plan on removing and replacing your bathtub drain you will need this amazing new tool the EzXtractor. You will be finished the job in minutes nothing is easier or faster
I'm not a plumber , but this guy doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.. Even I know better than that.. By the way he looks retarded with that bright ass apron.. Home Depo sucks! & this video too..
only a few mistakes. 1 install the wax ring to the toilet flange, not the toilet. 2 when installing new toilet to new wax ring push evenly down...dont rock or you will cause a leak. 3 use plastic shims not wood
The two most common areas that I've seen fail in my rental properties is the water inlet valve at the bottom usually fails because of age, and the float mechanism gets stuck causing the water to run continuously.
I just did this tonight for the first time. When I watched this video I thought -- they make it look easier than it really is. You know what? It really is that easy. I am far from a handy guy, and I knocked it out in 90 minutes.
If you just caulk around the front half of the bowl to the floor, the back will still allow evidence of seal leakage. The front half is where most of the liquid or debris would likely get under the bowl.
Something else to keep in mind if you need shims.Place them around the back section of the toilet and use plastic or some other material that will not absorb water and deteriorate.Wood shims are great for many things;but not for toilets.Slide your shims around the toilet until it sits level,mark the shim where it has to be cut,place a pencil mark on the toilet bowl so you will be able to slide your shim in the exact spot,remove,cut and reinstall.Snug the toilet bolts and you should be all set.Al
I just installed a new self checkout for Homedepot. the same day i bought a toliet after the install. I so I figure hey I can get my buddy to do it. But today I found this video and I install my first toilet with no leaks :) I feel like a better man now lol
I agree with barnstormer601 and and axleblakhart but usually I put wax on the floor first and then I place the toilet on the floor., correct me if i am doing wrong.
Two things. I had heard about NOT caulking around the toilet base as well. If it leaks, you want to know before it travels down to the next floor ruining two rooms instead of one. The other is Wooden shims? They rot. They sell plastic toilet shims cheaply and they won't rot.
@jamo387 I agree, but how about using clear caulking only in a few places, just to secure the toilet some. My new toilet is going to be installed above a basement storage area, all piping is exposed there. I am not sure if I want to caulk it until I see how the well the toilet seats to the slate flooring.
Use LiquiLock to keep the water from spilling out when pulling the toilet! It solidifies the water into a gel. Check out the video by searching "liquilock" on youtube or you google liquilock to buy it
@AKILLIAN2 You normally cut the shims with a sheetrock knife, cut the face and then bend towards the side that you just cut until it snaps. I don't agree with using wood shims on a toilet though. They sell non organic shims that won't rot.
Never rock your toilet to that extreme as the wax seal will settle down with simple amount of pressure applied. Always use new T-bolts as this will save you some frustration with the install.Tighten the tank enough so that it does not rock on the bowl.Tighten the tank staggering the tightening (tighten each sides a little at a time) so that it goes onto the bowl level. By tightening the tank a lot on one side ;it is possible to tighten down the other side and crack the the tank.Good luck
@TheOldkid888 How do I put new bolts if tile is blocking the old ones and I am unable to remove them. I can get them loose but cant remove them I would have to chip some tile and i scared of that. what do you recomment sir?
@TheChemist187 Hello there; Great question?I have come across this a few times.If you installed the tile yourself;then it is up to you to fix the problem.Home Depot sell small drill bits that drill ceramic tile very easily and can remove this tile to allow you to insert new t-bolts.I only say to use new because it can be very difficult to get the nuts on the old ones.You can also use a masonary bit and use a regular drill.This procedure will take a little longer, but will definitely work.G.L. Al
@TheChemist187 Hello there; You should have no problem. These new bits buzz through the tile very easily. I have used several of them. Good luck with your project and have a great day!!! Al
Toilets are very simple to install infact you can make your own toilet using a few simple tools, firstly you will need a bucket, preferbally garden pots are ideal, drill a hole in the centre to allow the excretion to flow through, you may need to invest in air freshners as the smell can become quite revolting, simply attach a garden hose where you can sit and flush away, you should clear any debris and any foul bits and pieces in a matter of moments
I watched the HGTV show American Handyman, and I learned that you are not supposed to caulk around the toilet bottom. Really, has anyone ever seen caulking around the bottom? Not standard practice.
I don't caulk the base of the toilet for the simple reason that, if the wax ring is leaking, I'm going to want to see that leak. If the caulk keeps the water under the toilet it will seep down and damage the sub flooring.
I like that idea about the boards axleblackhart. As far as the rag left in the drain, well, I don't think I would have admitted to that so your alright in my book. I think some common sense can go along way with these projects.
What nitwit is going to forget to take the rag out before putting the toilet in place. If you forget to take the rag out, you probably shouldn't be installing a toilet.
There is a very good chance this was the first time this guy has changed out a toilet! If he is like the sales associates that "volunteer" to do the "how to clinics" at your local H.D he just read a "how to book" off one of the H.D shelves and B.S his way through it. At least thats how they did it at the H.D I use to work at.
@crenshawboy2 He's a actor...I've seen him in a few sitcoms...Hard for me to take this serious! They hired a actor to show us how to install a toliet. That's why he forgot the rag in the drain.

In the UK the waste pipe goes through the wall! It also extends to the roof level to vent gas off. We also never fitted isolation valves or flow restrictors until about 10 years ago as standard.
Hey, put the rag in the drain immediately after removing the bowl, at the very least before removing the wax. Dropping wax down the drain can be a real nightmare.
After putting the wax ring on the toilet turn it over and set on two boards so the wax ring doesn't touch the floor. If you set it on the floor, as in the video the ring will compress and no longer be usable.
Here's a tip. If you're buying a toilet, try to get one that has standard replacement parts readily available everywhere. Some toilets require parts made ONLY by the maker of the toilet and that's a pain in the ass trying to find them, especially if the toilet is over five years old.
By the way, this video reminds me of that old Hues Corporation song of the 70's, Rock The Bowl... Don't tip the shit over..." Uh... Maybe I have that wrong...
This is good stuff:) So replacing a toilet isn't really a crappy job after all:) haha. But seriously, I did benefit from this video. Most of the people here who are bashing this video are kids who live in their parents house who don't help out with home projects and repairs and just ask for money when they want to go out:) haha.
@mrDJC1 No mean't to be entertaining. It is to help people like myself who need to get home repairs done, can't afford someone to come in and do it for us, so we do it ourselves. How is that stupid??
@alwaysinhoth2o You don't have the money to pay a plumber or know how to replace a toilet, but following your comments my guess is that you are a prejudice african-american mind reader and an assumptive nosy do-gooder. That is a poor combination. Get it?
@1angrywhite No, I don't get it 1angrywhite! I, like you, am white however I don't know what that has to do with plumbing! Talk about prejudice! Based on your comment, your looking for any and every reason to to assume whatever bullshit plagues your hateful mind. I would say your hateful heart but I am not sure you have one. Is it fun spending your life being angry and hateful? Glad I don't know you

man, if you're gonna make a video for helping people, dont skip steps....or important pieces.
The caps would just be spinning on top of that bolt since he didnt cut them, never mind the fact thats there no span washer on the bottom if he did cut them to keep the cap from spinning. Metal on porcelean=rust.
put the wax ring on the bowl, thats just dumb, it would fall off.
And if your tank nuts are loose enough to take off by hand, make sure you get the person to put it in fired.
how should I put the wax ring? How to secure it, that it dont moves? Our down stairs lady always keeps telling me that our toilet bowl runs.... What to do?
put the bolts into the toilet flange, secure them so they dont move with washers and nuts. Then put the wax ring on the toilet flange itself. Set the toilet on top of that, put the plastic washer down first, then the metal one, then the nut, carefully tighten both sides evenly. once tight use a hacksaw blade to cut the bolts. snap on caps. and if your toilet is running, just replace the flush valve (also called a ballcock, tehe) cheaper than replacing the whole toilet. $8.00 vs 50
one more thing, if its your toilet, when you set it down on the wax ring, sit on it and pick your feet up then wiggle yourself back and forth slightly. Boss use to laugh his butt off at me when i did it, but when you're settin a row of 12 toilets in a couple of hours, you find quick ways to do it lol

12) Grab a magazine and take a shit

1) Learn how to read a tape measure
2) Shut off poorly mounted supply that probably won't work
3) Get your "ho" to suck out excess water
4) Use halfass wrench to ensure you strip off the nuts
5) Plug hole with rag so your house doesnt smell like a Detroit hooker
6) After finding the huge hole, rock it like a virgin on prom night
7) Strip the nuts off again with a gilligan wrench again
8) Figure out the caps won't go on without cutting off the bolts

Hey, put the rag in the drain immediately after removing the bowl, at the very least before removing the wax. Dropping wax down the drain can be a real nightmare.
After putting the wax ring on the toilet turn it over and set on two boards so the wax ring doesn't touch the floor. If you set it on the floor, as in the video the ring will compress and no longer be usable.

Here's a tip. If you're buying a toilet, try to get one that has standard replacement parts readily available everywhere. Some toilets require parts made ONLY by the maker of the toilet and that's a pain in the ass trying to find them, especially if the toilet is over five years old.
By the way, this video reminds me of that old Hues Corporation song of the 70's, Rock The Bowl... Don't tip the shit over..." Uh... Maybe I have that wrong...

This is good stuff:) So replacing a toilet isn't really a crappy job after all:) haha. But seriously, I did benefit from this video. Most of the people here who are bashing this video are kids who live in their parents house who don't help out with home projects and repairs and just ask for money when they want to go out:) haha.

@mrDJC1 No mean't to be entertaining. It is to help people like myself who need to get home repairs done, can't afford someone to come in and do it for us, so we do it ourselves. How is that stupid??

@alwaysinhoth2o You don't have the money to pay a plumber or know how to replace a toilet, but following your comments my guess is that you are a prejudice african-american mind reader and an assumptive nosy do-gooder. That is a poor combination. Get it?

@1angrywhite No, I don't get it 1angrywhite! I, like you, am white however I don't know what that has to do with plumbing! Talk about prejudice! Based on your comment, your looking for any and every reason to to assume whatever bullshit plagues your hateful mind. I would say your hateful heart but I am not sure you have one. Is it fun spending your life being angry and hateful? Glad I don't know you

man, if you're gonna make a video for helping people, dont skip steps....or important pieces.
The caps would just be spinning on top of that bolt since he didnt cut them, never mind the fact thats there no span washer on the bottom if he did cut them to keep the cap from spinning. Metal on porcelean=rust.
put the wax ring on the bowl, thats just dumb, it would fall off.
And if your tank nuts are loose enough to take off by hand, make sure you get the person to put it in fired.

how should I put the wax ring? How to secure it, that it dont moves? Our down stairs lady always keeps telling me that our toilet bowl runs.... What to do?
brezno1950 2 years ago 2
put the bolts into the toilet flange, secure them so they dont move with washers and nuts. Then put the wax ring on the toilet flange itself. Set the toilet on top of that, put the plastic washer down first, then the metal one, then the nut, carefully tighten both sides evenly. once tight use a hacksaw blade to cut the bolts. snap on caps. and if your toilet is running, just replace the flush valve (also called a ballcock, tehe) cheaper than replacing the whole toilet. $8.00 vs 50
thebeastkodiak 2 years ago
one more thing, if its your toilet, when you set it down on the wax ring, sit on it and pick your feet up then wiggle yourself back and forth slightly. Boss use to laugh his butt off at me when i did it, but when you're settin a row of 12 toilets in a couple of hours, you find quick ways to do it lol

@brezno1950 The stopper in the tank isn't sealing, so it alway loses water and keeps filling back up. Be my guess
