  • You can use the toilet right away. The wax ring provides the seal between the toilet and the plumbing flange and it remains pliable indefinitely.

  • Obviously, the weight of the toilet (and the person sitting on it) should be borne by the floor and not the flange. In fact, having the toilet base in contact with the flange means that virtually all the wax in the seal is being squeezed out. I suggest calling a plumber and having him or her do whatever is necessary to lower the flange to the correct position. It will be a good investment.

  • I just searching a song and i found this :D

  • 121,885 wants to replace their toilet

  • how long before we can use the toilet after installation? even if standing?

  • they touch it?

  • @bodenac1 I am wondering is (once perfectly level) if the bowl can be shimmed to prevent any excess movement??? Has anyone ever heard of this practice?

  • Is it necessary to use the plumbers putty as shown in this video?

  • Use LiquiLock to solidify the water before you remove the toilet! Search "LiquiLock" on youtube or google for more info. Will be in Home Depot soon.

  • Note that the video never explicitly says to remove the tank. It's just magically off the bowl and requires reinstallation. You have to undo those bolts first, then remove the tank.

  • great video!
