I have watched at least 8 different videos on how to replace a toilet (my PVC flange cracked due to an uneven floor) and your video is by far the very best and most comprehensive I have seen. Thank you so much!

@tedsobocienski787 2 месяца назад

Great information, always appreciate you help. When installing toilets I do 2 additional steps. 1. When putting in the flange bolts, instead of the plastic holds I use a washer with a 1/4 20 nut. It tightens the bolts and makes it easier when lowering the bowl. It helps so you don't knock the bolts around. (especially if you're lowering a bowl and tank) 2. Once I have the wax ring and bowl set, before I tighten the bolts on the bowl I pour a bucket of water in the bowl. If you have any leak, it's best to see now before you got everything all together. Again, thank you for all that you do.

@stanleyhampton7185 Месяц назад

Great install! And thanks for the tips. If I were doing the job, I would have replaced the old water supply valve with a new quarter turn ball valve. The small extra cost and bit of extra work could save trouble later on. With the toilet lefted, you have good access, making the job easier than replacing later with the toilet in the way.

Jeff, the hydrostatic pressure of water is about 1/2 psi per foot. Therefore 12” of water in the tank exerts 1/2 psi on the tank bolt gaskets. It’s not a lot of pressure as you claimed. Thanks for the videos.

I've moved on from wax rings to the rubber rings which accommodate more heights and movement! Yes, significantly more expensive, at tends of dollars instead of dollars, but prevents leaks/smells and future repairs costing way more!

@b.powell3480 Месяц назад

I went back to the wax ring due to the rubber/neoprene/closed cell foam gasket would cause the toilet bowl mount to crack at the flange bolts !, not good when you come back in to use the bathroom only to find the bowl is broken at the floor and water around the base !

@drakemia4079 Месяц назад

@@b.powell3480use two wax rings

@thebordernow Месяц назад

I agree with b.powell3480. I just installed a Toto Drake toilet and tried the Fluidmaster Wax-Free foam and rubber seal. The instructions have you attaching it to the flange (using its ear-loops to slide over the flange bolts). However, the Toto Drake drain horn was too wide to fit through the Fluidmaster seal and ended up with the horn lip contacting and trying to compress the rubber seal face down. There was too much thickness with the rubber seal and the flange a standard 1/4" above the floor to get the Drake to sit flat on the floor. I ended up pulling the Drake back up and switching to an old standard wax ring. Putting the wax ring around the drain horn and sticking it to the toilet made it 100% sure the horn would be sealed all the way around. That Fluidmaster No-Wax ring I pulled from the unsuccessful first effort? It was all deformed and there was a good chance the deformation pulled part of the rubber seal into the path of the drain hole. Not good.

Lot of contractors will not use silicone on their toilet bowls, but I think it’s the best way I did it at my house, in the olden days we used to use plaster of Paris, and it all crumbles out and looks like crap. A year later, grout is no good, but that seems to be the preferred method of builders, I’ve had to smash toilet bowls to get them up and if they just use a little it won’t work, and then eventually crumbles and looks like crap, but hundred percent silicone keeps the whole moisture and pee and dirt out from under the bowl and it holds the bowl down very good. it’s the most sanitary way to do it and I think it looks the best

@KLondike5 2 месяца назад

Your plaster of paris reminded me I once pulled up a toilet to find that instead of a wax ring they had used plumbers putty. Omg.

As for handy bucket flush hint, that's how my mother taught me to clean the toilet. You can scrub the original water ring line with full strength cleaning products. Then flush to rinse. 😁

@diemman70 Месяц назад

I like to cover the toilet hold down bolt with Vaseline to keep it from rusting and then install the cap. I also like to make everything visible look pretty so the valve would be replaced and the ring would be tight to the line and probably chrome and the water line itself would have a nice loop to direct any leak to the floor as opposed to running down the line back to the valve. I also like to seal the around the toilet except for the back. Plastic toilet seat bolts are preferred but brass is ok too.

Re: Lowering the amount of water in your toilet before removal. You can also wrap a plastic bag around the end of your vacuum cleaner hose and then put the vacuum cleaner on blow instead of suck. And blast the water down the toilet stack. That is, if you're concerned about some clear toilet water being vacuumed up by your wet vacuum cleaner and introducing bacteria to your pristine antiseptic vacuum cleaner canister.

@MaMa-qh4dy 2 месяца назад

Those wax rings with the plastic horn can cause water to splash UP from the water dump and onto the floor. The horn also narrows the dump route which could cause to clogging. Always use standard old fashioned wax rings.

@catsmeow5566 2 месяца назад

When our power goes out we don't have running water because we're on a well system. We have to use this bucket technique to flush the toilet. So, whenever we know there is a storm coming and that our power will likely be out, we fill up 5 gallon buckets to store in the tubs. Then we have smaller buckets to get the water out of the 5 gallon buckets. I use a toilet lift jack and it lifts at an angle so water will say in the trap until it is lowered back down straight. But not everyone will be changing out toilets enough to need or want one of those. We were having to change out multiple toilets so it was worth it. Good to know about the flange height when its time to do the other bathrooms. All of them will be getting vinyl sheet so it will be low profile. I used a better-than-wax ring for the bathroom that we just renovated. I never knew they made caps for those shutoffs. That's good to know. All of the shutoffs in my house are new relatively new from when the winter storm ruptured all of the waterlines and we replaced them with PEX. We spent around $400 years ago on some Toto Drake toilets. They were worth it for how well they flush. Paid less years later for an ADA height Toto Drake and under $200 for a chair height Toto Entrada for our friend's house when we were staying there. I found that its good to cover the toilet bowl if you're going to be handling bolts and/or nuts over it. I have a tendency to drop things. LOL. I personally went with wingnuts for my tank bolts to make them easier to turn. Where I live, whenever we put on a new hose or something, we always put the open end in a bucket and turn the shutoff to let the water run into the bucket and clear any debris before we shut it back off and connect it to the fitting. My friend didn't do this with his kitchen sink and it clogged up the cartridges. He ended up having to get a new faucet (older one wasn't worth trying to get cartridges for). So, bottom line, even plumbers recommend clearing the lines a bit before connecting. I've had to take apart a flush valve assembly to clean it before. It's annoying. For the toilet connection, I like to get one that makes a click when it locks on so you know its on tight enough. For the toilet seat, I like to get bolts that slide in to rubber bungs. The bungs act as the nut to lock them in place and they do not move. I hate the standard kind that you constantly have to tighten and the seat keeps getting loose. I haven't had to tighten bolts once since using the kind with the bungs. If you want to be fancy, you can get a toilet with built in bidet sprayer or a bidet seat attachment that uses a tee to split off for supply. I got those split flange covers in chrome for my house. They are great. I should use the sealant underneath though. I've always heard from plumbers that you should leave a small unsealed part at the back of the toilet so that if the wax ring breaks and is leaking, it will come out the back and you will know. Otherwise, all the water stays under the toilet and rots the floor.

Our Proflow toilets clog SUPER easy. Replacing both during our current remodel. One caused some damage when it clogged, the flap stuck and it overflowed. I have had to pull one, once and the other twice, to remove blockages. Never had that problem with any other toilet before. Willing to go Toto to make sure I don’t have to deal with it again. I have also had to repair/replace tank parts as well on both. Not pleased with the brand.

I do maintenance on my apt complex and l replaced a lot of toilets and they all went smooth without all these precautionary steps. The most important thing not to do it is to over tighten your toilet bolts because you can easily damage your flange. I like to use thinset over tile under the toilet for better and strong adhesion.

Just what I needed. I was trying to change out cracked nuts and washers. After fighting for nearly an hour to get the nuts off, and finessing one back on, the other hold-down posts popped out of the track. So I fiddled it back in, but every time I tried to tighten the nut, it turned and popped out again. And again. I figured there had to be a trick to keeping the post head in the track, so I was just looking for how the flange looks. Now I know how to install a toilet from the get-go (in case I still can't get this back together without having to run to the store for a new seal and bolts and taking the toilet out. Because it's Sunday and this little addendum to big plumbing job to move the washer into the bathroom is taking more time than replumbing the whole house with pex. Day of rest, indeed! :-D Thanks a lot!

The only issue with all the plastic flange ring kits and extenders with foam seals is none of them are strong enough for extremely tuff use. I work in commercial and residential homes/buildings and i always run into issues where i need to pull a toilet, replace everything to get it all leak proof like what youre doing, but the person or people using the toilet have mobility issues of any sort… no matter how many support bars and/or handles/hoists that are available people tend to grab and support themselves by way of the toilet itself. They break the flanges right off the floor and test your work to its limits lol ive had to reinforce the floor below, if accessible, to get some heavy duty screws installed plus i try finding brass toilet flanges paired with foam seal rather than wax. Its a challenge…

I see a completely different drain system on Australian toilets but I'm not sure that would work here because they seem to use way more water to clear. They empty out the back into the wall and have a nice 4 point mount to the floor which means you never have the silly two bolt rocking issue or gap issue. I also see lots of failures of these stupid wax gaskets that have a plastic funnel attachment. Those funnels are unnecessary and completely stupid. They seem to be a trick to use less wax but end up causing splash back or hold waste. Or the wax is reacting to the plastic. I've had the replace like four of those within a couple years in rentals because they are rotted already.

Great video. Had a contractor mess up the wax seal in my old home. Nightmare.

Change out ALL your old valves to quarter turn. I don't leave any of the old multiturn valves in my house. They are so inexpensive I'm shocked you didn/t replace it.

@rustyhooks9482 Месяц назад

If you seal the toilet to the floor in a residential house, if there's a leak from the wax ring down the road the only way to detect this would be from extensive damage to the subfloor or the ceiling/basement below, correct? Would it be better to seal just the front of the toilet from the 4 to 8 O'clock positions that way if there was a leak from the wax ring you'd hopefully see it on the tile floor before it had a chance to ruin the subfloor and ceilings below?

@kkp4297 2 месяца назад

if you have a toilet leak, that water isn't gonna be coming through the siliconed gap. That water is gonna go under the base moulding, edges of the room, and leak to the room below.

@KLondike5 2 месяца назад

I see a few that fill the gap between the flange and the tile with silicone so that way it doesn't have a place to leak down through & with come out the toilet base if you haven't sealed the entire perimeter.

@HomeRenoVisionDIY 2 месяца назад

the point if setting a toilet correctly and secure is to make sure you don't get a leak. Cheers! Leaks don't happen randomly. they happen because of poor install practices.

I don't silicone around toilets, if they leak I want to know right away it's leaking instead of water buildup between the floor and the toilet rotting the flooring. Lowes $89

@josephvanderwal3692 2 месяца назад

Same, as a service plumber I never seal the bottom of the toilet to the floor unless the owner requests it. Especially with a trailer like this where you wont see that the wax seal is broken because you are never in the crawl space below it. Silicone may look cleaner but I'd rather not need to rip up the entire bathroom because of rot in the sub-floor

@lrc87290 2 месяца назад

Try a Fernco waxless seal. goes inside the pipe. flange height doesn't matter.

I'm sorry Jeff, but you're never going to convince me that after all that work in the beautiful bathroom that it's a good idea to leave the old multi-turn shut off valve and CPVC piping

@HomeRenoVisionDIY 2 месяца назад

no worries. I changed out the guts of that valve so it is all new. Cheers!

@@HomeRenoVisionDIYyeah but it looks like an crappy 20 yr old valve. All that effort making a nice bathroom and skimping on a cheap valve that fits the newness of everything else is bonkers 😂

@williamwicklund4273 2 месяца назад

I put nuts on the toilet studs to keep them from ever turning on the flange, along with the wax ring, I don't use the reinforced ones due it reducing the pipe diameter

@KLondike5 2 месяца назад

The wax rings don't need reinforcing they just need to be thick enough. Those stupid plastic attachments cause more problems that didn't exist before we started using all the time.

@HomeRenoVisionDIY 2 месяца назад

the reinforced ones still have a larger diameter than that if the trap in the bowl. Cheers!

@KLondike5 2 месяца назад

@@HomeRenoVisionDIYThe porcelain hole is already tapered and sized to match the flange. You can clearly see an unnecessary reduction in diameter with the plastic "reinforcer".

😮❤😊 Thank you so much, you have all the knowledge, wow! I bought new and I had the electric switch for a drayer instead of stove in the kitchen. I called and they did not believe me, like i’m blond girl…and more ex. So hard…Very much appreciated your excellent tuto. I don’t write in English often, never:( sorry for the mistakes. Enjoy Florida.

@kevinburola889 2 месяца назад

Why not use plastic toilet shims? Also wouldn’t wax free ring be better as it allows a bit of expansion and contraction if there is slight movement? Thanks

@HomeRenoVisionDIY 2 месяца назад

this house is in Florida. no change in weather to cause any movement and the toilet is secured from moving so no need. In really old houses that are 4 season the rubber seal is a great idea.
