Steps to Replace a Toilet
1. Turn Off the Water Supply
Before starting any work, it’s crucial to turn off the water supply to prevent any leaks or flooding.
2. Drain the Toilet
Flush the toilet to drain as much water as possible. Use a sponge or towel to soak up any remaining water in the tank and bowl.
3. Disconnect the Water Line
Unscrew the water supply line from the bottom of the tank. Be prepared for some water to spill out.
4. Remove the Old Toilet
Unscrew the bolts at the base of the toilet and carefully lift the toilet off the floor. Be mindful of any remaining water in the bowl.
5. Prepare the Flange
Clean the flange and inspect it for any damage. If necessary, replace the wax ring to ensure a proper seal for the new toilet.
6. Install the New Toilet
Place the new toilet onto the flange, aligning the bolts with the holes in the base. Press down firmly to secure the wax ring.
7. Secure the Bolts
Tighten the bolts at the base of the toilet, ensuring it’s firmly in place. Be careful not to over-tighten and crack the porcelain.
8. Reconnect the Water Line
Attach the water supply line to the bottom of the tank and turn on the water supply. Check for any leaks and adjust as needed.
9. Test the Toilet
Flush the toilet several times to ensure it’s working correctly and there are no leaks.
