Utilities

Once you’ve completed the above steps you are ready to begin installation. Here are the steps you will need to complete to install your new toilet:

• Disconnect the old toilet: Unscrew the water supply line and disconnect the bolts from floor

• Install the flange: Make sure the flange is secure and level. After the flange is installed, attach the new toilet to the flange ears with the bolts.

• Connect the water supply: Connect the water supply line to the bottom of the toilet tank and make sure the connection is secure.
