Step 8 · Reconnect Water and Test for Leaks
With the toilet secured, reattach the water supply line to the fill valve on the bottom of the toilet tank. Hand-tighten the connector, then give it a slight turn with an adjustable wrench. Be careful not to overtighten the plastic fitting. Slowly turn the water shut-off valve counter-clockwise to turn the water back on. Let the tank fill completely. Check for leaks at the supply line connection. Flush the toilet multiple times and use a flashlight and paper towels to carefully inspect around the entire base of the toilet for any signs of water. If it remains dry and the toilet is stable, the installation is complete.
