Step 6 · Reconnect Water and Test

Reconnect the water supply line to the fill valve on the bottom of the toilet tank. Hand-tighten the connector first, then give it a final quarter-turn with the wrench to ensure it's snug but not overtightened. Slowly turn the water supply valve back on (counter-clockwise). Check for leaks at the supply line connection and at the base of the toilet. Once the tank is full, flush the toilet several times. After each flush, thoroughly inspect the base of the toilet with a dry paper towel to check for any signs of moisture, which would indicate a failed seal.
