Step 10 · Final Connections and Testing

Reconnect the water supply line to the bottom of the toilet tank, hand-tightening first and then giving it a final quarter-turn with a wrench. Turn the water shut-off valve back on slowly and check for leaks at the connection point. Allow the tank to fill completely. Flush the toilet several times. Use a flashlight and paper towels to carefully inspect the base of the toilet all the way around for any signs of water seepage. If it remains dry after several flushes, the installation is successful. You can then use a hacksaw to cut off the excess length of the closet bolts and snap on the decorative caps.
