What happens here

Prepare the new closet bolts for installation. The video recommends replacing the plastic washers that come with the kit with more durable metal washers and nuts for a more secure fit. Once assembled, slide the T-shaped head of each bolt into the slots on the toilet flange, positioning them on opposite sides of the drain opening.

Goal: Toilet Installation

  • Closet Bolts — To secure the toilet bowl to the floor flange
  • Gloves — To protect hands from dirt and potential contact with the sewer line
  • Metal Washers and Nuts — To fasten the closet bolts and secure the toilet. Metal is preferred over plastic for durability
