Simple Toilet Replacement And Quick Fix For Low Toilet Flange!

What happens here

Reconnect the water supply line to the shut-off valve on the wall and the toilet tank. Hand-tighten the nut connecting to the toilet tank, then use an adjustable wrench or appropriate pliers to tighten the connection to the shut-off valve. Slowly turn on the water supply to the toilet. Monitor the connections closely for any signs of leaks as the tank fills. Once the tank is full, flush the toilet several times to ensure proper operation and to check for any leaks around the base, supply line, or tank connections. The video recommends performing a '5-year-old test' by flushing several wads of toilet paper to ensure the toilet can handle typical use without clogging.

Goal: Restore water supply, check for leaks, and verify toilet functionality

What they say

Hide

That looks pretty. Get your supply lines screwed onto your valve. This top nut goes to hand tight. Now we're able to start filling the toilet. Nice and slow. Flush. Pop the other cover on. When I test, I always test it like a five-year-old one, right? A bunch of paper, make sure it's not going to stop up and flush several times.
