Hello,
I just finished installing a Toto Drake - this forum was an invaluable help ! Many thanks to Terry for the site.
I have a couple of comments about Jamie's installation guide at:
https://terrylove.com/forums/showthread.php?t=743
- First, a nitpick: he forgot to mention hooking up the water supply. I think that needs to come before the "opening a cold one" step.
- A picture of what the flange connection looks like without the toilet would be helpful to those who have never done this, so they know in advance what to expect. (I found such pictures in a different thread about flange problems.)
- And my major comment/question is: Why attach the tank before mounting the bowl ? Toto's instructions say to first mount the bowl and then attach the tank, and I think that makes sense mainly because it is then easier to carefully lower the bowl into position -- because it is lighter. Note the recent thread about the dropped toilet. I do regular weight training, and yet I still thought it would have been easier to mount the bowl first. Am I missing some other factor ?
