Toto Aquia DF Installation Complete
Hi,
I just finished inmstalling a Toto Aquia Dual Flush Toilet. Many thanks to this forum and it's users for sharing their insights on the toilet and it's installation. I have only every installed one toilet before so I was very anxious about getting this done right.
Once I removed the old toilet I had quite a job removing the old silicone. I had to restain the hardwood underneath where the old toilet was as the new one has a different foot print. I marked the holes with the template and predilled with the 11/64th bit. I installed the PVC trap and screwed it to the floor. I took the advice of another member and used 1/4" x 2 1/2" Lag Screws to secure the mounting blocks to the floor.
I installed the bowl all the way to the wall which I realized after that I should have left a 1/4" gap. Once the tanks was connected it was touching the wall so I had to go back a few steps to try and pull it back off of the wall. Once the bowl and tank were secure we added the water and we only had a slow drip at angle stop. Once that was tightened up we seemed to be good to go. We adjusted the water level on in the tanks and adjusted the half flush too.
Everything seemed to be going great until I sat on it wobbled.
I tried adjusting the base screws with no success. At this point do I just shim it was a coin or two or do I need to take the whole thing apart and start over?
Will the silicone seal help stabalize the toilet too? Should I shim and seal it?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
I will post some photos too.
Thanks a lot for this great forum and site Terry!
