I'm installing the (Glenwall) American Standard Wall mount toilet and am seeking some advise when doing the final stages. I already have my closet carrier installed (Zurn Z1212), w/ my waste flange out 5/16th inch and my four support bolts out 2 1/8" each {bothdimension are outside of the finished wall}. My wall carrier came with a neoprene seal, which mounts onto the back of the toilet, then butts up to the waste flange/horn. Question(s): Do I just continue to mount this directly to the wall. When doing so, it seems as though there is still more "wiggle room" than I care to have. How can I make this more secure? Also, how tight should I tighten the mounting bolts? (I assume just past hand tight). Wall mount toilets are more common in a commercial application, so I can't find much documentation on the do's and don'ts for these residential types. Any insight is appreciated. Thank you.
The mounting kit should include backing nuts and washers that hold the toilet away from the wall at least 1/16". Thank you for you help. These "backing nuts" - are you saying that I just screw the nuts into place, so they are flush w/ the wall, then my toilet backs up to these nuts? I assume these are just the nuts that came w/ my carrier. Most plumbing supplies also carry the neoprene gasket. I always carry them for when I sell a Glenwall. Our installations include one.
