Installed one of these in our bathroom. Followed the paper and online video to a tee.
I have concerns about long term durability of the physical toilet and the wall surface.
The manual that came with stated cement board, gypsum board, etc were approved substrates.
After mounting my toilet tonight I feel like I need to modify the install. It's a 2x6 wall with extra framing added for the carrier. From there it's some 1/4" ply for shimming (left the section over the carrier continuous instead of shimming individual studs there ). Then I hung some firecore 5/8" dens armor plus (only dens armor plus I could get locally).
I feel the bottom.of the toilet bowl wants to point load the sheetrock when weight is applied to the toilet. Any suggestions on preemptively modifying the install to prevent the toilet from.crushing or erroding the sheetrock.
2) the manual doesn't state using or supplies backer nuts or washers like the commercial carriers do. Should I try to use them anyway?
3)how tight are the nuts suppose to be when you tighten down the bowl to the wall? I also assume that the bowl should rest on the plastic washers and not directly on the threaded rod.
