American Standard Toilet Installation
If you're looking at installing a new toilet, we recommend going with one of the models above. They have several advantages over the typical "plunger" type toilet. First, they don't require much maintenance. Second, they're more durable than the average toilet. Third, they're easier to install. Fourth, they're more sanitary. And finally, they were less expensive.
The first step when installing an American Standard toilet is to measure the distance between the floor and the wall. This measurement is called the rough-in depth. Rough-in depths vary by manufacturer but most toilets require a minimum rough-in depth of 15 inches.
Next, you must determine if the toilet needs a pedestal base or a drop-in bowl. Some American Standard toilets come with a pedestal base while others have a drop-in bowl and some do not include either option. You may want to consider purchasing a toilet that already has a pedestal base or you could install a pedestal base yourself.
A directional “Y’’ style fitting should be used in a back-to-back installation. Toilet bowls must be properly vented. Hand tightened connections should not leak. If the toilet is installed over an existing one, make sure there will be enough space between the old toilet and the new one.
Here is a step-by-step installation guide. The toilet installation diagram shows all the parts involved in installing a toilet.
1. Lift the toilet seat and remove it.
2. Insert the drain pipe into the hole in the floor.
3. Attach the flange to the drain pipe.
4. Screw the nut onto the drain pipe.
5. Replace the toilet bowl cover.
6. Reinstall the bottom trim ring. Use the screws provided to hold it in place.
7. Tighten the bolts holding the toilet cover to the toilet bowl cover. Be careful not to over-tighten them. Overtightening can cause leaks.
8. Clean the area where the toilet was installed.
9. Fill the tank with water until it reaches the correct level.
10. Close the fill valve.
11. Turn on the water supply line.
12. Check the water temperature. Adjust the thermostat if necessary.
American Standard Toilet Replacement
If you want to replace your current American Standard toilet, we suggest getting a dual flush toilet. These toilets are great because they allow you to choose between a normal amount of water (for quick clean-up) or a large amount of water (for deep cleaning).
We would suggest getting a bidet attachment for your existing toilet. You'll find that it's very convenient. It will help you get off your rear end without having to touch anything! You could always try using a plunger instead of a toilet. That way, you won't have to worry about running out of water while taking a shower. You could also put some sort of device on your toilet tank lid to make sure it doesn't overflow.
You could always just buy a new toilet. But why pay full price? If you're willing to do some work, you could build your toilet from scratch.
Conclusion
Toilets are essential bathroom fixtures. They provide cleanliness and comfort. The right American Standard toilet will improve your life. So, when you go looking for a new toilet, don't settle for the first one you see. Take your time and shop around. Make sure you pick the best toilet for your home.
