We have installed a new toilet in our basement. It is one of those American Standards that flushes all of the golf balls. So it is not a cheapy.
The toilet works well, however, the tank is as tight as we can get it, and it is still rocking if we touch it. The tank lid itself is now around 1 & 7/8 inches from the wall and water sloshes in the tank after using it. The previous toilet was much closer (less than 1/2 of an inch) to the wall than this one.
We thought we had a defective rubber gasket, which we replaced, it did not help. I called American Standard who told me to make sure it is touching porcelain to porcelain, which we did the best we could, it it almost there, but like I said, we can not get it any tighter with the hand crank tool they supplied.
I am afraid someone may lean back while using it and do some damage to the tank. Does anyone have any suggestions on what route to take from here?
Thanks
Randy
