Bought a Mansfield Waverly two piece HET. There are two tank bolts. I cannot get this thing to stop leaking and wonder if I am tightening too tight?
Starting from the top of the tank this is the order: bolt head, metal washer, rubber washer, tank bottom, metal washer, nut, toilet bowl, rubber washer, metal washer, wing nut. I tightened the bowl down using alternating turns on the wing nuts until the tank made contact with the bowl.
There is a consistent drip of 1 tablespoon of water after each flush. I assume it is coming from the tank to bowl gasket. It does not appear to be leaking around the bolts. Are these toilets not supposed to have the tank to bowl gasket completely compressed by tightening the tank to the bowl until the tank contacts the bowl?
