Hello.. I just had a plumber install a brand new 2 piece Toto Vespin double cyclone toilet.
Flushes great BUT there is an issue... When one gets up from the seat, you can hear the tank move... I noticed that it is screwed on but you can easily move the tank back and forth..

Now I compared that with my other toilet I have.. A 2 piece Clayton toilet by TOTO.. It is solid, the tank does not move at all..

THis is kind of annoying... I am wondering if the plumber did something wrong installing this toilet... Can someone who has installed this particular model, the Vespin 2 piece tell me if the tank has some noticeable movement.. I do not like this.
Thanks

It just needs to be tightened down some more. To do this, turn each bolt to the tank maybe 1/2-turn, alternating side-to-side until it almost is touching the bowl (since I don'd do it too often and don't have the 'feel', I slip a piece of thick paper between the tank and bowl and stop when I feel friction but can still pull it out without tearing).

Your plumber likely tightened it until it felt tight when he installed it, but the gasket that seals the tank and bowl has compressed a tad since installation. As Jim stated, just alternate tightening the tank bolts. His suggestion of a thick paper as a gauge is excellent.
