Which is what the instructions tell you to do: mount it on the flange and then lower the toilet onto it. However, I went with Terry's method figuring he knew what he was talking about. :) Plus, it kind of makes sense to stretch it over the toilet opening so you know it's perfectly lined up with...

Actually, the old toilet had a smaller footprint. This base is larger and more rectangular. I caulked around both sides and the front of the toilet, but left the back open in case of a leak. The main reason I went with the Fluidmaster seal is that I'm not a professional and figured it gave me...

OK, master bath toilet installed with Fluidmaster Better Than Wax and all seems to be working well. Something that I've noticed, however, is a noise I didn't hear with the old toilet. When someone flushes the hall toilet (about 20-25 feet away) I hear a sound in the master bath under/behind the...

Quick question...should a bead of silicone be put around the edge before it's installed or is it just screwed in over the old flange?

Thanks. It's a cheap enough option to give it a try. I'll pick one up.

I was considering one of the Oatey stainless repair rings. I'm about 1/8 of an inch above floor level right now with the flange. Would it increase that significantly or is the added height negligible with them?

I have an issue with my toilet install. Our old toilet always sat crooked in relation to the back wall. I know why now. When the flange was installed, they installed it to use the notches in the flange instead of the slots. I'd be OK with this except one notch is about 11 7/8 inches from the...

What he said. :)

I'm installing a new Kohler Memoirs 1.6 gallon flush toilet in our master bath. The flange is just slightly higher than the floor level (no more than 1/8 inch). I am planning on using the Fliudmaster 7530, Better Than Wax seal for it. However, before I do, I thought I'd check to see if anyone...

Thanks, Terry. I'll grab a new cartridge for it and install it before everything is buttoned up.

I'm having my shower redone and was thinking about replacing my current Moen Posi Temp valve with a new one while the wall was opened up. My only concern is about the quality of new valves. My current valve was manufactured around 1998 when the house was built. Are the new valves built as well...
