I need to set a toilet on a raised platform for someone. I mentioned to them that they have premade platforms and raised seats, but their son is good at woodworking, so he will build one. I asked them to hold off on the build until
I got some information. I do not know a great deal about plumbing, but I have done enough to know I can handle it, as long as I can get some guidance. I imagine I will need to set a flange on top of the box. The plan is to have a box made of 2 by's with a plywood top. I have a few questions.
1) Will the flange need to fit flush with the top of the box?
2) What kind of connection will I need to connect to the bottom of the toilet and then down into the hole?
3)In the past, instead of a true wax seal I have used a rubber seal that seemed to work well. Is there a disadvantage to using that over wax?
4) I always have a bit of trouble placing the bowl over the anchor bolts. Is there a way to secure the bolts to make placing the bowl easier?
Thanks for any advice.
