Neither the Drake or the Ultramax require anything special.
For the Ultramax, you pull it from the box, and stick it down on the wax. Done!

Don't they just look at what others write and then copy it? Is it done by a "writer" or a plumber.
I've been plumbing since 1974, and since 1998 have been writing about, installing and repairing toilets pretty much 24/7, taking calls and emails from around the country on products and homeowner and plumbers questions.
For those that have thought about this before, if you have more parts to something, doesn't that mean that more can go wrong?
If you have to assemble something that has more parts, doesn't that mean it takes "more" time, not less.
If you have a connection that is more flexible and with more parts, is it more likely to fail in the future?
If an excellent toilet is 500 grams MaP, does it really matter if the number is bigger? What we are shooting for is moving "250" grams. If that is the case, then 500 grams is overkill. About the MaP test, I was using a one-piece Toto MS854114 toilet for two years that had been rated at 325 grams. No plugs in two years in a setting that was seeing a family during the week and 35 people on weekends.
Is the one-piece easier to keep clean? Yes.
Is the one-piece easier to install? Yes.
Is the one-piece less likely to need repairs in the future? Yes.
Is the one-piece likely to have urine between the tank and bowl, which then smells? Oh Hell no!
And you don't even need to be a plumber to figure that last one out.
Especially if you have men or boys in the household.
