Hello, been lurking these forums ever since moving into my house (such a great resource and good search results). I decided to replace 3 of the original toilets from the builder with ToTo Entrada (spent many hours research here, finally settled and ordered).

I just received the toilets and doing some inspections on them before installing. Followed advice here on where to look for cracks on the tank connectors and bowl. All 3 tanks and 2 of the bowls appear to be flawless. The last bowl looks to have hairline crack around the outside ring on the bottom outlet/trap (shallow can't feel on the inside).

Is this just a cosmetic crack? Is it something to worry about when fully installed with wax ring+flange?
Want to know if I should just go and return for a replacement. I'm very cognizant of water damage as I am also dealing with water damage from the upstairs leak (from toilet's water supply line/valve) a few months back.

Thanks in advance!

Appreciate the responses and thank you for the assurance, Terry!
I was thinking the chances of any leaks are low since it'll be plugged up and the crack is around the ring not across (returning would have been a hassle).

Is it weird to be excited about installing a quality toilet and moving away from the low grade builder quality ones ;)
