Ok, I don't know why I get so scared of installing toilets but I do. I just put in a toto drake yesterday all seems well. I used the std fluidmaster wax ring without the horn had always used the one with the horn but read here that the rings with horns can cause issues?? My flange is 1/16" below the finished floor, so basically level. I put the wax ring on the top of the flange and then set the toilet down pressing down, I had to do a TINY twist 1/8" to get it strait, I mean tiny.
I filled it up, no leaks, I tightened the bowl nuts by hand then just slightly more to stop movement. So why do I feel so paranoid about leaking? I have not caulked the bowl yet and did slide some brown paper strips under the bowl near the wax ring to check for leaks.
Should I have used the wax ring with the horn?? I guess I can pull it off and do it again?
