I'm going to install a Toto Aquia III on Tuesday and have some basic questions. I've done quite a bit of research and it seems that I should do the following:
-use a 5/16" ceramic drill bit (I've got tile in the bathroom) instead of the 1/4" recommended by Toto
-use a 20" flexible hose instead of a 12" flexible house
-install the actual seat before you slide the toilet onto the mounting brackets
Am I missing anything else? Any other tips to make the installation go more smootly? I remember reading something about using different bolts that the one Toto provides... can anyone vouch for this?
Also, I have some other quick questions:
1) Is there a particular brand of wax ring that is the best/highest quality, or are they all they same?
2) Is there a brand of flexible house that is the best/highest quality, or are they all the same?
3) Should I put a new wax ring on, or can I just use the old one from the old toilet (we didn't have any problems with any leaks on that one)?
Thanks in advance, especially to Terry for this tremendous site!
