I am in the process of installing the 2 piece Toto CST776CSFG#01 toilet and I have two quick questions.
(1) I had installed older models of the Toto Drake and I thought the outlet at the bottom is larger. This hole at the bottom of the bowl is about 2 inches, did the older models have larger diameter trap way and outlet diameter or am I mistaken?
(2) The install manual says to tighten the tank bolts to the bowl until there are "three points of contact", left right and back. I am close but I can't get the tank to touch the top of the bowl by pushing down on the tank. See picture below. Now I can probably get it to bottom by using a socket wrench to crank on the nut but this is a brass nut and a metal washer on porcelain so I don't want to break it. Is this normal or am I missing something? I took the tank off to check the fill valve gasket and it is seated correctly so I don't think the issue is with the gasket. Should I crank it with a socket wrench until it bottoms or go as far as it will go and let it be even if it's not touching all three points?
Thank you in advance for your advice.
