Testing for the correct place before securing the flange

VeggieBullet · 07-14-2012, 06:47 PM

Once we got it lined up is ready to be secured and then the funny part of placing placing the toilet and securing it to the flange....not funny with no room
BTW: thanks for the input regarding the flange closet!

the useful spatula gave me a hand to lift the bolt good enough to get the nut in.
I know the pic is not clear but the size of the nut is 7/16..
Sorry aage...didn't have time to make the macro function on my BB//

going to the rear it was a lot easier that working on the front...A little tip on this: I will recommend to start by securing the bolt in the back first.
The main reason is that there is a lot more room to work.
securing the back bolt will allow to safely be able to press and hold the pedal down in the front to place your hand hand tools to work.

Good pics. I didn't have to run backward to get the idea of how to get the toilet out.LOL My question is, do you think I will be able to ad a flex line in place of copper without removal of toilet? I am starting on re-plumbing, and this is an area I'm uncertain of.
Thank you,

Hi roger
I don't see why not. You should be able to ad the flex line from the valve without the need of removing the toilet.
Now just wondering if you tested the toilet before starting the re-plumbing? hope that there is no leaks

Glad the the pics could help

Hi Veggie. I am not able to test it prior to new flex line. The whole plumbing system is DOA, due to PO using white water hose w/clamps to make repairs to the copper lines.

I may hook up to the toilet with a sharkbite, to test toilet and valve, then replace copper and flex line with new flex line to pex. That way if the valve is bad, I can go to your posts and fix it.
