The Oatey kit includes bolts and washer type devices that have slits that hold the bolts so that they stick straight up. Just another optionI agree with you on that. I also use the wax to embed the toilet bolts so they stick straight up, to ensure when I drop the toilet, it is dropped exactly at the correct spot. Once the toilet bolts are semi-tight, I sit on the toilet, wiggle around to smash the wax evenly, then level, secure the bolts, then apply caulk on the front and sides for a finished look, and to stop future wobble. Then I tape a "do not use for 24 hours" sign on the lid.
Havasu, thanks. At 76, this simple job is not in my reach, but now I'll know what to look for when a plumber does the job. Or should I assume all plumbers know and do this?I also use the wax to embed the toilet bolts so they stick straight up, to ensure when I drop the toilet, it is dropped exactly at the correct spot.
