for those who have struggles lining up the bowl with the bolts. i find it easier when possible to take the tank off to the side by unscrewing the nuts dragging the bowl forward while lifting enough so its not touching the wax ring and look at both sides to get an idea of where the bolts should be. then after making final level adjustments i drop it down and sit on the toilet and press on the seal then hook my tank back up level and done. other tip if you have a leaking shut off that wont close all the way take the handle off and use pliers for that last turn if not use a small bucket to catch water until the toilets in. or buy one of those 1/4 shut off hoses and screw it on to the existing shut off.
Thanks for your input!
Another excellent video - very detailed, every step shown, great visuals and editing, do's/don'ts, with no extra fluff or unnecessary filler. The best DIY instructor on YT, by far!
I appreciate you taking your time to let me know this! I'll try to keep all of my videos very comprehensive and to the point. Thanks a lot for watching!
Good stuff as always brother. Cool to see that you got a sponsor too 🤙 Hope all is well!!
Good to see you here! I appreciate that. Yes it’s always great to get a sponsor for a video here and there! All is well here. I hope everything is good for you too!
Excellent video! I've been doing a lot of projects myself this year to save $ and you're content has been super helpful in educating me on so many things. Keep up the great work!
Thank you! It’s amazing how much money you can save doing your own work. And it’s fun to do if you’d like DIY! Stay tuned for more videos to come!
Nice job, but those shark bites are a gamble long term. That ability to rotate on the pipe can cause a small leak years later. It’s best to use the pex stops or stub out with copper and use the compression stops.
If you want to do it right sweating copper is the only way to go in my opinion.
@@libsrmarxist that’s up to you. to me that makes it harder in the future when it needs to be replaced.
Excellent instructions! Thank you!
I appreciate that. You are welcome!
A couple points of consideration. You installed the toilet flange on top of the floating vinyl floor and screwed it down to the vinyl floor. The vinyl floor should have been cut out around the perimeter of the flange. Floating floors should never be secured down with fasteners. As the floor expands and contracts, it may buckle. Same issue with installing the vanity. It should never be installed on top of a floating floor. The floor should be installed around the perimeter of the vanity with the appropriate expansion/contraction gap.
Feel better
Excellent video
Thanks I appreciate that!
Great Video! How do I deal with a 4" PVC drain coming out of concrete floor that is extremely tight for a male toilet flange? First attempt the flange did not seat flush to floor. It stopped about 1/2" high. I'm ready to seat another flange but need suggestions on how to get the flange down the tight pipe. Use more glue and go deeper with the glue? Appreciate any tips!
Thanks
Your videos help me a lot. Do you have one on how to install bathtub?
Good to hear! I do have a video for that

I hope that helps!
@@TheExcellentLaborer thank you!
How do you replace the sharkbite shut-off with it pushed up to the pipe cover? Is there a way?
Good video, thanks for the effort. Is that 11.5 inch centerline from wall an anomally because I thought they were all supposed to be 12" seems like it perhaps could cause a space issue for a toilet possibly??
His already-installed baseboard was 1/2'", so that needs to be subtracted from the 12" rough-in . The 11.5" is from the baseboard, not from the wall.
@@MaMa-qh4dy ahh thanks, missed that mental step.
Like already mentioned, the thickness of the baseboard comes to play here. Thanks for watching!
great video can you put the shark max fitting in the ground?
They must be wrapped with silicone wrap for underground. I hope that helps!
I prefer to use fluid master than waxes, because if you don't put well at the first time you will need to remove it and that damage the wax...
This is great! However I broke the flange by over tightening. How can i replace a cemented (pvc) flange? I did find a repair kit, but... I'm on a cement slab
Yes, Carefully using a small sharp chisel split one side of the flange working from the outside and going in, then remove another section of the flange cutting the section kind of like the shape of a small slice of pie. The name of the game is slow and easy. As you remove the small "slices" of the flange, carefully pull the slices away from the pipe. Yes you can remove a flange (or pipe fitting) if you do it a small piece at a time. PATIENCE and be careful and not break the pipe. The glued joint IS NOT as strong as the pipe so you can get it off. If you're the type of guy that grabs a hammer and starts whacking stuff hard, you're going to have trouble.

Do you have a preference of brand of toilet you use in all your builds, personally weve always used Amercian Standard, always great quality, never had any issues.
I like Kohler and American standard. I hope that helps!
Great job explaining the install. Big question here....How do you brush off the Monday morning plumber,construction and jackass quarterback comments? Drives me crazy and I wish these folks would zip it. Love your channel and keep up the good work.
Use a "better than wax" ring and don't ever mess with those messy wax rings again. Better than wax is all I have used for years and years and have never had any problem with them.
I have never used one of those. I will have to do some research. Thanks for your input!
They are ok, but regular wax is a lot cheaper and will do the job just fine. I’ve seen the waxless rings covered in grossness when the toilet needs to be pulled & no way would I clean it and reuse. Just use a regular wax ring.
There's a reason why wax has been around for so long, it just plain seals and works better, wax forms perfectly, down to the smallest imperfection of the casting of the toilet, when compressed, rubber or silicone on the other hand cannot do that. Sure it takes what a couple minutes to use a putty knife and clean off all the old wax...and?????
I have been a general contractor for 33 years. Have only used the waxless gasket for the last 20 years. No mess and you can lift the toilet off several times without replacing the gasket. Great for remodels when the toilet needs to be put back in service each day.
Toilets ???! What the!?
