Thanks for showing the internal seat hardware install and the access (7:50).
Without being able to see that, I was imagining something exotic that would drop to the inside area if I backed-off the seat screw too far .
These are no fun.
Works so well. Love this!
look through the holes for the seat bolts to line up the closet bolts, as they are directly above on the Studio, makes it much easier.
oh wow...ok....must of been in fine print. lol....I hope I never do another one for sure.
Thank you.This saved me a lot of grief!
Nice and calm with this one cb,thought you were going to blow your lid lol
Tic Toc goes the time bomb...lol
Thanks for your Extra info about this topics
The only thing I like about that design is that the trap is now covered, makes it easier to clean up.
Nothing easy on the crapper. I dread the service call
Please explain how the rear cover goes back on where the water line comes out
I installed one of these in my downstairs bathroom to replace a round American Standard colony and I’ve had mostly problems with it. The electronic parts stated to rust after a few moths so u had to manually flush it by pressing the button. After about a year of it being installed the seals were bad so it kept slowly leaking then having to refill. Replaced the seals and worked for about 2 more moths before the entire mechanism went bed. Every time it refilled it flushed by itself. Wouldn’t recommend this. Especially after spending over $300 on it. And just to replace the mechanism inside is already another $100. I’d recommend buying a Kohler cimarron. Had it’s for almost a year now and haven’t had any problems with it
Ya this was a home owner purchase. I was like hmmmmm I see problems coming. thanks for tip on kohler.
Chuck Barron you’re most certainly welcome! Tanks for replying!
Those are such a pain in the ass and they are so heavy. I remember my 2nd week on the job I had to build and install two of them one use up stairs other was down stairs.
so heavy....what in the hell they thinking.
Oh got it! Thanks!
oh crap just saw this....lol
How to install seat if I don’t have enough room between the toilet and the wall?
Set seat on toilet before you set toilet. Good luck. they are tuff to deal with.
beautiful position on the toilet, great screwdriver
my fav. screw driver...
When I was in high school I thought about becoming a plumber. My mother pointed out there would be times I would have to handle pee and poop. That ended my interest right there. 😄😄
ha. I hear ya
your an idiot
I may be Canadian but I do like American standard toilets. ive done a few toilets like that, those are a pain in the ass to install. the bolts they come with suck and I use regular bolts. what I do is cause those holes in the side suck so much I reach around the back with a ratchet and a deep socket than go thru the side holes and bolt her down the old fashioned way. i had a call back cause they thru a party and somebody was rocking the tub and snapped the plastic nuts. but if you silicone it after that might be all it really needs in the grand scheme of things. cheers.
oh wow.....Ya I always set my toilet in caulk but this tile guy insisted on doing caulk. He may be grouting toilet in for all i know
Finger tight......that'll work!😂🤣 no thanks for me......that seat lid is still quietly closing to this day!! There he is CB2
The seat was awesome....toilet another story to install
Ready for the Poo ;)
Nice Job CB.
aim and fire!
the "easy install" is tank bolts/seals being pre-attached, wrench and floor nuts. don't know who's bright idea it was to have the enclosed trap area and those small round holes. sized for asian hands.....
same for disposable gloves now, have to get the XL or XXL just to get hands in and I don't have huge hands. tried to put on "large" gloves at food place repair job, got my fingers stuck and ripped them in half.
Ya for sure. Especially working on a used one.
Designed by a pen pusher not a plumber, UK toilets are similar now 😞 a simple repair becomes a major task
So Gnarly...
that the force (of the finger) is with you ... lol
I got my finger stretcher out for this job
Spiders gonna love the new home! Have to say not a fan of that toilet. Fan of the channel though! Thanks CB1 and CB2
Thanks J.
Whats wrong with the basic toilets have you seen the ones with plastic separate peace I believe it’s the toilet trap comes separate. Reinventing the wheel
Im with ya... a real fun one.
CB1 i just wanted to shove my hand in through the screen to help you tighten the closet bolts from my perspective. Lol. Nice job brother. I can't wait til i get to install one of those puppies. Mmm Hmm.
lol me too when i watched vid.....so out of touch...literally
Prob some special engineer designed that dam thing, to hell with the installers/service guys, that doesn’t even come close to Al Bundys turbo flush to get rid of some serious business.
hands free flush.....maybe they can design a hands free install for top dollar of course
keep a small "makeup mirror" with stand in the truck. you can pop it on the floor angled to see the bolts on them stupid toilets. they look nice once installed but they are a pain
Man. Your not kidding.
install 1 of these today..i want alot more money next time
They are brutal. Just reset one. same with me... a real back breaker. two man job to line up bolts.
All of that hidden in the back has to be cleaned! 😞😞😞
man. a pain in the arse.
Everybody is trying to reinvent the wheel , I see trouble down the road.
big trouble. I see a mansfield or gerber going in.
Hahahahahhahahaha when youre trying to fit in those tiny ports "easy install"
oh lord..I just installed a second one this week. Total head ache.
Was that an Icera toilet? Those toilets are the worst.. then the customer wonders why it costs more to have to service their toilet.. it’s not there fault Becuase they don’t know.. but man when those need a part changed forget about it.. Great vid bro... how’s the surf? 😎🤙🏄🏝
Kaching on repairs ect. also I have hit the am session 4 days in a row. small but so well needed to cleanse my mental state.
To replace the fill valve you have to take the tank off it’s probably the worst design of toilet
Cb, i was sweating just wathing you, what a crappy design, last saturday, i had to pull 2 toto toilets, just to replace the ballcock. I hope you charged extra
I made an honest dollar like any honest plumber.....🤑
Damn, Keep toilets simple.
KISS......keep it simple stupid.....they forgot that motto
i call it install toilet from hell.
perfect!
I hate that POS, customer calls how much to install a toilet , you give them your regular price , show up an that beast is sitting there
triple dat price maaaaam lol
CB-1 I have installed toilets like that before they suck . When I see those kind of toilets I charge more money. Peace
Man. they getting it. I also gotta go fix the sensor button. all the boxes been open on the job. give me a break
Now you know what kind of toilet NOT to buy.
for sure..stay clear
American stranded.
perfect....lol
American Stinkturd
Cb another profession u would be good at is a gynecologist.... u work well with ur eyes closed... or not being able to see🤣😂
hold on get my around the corner glasses on.
easy install my foot this is a rubbish design.
oh lord.....joker broke my back
heavy pigs for sure, only thing worse is the one piece odd shaped ones.
hard to carry alone.....
That’s the dumbest crap toilet I’ve ever seen. I’d have been cussing for sure...
shoot me. I actually did two in 3 months...2 different customers. thank god no third was needed.
Just another over-engineered piece of garbage. No need to reinvent the wheel when it comes to crappers, stick with what works. Engineers worrying too much about looks and not about the installers or practicality.
Never liked setting flanges like that for the very reason you see here. If the tile guy sets the tile tight to the flange, you have to fight to get the bolt in and risk cracking the tile. Using the other slits and you never have to worry about that. Bolt slides right in every time.
amen brother.
"Easy install".... What a horrible design!
terrible
