All about Resetting Rear Flush Toilets
Posted by GuestPoster in -Home Improvement
A toilet with a rear flush is a kind of flush toilet that has a waste line that empties out or flushes at the back instead of going through the floor.
Just like any other bathroom fixtures, rear flush toilets might become faulty. One probable reason might be because the installation was administered the wrong way. In particular, some may have issues with resetting the toilet. This article will look into this specific issue and recommend the best possible solution.
Situation at hand
You need to reset the toilet (with a wall flange) on a tile floor. The tile floor sits atop a cement board or a concrete slab without any wood sub floor. The finished floor height is about 1/16 inch. However, there are no plumbers in the area or anybody knowledgeable enough about the proper installation or resetting of a rear flush type toilet. Hence, you are left with no choice but to fix the problem on your own. If faced with this kind of situation, fret not. Read through these easy steps to help you easily reset your toilet.
Procedure
First and foremost, you need to drill a hole through the tiled floors while using concrete anchors such as plastic, lead, or direct screw. A hammer drill may be used to drill through the cement board and right through the slab.
After which, secure the toilet by drilling guide holes through a board. The toilet may be used as a template. Get a wax ring made specifically for rear flush toilets. They are readily available in most plumbing stores. The right wax ring should not have a funnel. Instead, it should have a “felt” ring that is inserted in the center.
Once you have acquired the wax ring, you need to dry fit the toilet. Mark and drill through the floors and securely install the toilet by inserting the bolts into the floor. Ensure that the head of the screws/bolts sink just below the surface of the cement board.
Make sure to carefully follow the instructions stated above to ascertain that you will be able to successfully accomplish the task.
