How to install a closed couple toilet.

Fitting a closed-coupled toilet is a relatively straightforward process that can be completed by following these steps:

1. Prepare the area: Ensure that the area where the toilet will be installed is clean and free of any debris or obstructions.
2. Fit the cistern onto the pan: Place the rubber washers onto the bolts at the base of the cistern and carefully lower the cistern onto the pan. The bolts should pass through the holes in the bottom of the cistern.
3. Tighten the bolts: Place the metal washers and nuts onto the bolts underneath the pan and tighten them using a wrench. Be careful not to over-tighten the nuts, as this can crack the porcelain.
4. Connect the water supply: Connect the water supply to the inlet valve at the base of the cistern. The water supply pipe can be connected using a flexible hose or a compression fitting.
5. Install the flush mechanism: Install the flush mechanism onto the cistern lid. This may involve fitting a lever or button that will operate the flush.
6. Fit the toilet seat: Fit the toilet seat onto the pan by sliding the hinges into the slots provided and tightening the nuts underneath.
7. Test the system: Turn on the water supply and test the flush mechanism to ensure that the toilet is functioning correctly. Check for any leaks around the base of the toilet and the water supply connections.
8. Finish the installation: Once the toilet is installed and tested, you can finish the installation by sealing around the base of the toilet with silicone sealant.

It’s important to note that the installation process may vary depending on the specific model of closed-coupled toilet, and it’s always a good idea to consult the manufacturer’s instructions for specific guidance. If you are not confident in your DIY skills, it’s best to seek professional help.
