As Seen On by Jeff Patterson in Bathroom Plumbing, DIY Bathroom Remodel How much does it cost to replace a toilet. Today’s toilets are easy to assemble and require at most one extra tool. I know this first hand because we just put in a brand new American Standard Cadet 3 at my Sister’s house. If your old toilet has been removed the new one can be installed in less than an hour. With that said, I had to make one modification (which I’ll share) to the installation that I believe to be necessary. Here are the supplies you’ll need: American Standard Cadet 3 (get the correct rough-in) Crescent Wrench Closet Flange Bolts Steel Braided Water Supply Line After you see how quiet and water efficient the Cadet 3 is you’ll wonder why you didn’t make the switch a little sooner. I couldn’t believe how darn silent the flush was. This is perhaps the most thorough tutorial I’ve done. I’ll walk you through the entire process start to finish and by the end you should be a toilet expert. Let’s get started and you’ll discover how easy this project is to do. Determine Your Toilet Rough-In and Shape (Step 1) Most toilets are bolted to the bathroom floor with closet flange bolts. These closet flange bolts are typically 12 inches away from the back wall. This 12 inch distance does not include the baseboard. Measure the distance between the old closet flange bolts and the wall because this will determine the rough-in size of the toilet you need.http://azlawncare.com/userfiles/ke37xs910-manual.xml This picture admittedly is of the new closet flange and bolts. Our rough-in was 12 inches so we went with a toilet that had this dimension. American Standard makes toilets with rough-in measurements of 10 and 14 inches as well. If you can’t find your size of toilet at Home Depot or Lowes they might be able to special order it. If they can’t, go to a plumbing supply store and have them help you. My Sister’s bathroom has a 5 ft by 5 ft floor plan. So she decided to go with a round toilet instead of an elongated model. The rounded style makes the small bathroom feel a bit bigger. Plus, who likes banging their leg off an elongated toilet when trying to turn on the shower at 5:00 am. Not me! But choose the shape you like best. Installing the American Standard Cadet 3 Toilet Bowl (Step 2) In this example we replaced the old closet flange with a new one. If your toilet flange is in good shape you can remove the excess wax from the old wax ring and proceed forward. Make sure you do a thorough inspection of the closet flange to make sure it’s not rusted or broken. If this is the case you’ll have to replace or fix it before moving on with your toilet project. American Standard provides brass closet flange bolts that come with special lock nuts. The only issue we have with their lock nuts is they cannot be tightened with a wrench. This is where we made one modification to the instructions and used normal nuts instead. We just did it out of respect for whoever might need to remove the toilet in the future (say 50 years from now when someone else will be cursing this installation procedure). Before you insert the closet flange bolts into the flange you need to dry fit the new toilet bowl. Do this by placing the bowl onto the toilet flange on the floor. The toilet bowl should rest securely on the bathroom floor and not wobble back and forth. With the bowl on the floor measure the distance from the wall to the holes in its base where the closet bolts will be.http://www.diamondsinthemaking.com/content/boss-fz-2-hyper-fuzz-manual This distance is the rough-in measurement. Insert the closet flange bolts into the slots on the toilet flange. Use the rough-in measurement you got from the dry fit Cadet 3 toilet bowl to adjust the distance the bolts are from the wall. Tighten the bolts with a crescent wrench. Dry fit the toilet bowl again on top of the toilet flange and make sure the closet bolts fit through the holes on the bowl base. The Cadet 3 toilet bowl should rest on the floor without rocking back and forth. Remove the bowl from the toilet flange. American Standard provides the wax ring for the Cadet 3 toilet bowl. Place the wax ring on the toilet flange and make sure the black horn goes down into the waste pipe (not up toward the toilet bowl). It should look like a little pound cake resting on the toilet flange-I love pound cake ?? Place the American Standard Cadet 3 toilet bowl on the wax ring by lining up the holes in its base with the bolts in the flange. You’ve got one shot to do this right or you’ll have to get a new wax ring (which isn’t a big deal but a hassle). Once you’re sure the Cadet 3 bowl is lined up correctly push down on it with increasing pressure. Use the supplied plastic nuts to hand tighten the toilet bowl. I was skeptical that the plastic nuts would hold the bowl in place but they worked great. Make sure the bowl doesn’t wobble or move. If it does shift a bit you can hand tighten the plastic nuts just enough to keep it in place. Now you can place the plastic caps onto the plastic nuts. The cool part about the plastic nuts is that they serve to anchor the caps to the toilet. The bowl installation is COMPLETE!!! I don’t think that was too bad and as promised you only needed the crescent wrench. High Fives! Installing the American Standard Cadet 3 Toilet Tank (Step 3) The neat part about the Cadet 3 is that all the internal parts are already assembled within the tank. Because of this pre-assembly the toilet tank installation is quick and simple.http://columbuscigar.com/images/93-oldsmobile-cutlass-supreme-repair-manual.pdf Place the rubber gasket provided with the tank onto its tailpiece. Some people call the gasket a spud washer. Either way it needs to rest securely on the bottom of the tank. Pick the tank up and place it onto the Cadet 3 toilet bowl. American Standard provides a unique tool that helps secure and tighten the toilet tank to the toilet bowl. You place the nuts that fit onto the tank bolts into this tool. Then put the washers onto the bolts. Use the tool to hand tighten the nuts onto the tank bolts until the tank contacts the front and back of the toilet bowl. You can help this process by pushing down on the top of the tank while hand tightening the nuts with the tool. If the front and back of the toilet tank are touching the toilet bowl you’re done and have performed an awesome job. Be careful not to over tighten the toilet tank because this could result in it cracking. Attaching the Toilet Set onto the American Standard Cadet 3 (Step 4) We actually had more trouble figuring out this step than any of the others. You should first sort the metal washers that come with the toilet seat. There are two different types. The first type of washer helps the toilet seat adjust forward or backward while resting on the toilet bowl. The second type of washer positions the toilet seat in a neutral position. We used the washers that give a neutral position. Place the rubber gaskets for the toilet seat onto the toilet bowl. These help keep the toilet seat in place. Then place the toilet seat onto the rubber gaskets and embed the metal washers. Insert the plastic toilet seat bolts through the washers. Use the hand tool you used to tighten the toilet tank to tighten these bolts. Use the provided toilet seat nuts which are the size of an acorn!! While holding the toilet seat nut with one hand tighten the plastic bolt with the tool. We actually placed the extra metal washers between the toilet seat nuts and bowl. But this is unnecessary, we just did it so that if the seat needed to be adjusted forward or backward later on the washers would be available. The toilet seat should be good to go. Connect the Water Supply Line to the American Standard Cadet 3 Tank (Step 5) Connect the water supply line to the shut off valve by hand. Then tighten it one quarter to one half turn using a crescent wrench. Hand tighten the other end of the water supply line onto the toilet tank fill valve tailpiece. Don’t attempt to use a wrench to tighten this end of the supply line as this may cause the connection to actually break and result in a water leak. Turn the shutoff valve to the on position and check the water supply line for leaks. If you do encounter water dripping (or spraying) from the supply line connections turn the shutoff valve off then tighten the connections one quarter more. Btw, Fluidmaster makes really cool ClickSeal supply lines that click when they’re tight enough. Setting the Water Level in the American Standard Cadet 3 Tank (Step 6) The rule of thumb is to have the water level in the toilet tank be 1 inch below the overflow pipe. You can adjust the water level up or down by turning the screw on the float cup of the fill valve. Lowering the float cup will lower the water level and raising the float cup will raise the water level. You can flush the toilet and adjust the screw a few times to get the water level correct. Once the water level is correct and you checked for leaks the toilet installation is done. Add the lid to the toilet tank and place your Family Handyman magazines on top (LOL) because you’re done with this project. If you’re doing a bathroom renovation check out Bathroom Repair Tutor.

The only thing we might add is that if upgrading to this 16.5 inch high toilet from a shorter model, one will need a longer Water Supply Line. Our original 12 inch supply line was too short, and we needed a 16 inch supply line to reach the bottom of the new tank. Thank you very much for a great tutorial. It was very helpful for us. Cheers from Texas! Reply Jeff Patterson says: March 24, 2013 at 7:03 PM Thanks Steve for your tip, that’s a good one. Really appreciate your support. Hope you had a great weekend!! Reply David Armstrong says: July 28, 2013 at 11:06 AM Thank you. We had four American Standards installed by Home Depot contract installers last week. They tossed out the instruction manuals and the tool used to get the seat on and off. And one of the toilets would run about every ten minutes. With this tutorial I figured out how to get the seats off for upgrading and how to adjust the float level to keep the water from seeping out the overflow because it was set too high. Bingo to you! Reply Jeff Patterson says: July 28, 2013 at 5:54 PM Hi David, You made my day and I’m so happy that the tutorial was able to help you out. Running toilets can cost you a ton of money. Jeff Reply Donna says: August 18, 2013 at 4:56 PM I just installed my new Cadet 3 last night just as your post instructs. Problem I am having is toilet is not flushing. It’s like there is not enough water in the tank or something. The water level comes to within millimeters or flowing over the overfill tube. Any suggestions? Reply Jeff Patterson says: August 18, 2013 at 5:33 PM Hi Donna, Did your old toilet ever have a problem flushing. And do you know if the waste line is vented through your roof. Sometimes older homes’ waste stacks aren’t vented and this creates issues with newer toilets that don’t use a lot of water. Also, if you dump a few gallons of water into the toilet bowl does it go down okay. I just want to make sure the toilet is lined up properly over the waste pipe or nothing is clogging the pipe like a rag. Jeff Reply Rob Lee says: October 20, 2013 at 12:35 PM Very helpful, thanks. The only thing I would add is I had to use some shims to get the toilet level on the floor. I used the composite shims (Home Depot) instead of the usual wood, cut them to size, and a long spirit level to check for level. Thanks! Reply Jeff Patterson says: October 21, 2013 at 6:17 AM Hey Rob, those are good tips because very rarely is the toilet level. Good use of composite versus wood, thanks for adding your great ideas. Jeff Reply Traci says: November 29, 2013 at 5:52 PM Trying to unglog a toliet, I think my neice dropped a toy in it Reply Jeff Patterson says: November 30, 2013 at 10:03 AM Traci, I’d first use a claw-like device (the actual name is escaping my mind right now) to reach down into the bowl and retrieve it. You can find this in the plumbing section of Lowe’s or Home Depot for a relatively cheap price. If this doesn’t remove the toy you’ll have to remove the toilet bowl from the closet flange. This sounds a bit scary but it’s not. Turn the water off at the toilet’s shutoff valve. Flush the toilet until most of the water is removed from the tank. Plunge out most of the water from the bowl or use Oatey’s LiquiLock to gel up the remaining water in the bowl. Remove the two caps on the bowl that hide the nuts, unscrew the nuts, and pick up the bowl from the floor. Turn the bowl over and try to remove the toy from the underside. It’s likely stuck in the bowl’s internal trap that is u-shaped. Let me know if you have any questions. Jeff Reply Benny says: December 23, 2013 at 6:58 AM I tried your baking soda and vinegar and rain X 2 on my shower door. Perfect results. Thanks you so much peace. Reply Jeff Patterson says: December 23, 2013 at 12:15 PM Awesome Benny!! I bet the Rain-X will keep your doors looking great for months. Keep me posted. Reply Ann-Marie says: December 27, 2013 at 8:13 PM Thank you so much for the instructions and pictures. Was this an oversight. Also you do not mention screwing in the flange, but I can see it in this picture, so that’s what I did. Reply Jeff Patterson says: December 29, 2013 at 8:21 AM Way to go Ann-Marie!!! Thanks so much for sharing your story. I’m sure you can do more plumbing if need be. Isn’t awesome to learn something new, especially when it saves money. Closet flanges should be attached to either flooring. That’s why the flange has holes for screws. Sometimes I think people are hesitant to do it. In this example I had to drill through the porcelain tile that we just installed. This is a bit tricky and requires a hammer drill with the right bit to ensure the tile won’t be broken. I do recommend attaching the closet flange bolts to the closet flange with nuts. It secures the bolts in place so that the toilet is easier to install. You did a great job Ann-Marie. You should be proud of yourself ?? Reply Jay U says: September 8, 2014 at 5:29 PM Hi Jeff, loved your step by step approach with pictures and text instructions on the pictures too. I’m having a toilet repair issue I’m hoping you can help with. My toilet’s tank stopped filling with water and, after manually pouring water in and successfully flushing, I realized the flapper was not sealing completely too. I bought a Fluidmaster Fill Valve and Flapper replacement, but am stuck at one step of the repair. I spoke with Home Depot and they didn’t have any miracle troubleshooting ideas, at least none I could try on my own. What are the chances it’s the water supply hose. Water pressure? I’d really like to avoid the cost of a plumber (and maintain my pride at fixing my toilet!) but I’m at my wit’s end. Thanks for any suggestions. Reply Jeff Patterson says: September 15, 2014 at 7:50 PM Jay, I’d say you should replace the supply line. Take the old one to the store and get a steel braided version. Over tightening the supply line at the fill valve will create a leak. You can check the water pressure using a water pressure gauge. The water pressure should be 60-80 psi. Anything ore than 90 psi is high. But I doubt that would cause your leak. Feel free to send me pics or a video. Hope this helps Reply Jason says: December 1, 2014 at 2:50 PM Super helpful thank you. Just fixed my toilet that was constantly “filling”. Reply Zach says: December 9, 2014 at 12:55 PM Jeff, I had one of these installed this summer by a pro, and everything has been great until about 2 months ago. All of a sudden it is “re-filling” for a quarter second every few hours. More annoying than anything. I changed the flapper, but that didn’t do anything to help. What else could it be. It isn’t leaking on the floor or down the bolts or anywhere else visible. Thanks! Zach Reply Jeff Patterson says: December 10, 2014 at 5:15 AM It sounds like a bad fill valve Zach. But your toilet might have a warranty since it’s only a few months old. You should call American Standard and ask them to send you a fill valve. Explain your situation to them and I bet they’ll send the part no problem. Keep me posted though, I’d love to help you with the detective work if the fill valve isn’t the issue ?? Reply Patty says: December 18, 2014 at 9:44 PM Jeff, you rock. I spent hours on the internet trying to find out how to make my Cadet 3 stop running and running, and came across your installation instructions. The last step and photos about setting the water level solved my problem. Even American Standard doesn’t address this fix on their website. Thank you so much! Reply Rob says: March 25, 2015 at 6:32 PM I would like to add something here about thewax gasket. I have found it much eeasier to install the toilet if you push the wax gasket onto the bottom of your toilet first. This will insure that you get it lined up easier without smashing the gasket out of place. And it’s best to use the gasket with the horn. Reply Bobby Barry says: December 22, 2015 at 6:35 PM Fine presentation.As I have had “screw” adjustment toilets before. What you might add to your instructions is “Clockwise to raise the float, Counter-clockwise to lower the float”.Have a great holiday season and Happy New Year. Reply Jeff Patterson says: December 22, 2015 at 8:47 PM Thanks Bobby, yah, I wonder why they say that. It’s not surprising that the float would need adjusting. Thanks for adding this to the discussion, have a great holiday season Reply Kelly says: April 27, 2016 at 12:27 PM The link to the toilet removal mention just goes to your main website page, there was no link on that page either. Reply Jeff Patterson says: May 1, 2016 at 7:11 AM You know what Kelly, I must have deleted that post. Can’t find it myself!! I’d recommend using LiquiLock by Oatey in the toilet bowl. This will help gel the water and prevent it from falling on the floor. It’s great. You can find LiquiLock at Home Depot in the plumbing section. Thanks for this tutorial. I was wondering if you might know the answer to this question — if one were to buy the Cadet 3 tank, would it be compatible with a different bowl. I want a “comfort height” bowl from American Standard instead of this standard height one. One question though. I can’t see to adjust the black plastic post. It seems like it may break. I need to adjust it because the toilet runs constantly. We have to always pull the float up to stop it and the water level is right up to the top. Any help on this would be great Reply Jeff Patterson says: February 24, 2017 at 5:37 AM Sounds like you need a new fill valve Susan. We have had our Cadet 3 for a couple of months now. I have read comments they this toilet is very quiet. Do you know why ours would make this really loud gurgle. Thank you for any suggestions. Adeline Reply Joe says: September 5, 2018 at 10:59 AM Great tutorial with awesome pics. Reply Annelise says: July 27, 2020 at 9:08 PM Hi Jeff, I just bought the Cadet and installed it following the instructions brought in the box. The toilet flushes properly, and there is no water leaking. However, the toilet bowl fills to a normal level and slowly starts to decrease the amount of water in the bowl until there is hardly any left. Have you ever seen this problem. Reply John Tasinas says: August 23, 2020 at 8:51 PM Thanks for the tips, I tried dry roughing the install but the toilet wobbles. I noticed the base might be uneven is it my floor or the toilet.
