Smells like fish..
What do you guys think of the silicone rings as opposed to the wax rings?
pro tip…..prime & paint before installing your finished fixtures
Okay toilet is installed, so will the next step be how to aim when i go number 2?
Tip: A leak in the wax is going to take about 6 months of use to show up.
That offset pipe diameter seems a bit on the small side with some sharp turns. I wonder how it tolds up when one takes a massive dump. Lol
Guys you forgot to put the lid on the toilet lol.
Illegal flange only smooth surface for drainage. Hire a real plumber Pre prep install a CI flange before tiling
this old schitter
This was definitely take two or three. You can see where they had to remove the wax from the flange and BS plastic piece. I bet Kevin screwed up take one…..LOL
Did he say cock- eyed…lol
Those flanges are not really that great. I always pour lead joints and do it the right way or replace it with pvc. I hate those Koehler toilets.
Wouldn't is be smarter to paint the walls before installing the dump pot?
That is one ugly toilet.
No Rich to explain to us how the water flows in and up and around then goes…… =)
Wow, Kevin really outdid himself with his phone flash light holding skills!
Wow
That toilet is going to leak, they didn’t lick the wax ring to activate the seal!
Kevin needs a proper light!
Why are they installing the toilet in front of an unfinished wall?? wow
1.The bend is just ridiculous and will continually block up.
2. Plasterboard isn't even waterproofed and probably the floor tiles are just sitting on plain osb or chipboard!
Yes he did I was really proud of him but that's the most screwed-up toilet I've ever seen wow I hope they don't start making all them like that
Toilet installed before baseboard and paint?
Weak video. Glossed over the details.
is there a chance that the plastic adapter will ever be clogged its so small to allow big waste to pass-through
Not having a reliable pocket light other than your phone is super weird.
How are ya going to finish painting the wall behind the toilet tank? Is that adapter a good idea?
If you had your choice, which Country would the USA copy? Which country do you think is better than the USA, is it China or Russia or India or . . . ?
I guarantee that “black plastic adapter” will be blocked with literal crap before too long.
"we got wata"
Building a better mouse (toilet) trap. Not.
It would be cool if all of these short clips had their own channel called either "Ask This Old House, This Old House – Quick Clips"? This would be for any of the different types of shows that you produce and if it is a short clip like what you have here? This way it would be in one place and it won't be mixed up with your full episodes. Whenever someone is looking for a short episode they can go to one place and see what they want but when they want to see full episodes they can go to one place for it as well? If it's set up right it would be nice to have the ability to type in YouTube search either Ask This Old House, Toilet Long and you would get episodes that have those keywords in it and it would be a full episode or you could type in the search Ask This Old House Short and only get short clips?
They didn't show buddy breaking in the toilet aftah lunch to check for fahht gases seeping out. Also, fucc sharkbite fittings
I would clog that thing in the first use! 2 — 90° bends???
How about first tiling the wall and then placing the toilet?
What is it with Americans and these wax rings? Never seen one of these in my life.
Real hack job drilling the holes through the tile as evidenced by only one of the screws going in straight. The screws were also to small in diameter for the holes in the flange. Who installs a toilet before the walls are painted?!!!!
Why didn't they pain or tile the wall first before the toilet was installed? After it was installed, there was no room to do either behind the toilet.
Those toilets require at least 3 flushes for a good sized turd!
Please don’t use a plumber that uses shark bites use a compression valve. And why in the world are they setting that toilet before paint or anything?
I’ve installed two of those types of toilets in the last month. They’re super weird and aren’t the standard install. Not sure how easily they’ll clog. I’d stick to the conventional ones. Easier to install and waste goes straight down.
Move over Jed, let me take her for a spin.
Oh kohler
Excellent video!!
El plan del gobierno es que tienes que seguir trabajando para pagar impuestos, cuando no puedas, tendrás que morir porque te conviertes en una carga para el gobierno, no importa que pagaste toda tu vida para pagar tu inodoro que te costó un brazo. y una pierna.
1:37 what did he say theyre putting on the pipe i couldn't understand it
1:25 they destroyed the screw holes in the flange.
Should have mentioned the adapter is used for Kohler skirted toilets where the traditional closet bolt configuration is not visible
. Waste doesn't drop straight down and is redirected through the adapter and I am pretty sure that the extra travel will eventually cause problems.
