Good Morning Everyone. Life Lesson #whatever... When reassembling the Throne, do not over tighten the tank bolts. The porcelain will break 
Another $200 later, I have a new Throne. I was thinking of maybe opening a YouTube account, doing a short film of the new Throne, set to music...."Reunited and it feels so good, Reunited and it's understood"... but some tender little crybaby would throw a hissy fit and I'd be banned. Marxists are such joyless creatures.
Clean up, hang shower curtains, replace the electrical fixtures, and move all of the accessories back into the master bath. My two day project only took 10 days. Hairy Homeowner stuff.
Have a Safe and Blessed Day.

Thing is, you become an expert when you're done and a good chance you'll never have to do it again.Good Morning Everyone. Life Lesson #whatever... When reassembling the Throne, do not over tighten the tank bolts. The porcelain will break

I'm probably gonna replace a throne or three in my house soon. Let's just say they don't do a very good job. Never have. I want a throne fit for a king, not a princess...if you know what I mean. So I'll get my turn without the floor work (hopefully).Good Morning Everyone. Life Lesson #whatever... When reassembling the Throne, do not over tighten the tank bolts. The porcelain will break

Just make sure you run the height of thrones by aforesaid princesses first. We women ...excuse me....height challenged persons really don't like our feet dangling in mid-air.

The American Standard I bought was a "Round" which is four inches shorter in length (not height) than an "Elongated". They come with "Slow Close Lids", and some sort of anti-bacterial coating that inhibits mold. The flapper valve in the bottom of the smaller tank is nearly twice the size of the older models. Even though it uses less water, it flushes all at once. No more spinning and swirling, just "bloop" and bowl is completely empty.
Bronze will probably be looking at the Dual-Action Flush (two flappers, larger tank) and the Elongated Bowl models. I wanted to save space, so I went with the Round. And it does sit a few inches higher, but my feet still sit comfortably on the floor. They come complete, with wax ring, tank gasket and all hardware, but unassembled.
And it was probably the easiest install in this whole bathroom project.

Mornin' Arm! Headed out to pick up a few flavors. I'm fortunate that Bull City Flavors is near me. They're one of the more popular flavor joints among DIYers.
I would happily view your "How to Install a Throne". My day to do so it coming and I would like to see one where someone makes a mistake then corrects it so that I can avoid it.

My advice - follow the directions with one exception. Have a 2' level handy, and as soon as you set the bowl but before you push down, set your level across sideways and front to back. Use your strength/ weight to level up the bowl as best you can before screwing down the nuts that connect the bowl to the flange.
Yes, but to Ms Hula’s point… Do Mamaw’s feet still sit comfortably on the floor? That’s the important gauge of success.
But! The biggest question for y'all is.......? Is it a Ferguson?

So I informed Mamaw that this is the big question today on the Big Thread. And, Mamaw says both of her feet rest comfortably on the floor.
I guess American Standard is a "Politically Correct Throne".

Thank you! That’s a relief. And now Mamaw knows we are here looking out for her.
And, for domestic tranquility, the safe throne.So I informed Mamaw that this is the big question today on the Big Thread. And, Mamaw says both of her feet rest comfortably on the floor.
