    First of all, we must be clear about the structure of the toilet, the toilet tank accessories are composed of three parts, they are the water inlet valve, drain valve, flush button. There are two types of toilets, one and two, and the two types of tank accessories are replaced in the same way, as long as you open the lid of the water tank, you can see the basic structure of the water tank. The split tank needs to be removed from the toilet before the tank can be opened.

    How to replace the inlet valve.

    First remove the cover on the toilet tank and find the inlet valve in the tank, usually the nut that holds the inlet valve directly below it. Once you find the nut and remove it, the inlet valve can be removed, and then the new inlet valve can be installed in this position.

    The drain valve and the inlet valve have the same fixed nut position directly below it. When installing, simply reinstall the previously removed fixing nut and check the firmness of the fixation by hand. After installation, simply reinstall the toilet seat.

    The button on the right side and the top of the toilet flush button, some people say that the water tank should be replaced after the button is broken, otherwise there is no matching button. In fact, you don't need to replace the water tank, if your button is completely broken, you need to buy a whole set of button accessories to replace it. If it's just that the connecting chain inside is broken, replace the chain with a new one.

    Before buying a new accessory, you should first check which part of the button is broken, and then buy the accessories in a targeted manner.

    The specifications of the accessories of the water tank are not the same, there are large and small, long and short, how can we accurately buy the right water tank accessories? If you want to buy the right accessories, you need to measure the size of the accessories in the tank before purchasing. The parts that need to be measured are the height of the water valve, the diameter of the button hole and the length of the button lever.

    1. Use a socket wrench to loosen the screws that fix the toilet seat under the toilet.

    Rotate the screws by hand to remove.

    3. Remove the screws that fix the other side of the toilet seat.

    4. Remove the old toilet seat.

    Remove the screws that come with the newly purchased toilet seat.

    How do you remove a toilet?

    1. How to dismantle the toilet The first step is to check whether the toilet has cracks, it is made of ceramic magnet and is easy to hurt people, and it is necessary to wear protective work gloves when working. First remove the lid of the water tank and place it in a place where there is no water, turn off the water source to flush the water in the water tank, press the flush handle and do not put it, let the water run completely and wear rubber gloves, and use a sponge or towel to dry the water in the tank that has not flowed away.

    2. The next step is to use a tool to get rid of the remaining water in the toilet, and then you can use a dry towel or sponge and other absorbent things to dry the inside of the toilet. The bolts may not come out, and it can take hours to remove the tank from the toilet seat. Remove the connected hose from the toilet bowl and pour the excess water into the bucket so that the tank is connected to the toilet seat.

    3. We can use a hacksaw to cut off the bolts and disassemble them, and we can buy a single-handle saw to facilitate work and use in a relatively small space. If your toilet bowl is glued to the floor with gap filler, you can use a tool knife to cut the sealant. Gently shake the toilet to loosen the adhesive sealant and lift the toilet again.

    What are the precautions for removing the toilet?

    1. The waterproof engineering of the toilet at home must be done carefully, especially when the toilet is replaced, the toilet sewer pipe should be waterproofed, because when the old toilet is dismantled, the original waterproof layer is easy to cause damage. Therefore, during the insurance period, it is better to do waterproofing again to avoid unnecessary trouble to the family.

    2. Before disassembling the toilet, we must first determine whether the lower drain or the side drain of the toilet at home is clear, so as not to cause the wrong toilet to be purchased and not used. If it is a drain, measure the distance from the drain to the back wall and then buy the toilet according to the size, after the installation of the small size, the toilet tank will leak a large gap from the wall, if the size is large, the drain of the toilet and the drain of the floor drain will not be used.

    Then everyone should have an understanding after reading it. In addition, although we know how to remove the toilet, it is necessary to learn the precautions for removing the toilet, but it is recommended that it is better to let a professional get it when replacing the toilet, so that it will be more assured. I hope what is written above can help you and serve as a reference suggestion for you.

    Dismantle the old one first, close the main water valve, press the flush, drain the water in the toilet, unscrew the water filling pipe behind the toilet, and see if the toilet and floor tiles have been glued. After that, open the new box, install the toilet lid (you can also install it later), look at the several drain holes under the new toilet, select the drain hole of the toilet according to the position you want to install, and then align the sewer pipe of the sewer, put the toilet straight and flat, and then connect the main water pipe behind and tighten it; If the toilet lid is not installed, install the toilet lid first, and then put on glass glue, and fix the toilet bowl and floor tiles together, otherwise you will touch the toilet when you install the toilet lid, and the glass glue will be in vain, and it will be used for 24-48 hours, but you should look at the control valve of the toilet water storage tank, and adjust the amount of water is OK.
