Proper toilet installation plays a very important role in its performance, durability, and prevention of water leaks. If the installation is not done properly, you may encounter problems such as unpleasant odors, loose toilet seats, or water leaks.

Steps to install an above-ground toilet
1️⃣ Check the installation location
First, check the location of the sewer outlet. The standard distance from the wall is usually 20 to 30 cm. The ground surface must be completely level.
2️⃣ Installing the sealing rubber
Place a rubber or sealing washer on the drain outlet to prevent leaks and bad odors.
3️⃣ Placing the toilet
Gently place the toilet over the drain outlet and use a level to check that it is level.
4️⃣ Fixing the toilet
Secure the toilet to the floor using screws and wall plugs. Be careful not to overtighten the screws or the body will crack.
5️⃣ Connecting the water tap
Connect the connection hose to the urinal valve and toilet tank and make sure the connections are tight.
6️⃣ Final sealing
Seal around the base of the toilet with sanitary silicone adhesive to prevent water and dirt from entering.
