Installing a KOHLER skirted toilet 🚽 💦

[@boobles3476]

leave it to kohler to make it ultra complex always

[@theplumberlorian]

Haha absolutely 😂

[@ryanfrizz]

Those toilets are so damn heavy and overly complex lol, hate them. That milwaukee lantern is sick though I have one too.
Never thought of soaking the wax ring in warm water that’s pretty slick

[@theplumberlorian]

Yes sir!

[@mccroneplumbing1207]

I gotta ask as a plumber, don't want to say master plumber of 38 yrs and I'm only 59, but why woukd u put a wax seal in warm water, if we go to do a finish tell the kids in the winter put a floor register cause gonna be a couple before we start installing fixtures
Never seen the need or had a problem, installed atkewr 10000 toilets
Don't believe everything you see here

[@derekmichael9375]

That notch in the baseboard 😂 I’ve been there, the right thing to do would be to move the flange out, but the customer doesn’t always want to pay that kind of money. Don’t tell me you left that stop either 😂 nice vid

[@austinc4922]

After installing the side bolts to the fling with the toilet on. Is it ok for the toilet to STILL be able to be moving around because it doesn't seem secured

[@tamaraespinosa1]

Using this video and instructions, just installed one. Did have to cut the bolt size down. Thanks for the visuals!

[@johnhejl6719]

Installed one years ago when I was first learning. Definitely not as bad as I thought.

[@theplumberlorian]

It’s better than it use to be

[@williamrudny8580]

Never installed one of those, heard they are very difficult but that didn't look too bad. My issue is the toilet doesn't seem "tight/snug" to the floor.

[@trdjody]

Floor/tile uneven

[@theplumberlorian]

I’m not a fan of them honestly

[@mccroneplumbing1207]

Its actually easy, specially for a professional

[@ricklee827]

Seal around the toilet after you install a it'll be alright

[@timc1341]

Installed my first one today.
Customer supplied and i didnt realize it was skirted until arrival.
Customer was a nice guy but he wanted to watch the whole time as i deciphered the directions....fun stuff.
These toilets are stupid. Installation wasnt so terrible but its honestly just Karen appeasing technology because it looks slightly better. No functional benefit whatsoever.

[@LearnPlumbing]

I feel it slows the low flush toilet just a little causing the occasional misfire. I do t like the flush water has to leave the smooth porcelain trap way and enter the plastic double offset before entering the drainage system.

[@Seven7Pain1]

lol during winter i have to do that to wax rings

[@theplumberlorian]

You know it! 😂

[@jayson8hampton]

I put my first one in last week, and had to cut the 1/4 round too. Pain in the butt if you have to change a wax ring down the road and heavy too. Looks good though lol

[@9MMSWORD]

That tp roll in an awkward location though

[@bernardzsikla5640]

Did you soak the wax ring to warm it and soften it??

[@jondoe4807]

Yes I have to do it in the winter

[@iricharddrake1692]

Real question why didn’t you use an offset flange instead of cutting their baseboard trim

[@misterbuddyboy]

Never thought of that I always put them in the microwave thanks for the tip

[@jondoe4807]

@@misterbuddyboy 😂

[@misterbuddyboy]

@@iricharddrake1692 an offset flange is only used to offset away from something like a joist, and on the installation of the piping system not on the finish those toilets are longer for some reason in the back, that's why he cut the trim, by the way I'm not a big fan of those toilets

[@DR-um2bv]

How is that plastic part and those screws nut thingamajig gonna hold up especially if have and you have to remove it. Or snake it out ro plunge it and it leaks where the 2 pieces come together under skirt.

[@mikehennessy1865]

Anyone else have the cam strip out on installation?

[@garyglenn3654]

We just installed a Kohler Gleam. MUCH easier than I anticipated.

[@mariosifuentes5994]

Because is skirted often the supply line is on the way , be aware of that . Also kholer don’t have “standard “ parts if you need to replace something , you struggle to find the tigh one out of the ,for example ,509 different flapers they have 😂 in short kholer is bs , also toto

[@theplumberlorian]

Oh yeah Kohler loves to control the parts, you can’t just go to HD and get it

[@mccroneplumbing1207]

That's hilarious, I always ask the client when they give this shit to install, did u order replacement parts for the future, they clueslessly ask why, n I tell them home department don't sell these parts nor does lowes
But pay me 145$ to go shopping, lol cause that's the hourly rate whether we driving, working, or shopping for u
Buy moen, riobell, delta atleast, or all that money u think your saving, u gonna pay me to replace in less 10 yrs

[@johnbudnick6484]

Yeah I hate installing those toilets. Big pain

[@theplumberlorian]

💯 agree

[@radondar9230]

Nothing like a smaller hole to plug up after enchilada party

[@trdjody]

I hate installing these 😂 at least your floor was level!?

[@theplumberlorian]

Haha had that going for me!

[@mccroneplumbing1207]

Actually not that completed at all, as a plumbing contractor for 38 pretty successful years, watching my kids see how easy it is, makes me laugh
Just looks intimidating

[@theplumberlorian]

Just way too many unnecessary steps and the fact that you cant see the bolts when setting I’m not a fan of

[@albertosierra3478]

No water supply need it😅😅😅😅😅😅😅can you believe it 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

[@Jubileejones]

I can't get the tank on!

[@tenthdimension9836]

Wow you seem to have removed a lot more of the trim then you needed to.

[@theplumberlorian]

How’s that ?

[@iversonjcameron]

Nice.....but why

[@lonniehill83]

It CAN'T BE THAT easy 😅

[@theplumberlorian]

Haha 😂

[@alexcorona]

Leaving the trim unfinished like that is not professional at all, would expect this from a backyard mechanic not you….

[@theplumberlorian]

The customer supplied toilet wouldn’t fit .. guy told me to make it fit, which cutting the trim was the only option .. it should have been a 10 inch rough fixture

[@garrettwalker2415]

whoever buys these want to watch the world burn. just buy a regular toilet.

[@snappybabby4646]

i prefer my toilet wear something more revealing.

[@theplumberlorian]

LMAO 😂

[@markd9105]

How about a pants one😅

[@theplumberlorian]

What’s that?

[@kemojammeh5418]

Lovedy how are you?

[@theplumberlorian]

Thanks for watching!
