FAQs

What materials are these toilet tank bolts made of?

The bolts are made of durable 304 stainless steel, and the kit includes rubber components (like gaskets) and washers for a secure seal.

How long does installation typically take?

Installation is generally quick and can be completed in a matter of minutes by most users, assuming no complications.

What is included in the package?

The package includes 2 x 70mm toilet bolts, 2 x nuts, 2 x wing nuts, 2 x conical washers, 2 x flat washers, and 4 x metal gaskets.

Are these bolts suitable for all types of toilets?

They are suitable for standard home toilets. It's recommended to measure your existing bolts or the tank's thickness to ensure the 70mm length is appropriate.

Do I need any special tools to install these bolts?

Basic tools like a wrench or pliers may be helpful for tightening the nuts, but no specialized plumbing tools are typically required.

How do I know if I need to replace my toilet tank bolts?

Signs include a wobbly toilet tank, leaks around the base of the tank, or visible corrosion or damage to the existing bolts.

Can I overtighten the bolts?

It is important not to overtighten. Overtightening can crack the ceramic of the toilet tank or bowl, so tighten until snug and secure.

Troubleshooting

Leaking from the tank base after installation

Ensure all washers and gaskets are correctly positioned and that nuts are tightened evenly. Check for any debris on the sealing surfaces.

Bolt is too short/long for the toilet tank

Verify the specific bolt length required for your toilet model. If the bolts are too short, a longer bolt may be needed. If too long, ensure all included washers and gaskets are used to take up space.

Difficulty tightening the nuts

Ensure the threads on the bolt and nut are clean and free of obstructions. Use a wrench or pliers if the wing nuts are difficult to grip.

Water continues to drip into the bowl

This issue is typically related to the flush valve or flapper, not the tank bolts. Ensure the tank is properly sealed to the bowl.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Turn off water supply to the toilet and flush to empty the tank.
  2. Carefully remove the toilet tank from the bowl.
  3. Unscrew and remove old bolts from the tank.
  4. Clean the area around the bolt holes on both the tank and the bowl.
  5. Insert the new stainless steel bolts through the holes in the tank, using the provided rubber gaskets and washers as needed to create a seal.
  6. Position the tank back onto the bowl, aligning the bolts with the holes.
  7. Secure the bolts from underneath using the nuts, wing nuts, conical washers, and flat washers. Tighten evenly until snug, but avoid overtightening, which could damage the ceramic.
  8. Reconnect the water supply and test for leaks by flushing.

Compatibility:

These bolts are designed for standard toilet tanks and bowls. It is recommended to measure the thickness of your tank and the distance between bolt holes before purchasing to ensure compatibility. The 70mm bolt length is common but may vary.

Care:

Clean the exterior of the bolts and surrounding areas with a damp cloth and mild soap as needed. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could potentially damage the rubber components or affect the stainless steel over time.
