American Standard toilets are super easy to install. This tutorial shares how to install a new American Standard VorMax, which cleans the bowl with one big jet of water.

Before we begin there are 5 things to consider when buying a toilet:
1. Rough-in
2. Height
3. Shape
4. Color
5. New Technologies
Always know your rough-in before getting the new toilet. This is the measurement from the closet flange bolts to the wall (not the baseboard).
Height is personal preference, but if you can test the height at the store that's a good thing.
Shape is easy. Most of the time your choices are round or elongated. Round is good for tight bathrooms...by that I mean small.
Color is again a personal preference. I recommend having the toilet match the vanity and tub.
Technologies have changed with toilets. In today's tutorial we install the VorMax toilet which has better cleaning action than a traditional throne (had to throw in a little funniness).

Don't forget a supply line to connect toilet (12" supply is most commonly used) - amzn.to/2A7E6ED

The first step in replacing a toilet should be to remove the old one. I have a good video on how to do that
• How to Remove a Toilet...
The next step is to inspect the closet flange and fix it if need be. I have a good video on how to do that, too

Btw, this is my CYA, I'm not responsible for any toilet leaks...it's up to you to inspect your work and make sure it's up to code. This video is meant to be for entertainment purposes.
