Danco 10879X All-In-One Toilet Installation Kit

Well designed & thought out unit with lessons learnt features such as the plastic alignment pegs for the attachment bolts enabling one man installation of the toilet

As an engineer there are some things that come naturally. I'm great with electricity, AC, DC, PV, load panels, 240VAC, split-phase, 3-phase (delta or wye), transformers, datacenter UPSs, HVAC systems, etc. BUT PLUMBING NEVER WORKS FOR ME AND IT ALWAYS ENDS UP LEAKING!!!!So in preparation for replacing an old Toto that was a bear to clean (once a week due to poor design) and wouldn't stop leaking no matter what flapper I put in (and even sanded the inside rim) I watched a bunch of YouTube videos. The ones with detail done by professionals recommended this kit. So I got it. (Also "flapper" is the new name for "ballcock.")WHAT IS GREAT ABOUT THIS: The directions are so well written if you can read pictures you can do this. You can also watch the videos. They included almost every part or piece I'd ever want EXCEPT no shims. You can get shims for $4 at Amazon, HD, Loew's, ACE, TruValue, etc. If you don't want store-bought shims you can use a rubber door stopper triangle and cut it just right.Everything I needed was there, and the instructions were clear, so I had cut the old caulk, removed the toilet, removed the gunky wax seal and stuff ahead of time. I measured as per the kit and didn't need the "blue part" since the level of the flange was above floor height. Took it off, put it aside, never used it.The alignment rods are perfect. I've watched videos of people trying to align the two bolt holes while moving the 80-100lb toilet. Having the two rods marking where to put the bolts in and positioning the toiler so the blue rods stuck out of the holes in the toilet base was TRIVIAL.Then, I removed the blue rods (just pull them out, no friction, no screwing) and put the bolts in. Hand tighten using the plastic grommets. No crescent wrench no channel-locks no torque wrench (they warn you not to overtighten or the porcelain breaks).Hooked up the water and the bidet seat. No leaks!!! My first plumbing job with no leaks, and it was a toilet r/r -- the toughest job excluding the under-sink garbage disposal.The toilet appeared stable but when I sat on it there was a bit of a wobble. Tightening the bolts is not the right answer if they're already hand tight. More YT video and went and got shims. Put them in, wobble gone, cut just shy of the toilet base rim so caulk would hide it, and that was done.Caulked for completeness but not in the back, cleaned it up with a credit card (better than a wet finger because it shoves the caulk into that rounded slot between the toilet base and the floor) and it was good. It's been three plus weeks and it's all perfect.Was it worth the price to get it done RIGHT, THE FIRST TIME, not worry about alignment, and have no leaks?YES YES YES.Great product. Great price. Job done right first time. DIY heaven.

Excelente producto.

Easy to install, this is a great product to use especially if you ever encountered spinning bolts while trying to get the toilet out.

NO sirve si la brida esta por encima del nivel del piso o al ras, literal no se pudo usar nada de esto mas que la cera que se apachurra al poner el inodoro xD la embarre como pude sobre la brida, ah y el exceso va a dar al caño ojo con eso porque se te puede tapar con la cera, en resumen usen un sello normal de cera y no esta cosa (sale mas barato)
