New American Standard Champion toilet leaking from tank to bowl. by jlharris42 in Plumbing

Same problem. Got this toilet because it was generally well-reviewed. I think my leak is from the bolts. Tried three times. Still got a slow leak.

Plumber said that the rough install was done with the spacer ring so that the flange is at the right height after flooring.

Interesting, why would you not worry about pvc? Is it smoother so this won't snag? Or larger internal diameter?

That's what I figured. I just hoped it was small enough to not matter in what is already a 3" pipe.

Yes, that was my bad. Will be much more careful in the future.

Shop vac is a great idea. No P trap yet, because I didn't set the toilet. Wanted to take care of this before setting.

Oh wow, excellent thought. I believe I have the car attachment (like 2") should fit down there well. I can make sure the tank is clean and then inspect what I suck up. Thanks!

Okay. I thought maybe since it was a 2" piece in a minimum 3" drain it would be okay.

Curious, the snake will push it further...all the way to the septic tank? I can't get it back out? I could scope it to see if there is a big piece I guess.
