Luxury White Adjustable Wooden MDF Toilet Seat With Chrome Fittings & Hinge

Product Information

Although most seats and fittings are adjustable so that they will fit the most common toilet bowl shapes, you still need to ensure it’s the right size. D-Shape: These seats tend to be modern so suit modern bathrooms and toilets and they are a little larger than more traditional toilets As you would imagine, instead of a securing the seat in place from below using a nut on a bolt that runs through the pan, the fixings are screwed down from the top into the top of the pan in the same way you would screw a screw into a piece of wood. Depending on what type of hinges you have will depend on how they are fixed. Some hinges have no adjustment and simply fix in one position and if this is the case for yours then simply position them over the fixing plugs, insert the screw down through the hinge and into the plug and then screw it up. Fine adjustments can be made by rotating the hinge plate; this ensures that the fixing bolts can be adjusted so both will go into their respective holes in the toilet bowl

Finally, slip the vinyl or plastic washer over the stud and slide it up to the hinge plate. This sits between the hinge plate and pan and protects the pan from scratching. Step 2 – Adjust the Hinges If you have metal fixings these can be a little different and may need fitting from below. If you have any doubts then refer to the manufacturers fitting instructions that came with the kit. Step 2 – Position and Fix Hinges

The fixing itself normally works in the same way as a wall plug. A plastic sleeve pushes down into the hole in the pan and then a screw or bolt screws down in. As it screws in the sleeve expands and grips tightly in the hole holding it firmly in place. The most common shapes of toilet seat – from left to right, round nose, traditional pointed nose, D-shaped and square

If your studs and wingnut or nut are plastic then, as we have said, don’t over tighten them as you can easily strip them. Depending on the type of seat or seat fixings you’re using, tools may not be needed. However it’s a good idea to have a basic set to hand: Altering the location of the fixing bolt in the hinge plate can move the position of the hinge forward

What “wrap over” actually means is that the lid of the seat wraps over and covers the actual seat all the way down to the top of the pan. This not only gives a more modern and minimal look but also helps to keep things more hygienic. It is quite fiddly as grub screws face the cistern and therefore one cannot see these grub screws once the seat is in position. Slow Automatic Closure Toilet Seats With the lid and ring flat to the top of the toilet pan and the hige and hinge plate in the same position, lower it down on to the pan, slotting the studs through the fixing holes. As plastic is a fairly tough, hardwearing and durable material they also last a good amount of time. Rounded Nose: The traditional shape of toilet seat and due to this probably the most common, they are also smaller than other designs so ideal for smaller bathrooms
