Woodland Hills Plumbers Install Toilets

Many people are tempted to take on the job of installing a toilet when their old one needs to be replaced. Here are 7 reasons why you may want to call Schuelke Plumbing to do it for you:

  1. You will want to make sure you are not violating or ignoring any local code restrictions
  2. You must make sure to properly align tubing into fittings or stop valves – forcing the nut onto the compression ring at an incorrect angle will cause a leak
  3. An air gap filling must be installed for fixtures
  4. The pipes used must be the correct size
  5. A brass or dielectric fitting must be attached to connect copper to galvanized pipes
  6. Threaded joints need PTFE tape or pipe compund
  7. You must run the outside hose valve and flush all toilets after installation to bleed the dirt and air from the lines when you turn the water back on – otherwise, the debris will cause problems in your sink faucets and other plumbing fixtures

Call Schuelke Plumbing and we will do a complete and thorough inspection of your home or commercial building’s plumbing system while we are installing your toilet. The Woodland Hills plumbers also serve the entire San Fernando Valley and greater Los Angeles area.
