Might interfere with operation of the overflow drain, or
fill valve? Tipped one way, the over flow drain is up in the
sky, so the tank over flows over the top. Tipped the other
way, the tank doesn't get a good fill, so you have a 1.4 GPF
toilet, that doesn't move solids down the drain.


What is the possibility that it wouild be _so far_ off level that any
of that would happen? *Right at zero I would say.

It might be that way during an earthquake.


Or afterwards.


It would have to be _something_ on that order of magnitude.

That's why you should keep an extra wax ring, in case of an
earthquaake.- Hide quoted text -

No, No! If you use a waxless one, you can shim the toilet back level
and won't break the seal
