Default New toilet leaks between the Tank and the Bowl?

lbbss wrote:

I don't understand why my new toilet leaks between the tank and the bowl
(Crane Plumbing toilet). I put in the foam seal on the proper
orientation, I tightened the two bolts (with rubber washers) evenly. I
tightened them until the tank barely touches the bowl ribs. I followed all
the instructions, so I don't know why I still got a leak? I assume the
leak is at the seal and not at the bolts. I can see that the rubber
washers are well seal and compressed inside the tank. Any ideas?




Rule 1.

All toiltes leak.

Rule 2.

All gaskets supplied are of inadequate dimensions, and sub standard material

Rule 3.


If God had meant toilets to leak, he wouldn't have given us silcone sealant.


Take it apart, smear everything with THICK layer of silcone, screw back
FINGER TIGHT ONLY, take the dog for a walk, come back and tighten down,
and crap in peace.
