Default Fixing modern toilets ?

How the hell are you supposed to secure them ?


You should have a fixing kit for it. The 2 types I've used are as
follows:
1/ A metal spike that screws into the floor with a threaded hole in
the top. Line up the pan and bolt through the holes in the pan into
the hole in the spike.
2/ A plastic L-shaped block that screws to the floor and sticks up
next to the holes. Position the pan and screw through the holes into
the block.

If you can't get the fixing kit from the supplier, you could bodge a
similar fixing to 2 by screwing a block of wood to the floor in the
right place, then screwing through the hole in the pan into it.
