Installing the toilet and pedestal sink
1.
You'll need to install a new wax ring for the toilet flange
2.
The old toilet's rigid steel water-supply line was replaced with a new quarter-turn stainless hose, which came with solderless compression fittings
3.
Slide shims under the bowl to level it, which ensures the toilet will flush and fill properly
4.
Tighten the floor bolts, but be careful not to overtighten or you'll crack the toilet's ceramic base
5.
Set the tank in place on top of the bowl, aligning the gasket, and bolt the two together. The new toilet's smaller six-litre flush will save water
Installing the pedestal sink
1.
Fasten the sink and pedestal base together
2.
Mount the faucet supply valves and spout on the top of the sink and tighten from below
3.
Before fastening the sink to the wall, make the connections from the water-supply lines to the faucet tail pieces, as well, install the pop-up drain lever
4.
Ideally, at least one of the basin's two mounting holes will line up with a wall stud. If not, use a hollow-wall anchor to mount the basin portion of the pedestal sink securely to the wall
5.
Align the sink's drain connection with the drainpipe from the wall and tighten the locknut. The installation of the drain pop-up can now be completed
6.
Flexible water-supply lines with quarter-turn shut-offs
7.
Caulk between the sink and wall
8.
Finally, try the faucet to test for leaks
