An Easy Way To Handle Raised Toilet Seat Installation

By Jennie Sandoval


Raised toilet seats are crucial especially to the elderly. Buying depends largely on what is instructed by a healthcare provider. Toilet seats come in various forms and each of which is engineered with specific purpose. Buyers must, therefore, check with their physicians before heading to the nearest home depot.

Being able to distinguish the right seat can give the elderly real comfort and convenience. It will not be hard to scout out a store with the unit specified by one's doctor for there is a ton in the city that has these on display. Installing the system, however, is pretty taxing but nobody is required to look for professional installer for this to be carried out perfectly. A purchase normally includes an easy-to-understand set of instructions. If carefully followed, one can expect to finish the project the way it has to be. For those that are installing bubble-type elevated seat, this helpful guide is perfect.

First is to lift the seat and the cover of the toilet. This has to be done in order for the lid and the seat to be positioned upright and to be out the way. It will be impossible to work efficiently without having it done for the bowl will be required to be opened later.

The seat will then be positioned with the tall end at the rear of the bowl and the inner ring found over the opening. For the bowl to be installed, the elevated seat should be pushed down until it is made sure to have securely put in place. And since this is not intended for permanent use, one should check the doctor from time to time for it can compromise safety of users going beyond recommended date.

The elevated toilet seat that has adjustable knob is a bit harder to install. Yet then again, paying for an installer to have this done perfectly is not an option. The same things will be done in the few steps, though. The cover and seat should be lifted for akin reason.

Adjustments are to be made only by the time the cover has been raised. Once finished, the adjustment knob has to be turned in counterclockwise direction for the adjustment bracket to loosen. Doing this makes the seat much easier to fit with the bowl.

This must be done continuously until it perfectly fits. After, the raised toilet will placed on the rim of the bowl while hooking the rear flanges found under the edge. It is important to make sure that the elevated unit sits flat right on the rim and the knob is at the front end.

Having securely positioned on the rim, the new set has to be pushed hard for it to be perfectly placed in the center. The adjustment knob this time will be turned in a clockwise direction to tighten. Turning in the opposite direction has to continue until resistance is felt.

And if the top end of the raised toilet seats hit the lid, these should be removed for proper fit. Specific instructions for installation and adjustments are identified by the American Red Cross to ensure safety. If having trouble installing, it is best to call for professional help.
