Toilet Moving Method Video Translation

Admin September 24, 2026

There are mainly the following methods for moving a toilet (toilet bowl):

Method 1: Using a Toilet Offset Connector This is mentioned in the videos 'Tricks for Moving a Toilet: Two Easy Methods' and 'Is the Toilet Position in the Bathroom Wrong? A Plumber Shares Detailed Toilet Moving Methods'. If the toilet needs to be moved a short distance, a toilet offset connector can be used. First, prepare components such as a flat elbow, round pipe, and sealing gasket. Insert the small opening of the special offset connector for the flat pipe onto the existing floor drain and cut off the old flat pipe. Then, measure the center-to-center distance of the toilet's drain hole and glue the horizontal pipe of the offset connector in place. At the same time, ensure a proper slope is created to ensure smooth drainage. Using an offset connector for moving the toilet is relatively simple and does not require complex operations such as negotiating with the downstairs neighbor to drill holes. However, the moving distance is limited and is generally suitable for small-scale movements.

Method 2: Negotiating with the Downstairs Neighbor to Drill Holes and Connect Pipes As introduced in the video 'Tricks for Moving a Toilet: Two Easy Methods', when the toilet needs to be moved a relatively long distance, it is necessary to negotiate with the downstairs neighbor to drill holes in the ceiling of their bathroom and then connect pipes below. This method can achieve a relatively long-distance toilet movement and meet some special layout requirements. However, the implementation process is relatively complex. It requires the consent of the downstairs neighbor and involves construction operations in the downstairs area, which may have a certain impact on the downstairs neighbor's life. After construction is completed, proper waterproofing measures need to be taken to prevent water leakage problems.

Method 3: Toilet Moving Tutorial Steps Referring to the video 'Toilet Moving Skills: Easy Solutions', first, perform marking work such as moving 7.5 units to the left to determine a new position that can cover the original marks and is as close to the wall as possible, while maintaining a distance of 10 centimeters from the angle valve. Then, lay the pipes horizontally and vertically, dig a depth of 9 centimeters, and fill it with a leak-stopping compound for sealing. Finally, install a sealing ring to ensure good drainage sealing of the moved toilet and prevent odor leakage problems.
