    Michellexiao..

    Toilets come with an integral ptrap inside the toilet bowl... so there is no need to install a ptrap. Just install a wax gasket and johnni bolts to a closet flange and set the toilet bowl and then install the toilet tank and you should be all set here!

    Let me know if this made sense or if there is something I missed...

    Thanks...

    Did you have an existing toilet. Or are you plumbing in a new toilet?

    What brand and model of W/C are we talking about?

    Is it a conventional W/C that bolts to a conventional closet flange -- Or is it a Sterling, Laufen or Toto W/C that slides onto an above floor trap body?
