    Install a handicap toilet is it the same as install a regular toilet?
    Replacing the old toilet with a handicap toilet is there a difference in the locating holes to bolt it down the reason is the handicap has the holes on the back?

    Hi Carlos

    You can bolt a floor mount toilet to the floor....has holes in the base (bottom) of the toilet bowl.

    You can mount a wall mount toilet to the wall...has holes on the back base of the toilet bowl.

    You cannot mount a wall mount toilet to a floor mount base.

    It sounds like you have a wall hung toilet:

    Bolts and a sewer pipe should be coming out of the wall if this is the proper toilet for your installation. Otherwise, you need a floor mount toilet.

    Questions? Let me know, OK?
