How to Install a Twist Hinge Toilet Seat
- 1). Twist both hinge caps on the rear of the seat to the "Open" position, which is often done by turning the caps counterclockwise.
- 2). Flip the seat over. Press the head of the bolts into the cavity underneath the seat hinges.
- 3). Turn the seat back over, with the lid facing up. Twist the hinge caps to the "Lock" position, which is usually done by turning the caps clockwise.
- 4). Position the seat on the rim of the bowl, with the bolts inserted down through the two hinge post holes in the bowl rim.
- 5). Attach the included nuts on the bolts from underneath, threading one nut onto each bolt with your hand. Finish tightening the nuts with an adjustable wrench to get them tight. On some models, the bottom of the nut will snap off when you have it tight enough. Follow the specific tightening directions for your twist hinge toilet seat.
