is there any kind of lip that goes from the seat riser down into the toilet bowl to avoid leakage between toilet bowl and riser?

No, but it is slightly smaller than our bowl on the inside and has stayed clean.

None I'm aware of. To solve that problem, I took some self-sticking plastic wrap and ran several sheets from the outside edge of the riser and extended them down to the inside edge of the toilet. Be sure the inside ring of the toilet is clean and dry as too the riser, so the plastic wrap will adhere. This prevents leaks from occurring and, once soiled, easily tossed and replaced.

We have had no problem with that. My husband had both knee replacement and said this seat was great

There is no lip but we have not had a problem with strays (leakage between{

Noelie - The riser sits right on the surface of the toilet bowl lip and fits tightly enough that there really shouldn't be a need for a lip to make a better seal. The current seat hasn't been a problem for my parents and they have been using theirs for several months now.

Yes they have a toilevator toilet riser for oblong commodes. We just bought our second one and it is a big help for my husband.

yes there is a fitting provided that diverts the tank fill supply line when the bidet is flowing

No. This is the seal that goes between the the opening at the bottom of the toilet and the pipe that goes into the blackwater tank. When you flush, this prevents a water leak. The blade mechanism stops odors from seeping from the tank. Try removing any toilet paper that may have been trapped in the grove the sliding blade goes into. A wire coat hanger with a 90 degree bend at the end may do the trick. Good luck.

I assume you are asking about a leak of water through the toilet, as opposed to water leaking onto the floor. Take off the top of the tank. When the float is at its uppermost position, does the fill valve (flush valve) shut off? It should. The other possibility is that the flapper is leaking, slowly draining the water from the tank into the bowl and leading to refilling.

Naturally, has a valve to adjust amount of water in the bowl, but does not come with a shut off valve to the toilet. Further questions?

You need a flange (or at least bolts) to keep the toilet from tipping and/or moving. So, while you could use this the way you suggest, and it would be effective, I wouldn't recommend doing so. If the toilet wiggled around over time, eventually the seals would erode and leak, which is what eventually happens to wax rings when they dry out or get too old.

You raise the toilet seat. This Raised Seat has a lip around the bottom that fits inside the bowl edge. It works pretty well, depending on the size of the bowl. Mine is rather large, so the raised seat moved slightly...just sit straight down on it.

Yes, not a great design. It is always upright, but plumbers tape has solved the leaking problem this time. Suggested by the Tyrent tech guy.

I noticed your question was back in 2011. Hopefully you figured it out. Here's to those who still have that challenge. The simplest way I could describe this is to start underneath the toilet seat. Pull the elastic center up through the "hole" in the middle and fit it over the seat, leaving the plastic ring underneath.

No, it isn't. I didn't realize that my toilet bowl didn't have a rim -- the top of the bowl and the bottom were just one smooth piece so when I tried to tighten the seat to the bowl, it didn't work right. I just have to be careful how I sit down and get up so the seat doesn't move around.

No they don't as there are several types of floor flanges and bolt lengths. Make sure the bolts you get are long enough for the toilet base. BTW, my toilet works great and the wife doesn't plug it up or have to double flush like the old one.

Yes but, you can also use the newer design plastic seal rings on the market. The wax rings are cheap, easy to use and seal very well. I installed four of these toilets and picked up the wax rings at Home Depot. Installation was a breeze, despite the weight of the one-piece toilet. It helps to have a second person there to help you guide the base of the toilet down over the two brass bolts that protrude up from the flange at the floor.

No. But the upper part comes off easily and the bottom part is carried to where you want to empty it. It doesn't spill or leak out and there is a hole with a top you open to pour out the contents. Just a note: I only use this toilet for liquids, if you get my drift, just to avoid extra clean-up.

Probably yes depending on the proximity and position of the water supply valve in relation to the base of the toilet. Is it directly behind the toilet base or offset to one side? The riser is slightly wder than the toilet base and is not adjustable side to side. It does have built in adjustability front to back. The only other question is wether the new water supply line provided in the kit is long enough to reach your floor supply valve. if not, a longer line would have to purchased.

I am not sure because I don't have this issue, but my only thought is that you have the valve to the hose open at all times. I don't think the product is made to keep pressure at all times. That would explain the constant leaking as well as the fact that it leaks more when you flush (due to the additional water pressure). I would try turning off the hose where it meets up with the toilet tank and if that doesn't solve it, then you should see about getting that piece replaced.

There is no extra lid-just your own. The raised seat is more like a spacer, you use your own toilet seat.
