Has anyone installed this on a side handle toilet? Did it work well? I am assuming you just adjust the rod to the right angle.

Ours is on the side. It works great. My husband installed it so I can't say exactly what he had to do differently but it couldn't have been too bad because I don't remember there being a lot of swearing on that project. :)

I think you may have to wrestle with the pipe that goes down into the holding tank and rotate the flange to align with the toilet. I don't know how they are held in place, but probably with some type of putty. If you place the bolts in the flange and get a pry bar that should rotate the flange. Good luck.

If you have a one piece Kohler toilet, you have to remove the existing seat fasteners. Mine we rusted beyond use so I drilled the bolts out. Using the anchor kit noted, replace seat fasteners following the instructions. Make sure the bolts are reasonably tight before remove the bolt holder arm. Retighten without the arm to complete the process. Good luck!

I'm not sure I understand your question. When it was time to put the handle back on, I positioned it so that it was facing the right direction, then turned the base to tighten. If you are referring to the tool - it's not threaded and works both ways.

Yes you can use it on a lowboy toilet since the legs are adjustable. The back bar does not have to be adjusted. I hope that you know that the toilet seat has to be taken off to fit the safety rails on the camode. There were no directions when It was delivered and I was unsure how to atach it.

I have just purchased the toilet and installed lately, have not thought about replacing yet. Try direct to Thetford, or my last toilet I went to home depotand bought an elongated seat. A slight medication and it worked. That's all I can offer. Bud

I have found that it fits perfectly on our elongated toilet. It does require a skilled workman to install but once installed I have had no problems with it.

This device works with a round, closed front toilet seat. I don't know about other types. I am considering swapping out the toilet seat for an open-front (round) style because of the urine-caused rusting problem from the device.

I tested it and it is very stable and can be used with one hand without tipping. It doesn't seem to slip. The back bar rests against the toilet tank keeping it from moving backwards.

I was trying to figure a way to do that today. The only thing I could come up with was to possibly install a shut off valve on the T that goes to the unit. I don't know if that would affect the toilet too or not. It would be nice if it had a pressure adjuster on it. I just try to not pull the handle all the way up but it is very touchy.

I am not too handy but I installed it myself. The control unit is attached to the side of the toilet. i.e. if one pees in a standing position, splash can happen.

That's interesting, you're more observant than I was. Mine is installed and the handle is on the right as in the specs and it's on the right side of my sink. Would or could it be reversed if it was on the left side of the sink??

I hired a professional plumber to install it! If you are gonna lay that much for the toilet I recommend having it installed by a professional! We love it!!

I used mine on a standard toilet. I would look for one specifically suited for elongated

I've installed this on two different toilets and have had good luck with both, although with a little finagling for each installation. I don't know the Mansfield unit you reference but would suggest that you contact the vendor before purchasing. They are very helpful and responsive to an initial question that I had. Good luck...

I put mine on the right side (facing the toilet). Water pipe and inlet is on the left. I'd want to keep the outlet away from the water connections for the toilet and the seat.
