slipping toilet seat

[DanJohnston]

Hi

I've just finished installing a new bathroom suite and and the toilet seat which is attached using a rubber washers and wing nuts keeps slipping to one side - which is extremely anoying. I've tried readjusting the hinges, tightening the locking screws etc etc but still no joy. Does anyone out there have a magic solution.

Thanks

Dan

You can get plastic angle pieces which are attached to the underside of the seat and which extend down into the bowl a short distance. They prevent sidewards movement.

I saw these advertised recently in a flyer but can't remember where.
Don't know if they can only be attached to wooden seats.

Sometimes the wing nuts have a tapered lead in ,to fit into the underside of the toilet.
Or try winding insulating tape or similar around the thread until it takes up the excessive hole size,
Hope this helps.

I think you'll find the washers that slip are plastic. If you use rubber with a metal backing washer you should be OK.

The screws for the toilet seat screw are smaller than the holes in the toilet. No matter how much I tightened eh screws the seat still slipped.

I went to the local hardware store and bought new bolt and nuts (the plastic kind). Then I went to the aisle in which they sold rubber fuel tubing. I found a size that have the same inside diameter as the the diameter of the screws. The Outside diameter of the tubing happens to be the same as the diameter of the hole in the toilet. it took a little work to get the tubing onto the screw after I cut it to length.. Screwed the nuts onto the screws and the thing seems to fit tight. there should be no slippage at all with this arrangement
