We were going to remodel our bathroom, new toilet, tile, vanity but DH
hurt his back pretty bad and we're thinking about doing it next spring
instead. Right now the new toilet and tank is in the unheated,
unattached, cold garage. With a central Ohio winter coming on we were
wondering if the cold weather might damage the toilet in any way. It's
still in the store packing.
thanks,
kay

Assuming there is no water in the trap, it should be fine. The only way
there would be water in the trap is if it had been installed at some time.
If new you should not need to worry.

No problem. Cold temperatures won't harm it, only if water was left in a
used one to freeze.

How do you think the toilet GOT to Ohio? Perhaps in a climate-controlled
van?

Good point HeyBob, but it does make you wonder about how they ship things
that should NOT freeze such as paints, food items, and other things that say
'DO NOT FREEZE. Or how about things that say 'store at room temperature'
when ship in summer or in hot areas.
