## Abstract

An installation system comprises a guide bolt, which is fastened to the toilet bowl and which comprises a slot which extends throughout the bolt, and a fastening element that secures the said bolt. The installation system comprises an installation element comprising a large diameter socket and a small diameter socket. The installation element is screwed to guide bolt through its large diameter socket. Passing through a hole on the water tank and a slot, a bolt is screwed into the small diameter socket of the element. The installation system ensures that the water tank is uninstalled from and installed to the toilet bowl without removing the toilet bowl from where it is installed.
