View the thread, titled "Small crack in underside of new toilet" which is posted in Boiler Advice Forum on UK Plumbers Forums.

I'm about to install a new American Standard Cadet 3 toilet. It's upside down about to receive the wax ring and I noticed there's a small crack in the underside of the bowl. It looks like a place where they plug an opening during casting. I've attached a photo. No sign of a crack in the inside (glazed) part of the bowl. Should this be a concern? Is it likely to fail?

No looks like a shrinkage crack to me would fill the bowl upto / until water comes out the waste etc with clean water and see if anything leaks overnight eg put a paper towel underneath etc
