Hello. For accidental circumstances, I broke the toilet (compact), but the tank is whole. The question is, if I buy a toilet bowl (used) separately, will the tank fit the toilet? Do the holes on the toilets for the tank mounts go standard or for each model separately their fasteners? Thanks in advance.

There are no standards for flush tanks and the toilet itself. Different cisterns and toilets differ in shape and volume; there are also differences in design and overall dimensions.
You, when buying, need to pay attention to the following points:
- similarity in overall dimensions (height and width) and design;
- the center distance of the holes of the tank mounting to the toilet, the correspondence of these sizes relative to the new toilet;
- the location and size of the outlet, inlet for water.

Hello! No, you can’t buy the first tank you get, unfortunately.
Tanks for toilets differ from each other:
1. A fastener option - immediately with a shelf and with a separate configuration.
2. The shape and size of the bottom.
3. Lateral or lower version of the conduit connection.
4. The volume of water (if you buy a tank, and it will suit you for other parameters, pay attention to this, this is an individual factor, which is more convenient for anyone).
5. Color - even standard white can be of different shades, if coincidence is important to you.
6. Mounting holes. At the same time, even a similar model of a flushing cistern, as it is not surprising, may not enter your fasteners for the toilet.
What to do? Once there was a similar situation, it was necessary to pick up a tank for the toilet. B / y was rejected immediately, after all, this is a sanitary product that was touched with hands after the toilet, cracks, chips, cavities, etc. - bacteria remain in them, which, even after thorough washing with bleach, remain alive. And again, the chance that someone has the same fasteners is minimal. We tried to buy a tank in the store. The result was also disappointing, because we did not find the same configuration in our city, only on order, and cunning sellers for the search for an analogue filled the price so that it was easier to purchase a new toilet.
In my opinion, you have the option to try to find in the shops of the city or in the local online store (it is unlikely that there is an option to bother with delivery from another city). Regarding fasteners and shelves:
1.Write down your toilet model, if you know one.
2. Take a white sheet of paper, apply it to the toilet shelf, roughly outline the shape and holes for fasteners.
3. Cut out the template, put it on the shelf again for verification, and then go shopping in your city with this template. Do not forget about the desired tank volume.
