4. Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance of your toilet tank. Follow these general steps for installation. Consult a qualified plumber if you are unsure about any part of the process.

4.1 Pre-Installation Checks

• Verify that the rough-in dimension for your toilet bowl is 12 inches. This is the distance from the wall to the center of the drain hole in the floor.
• Ensure you have all necessary components, including the toilet bowl, tank-to-bowl bolts, washers, nuts, and a tank-to-bowl gasket (often included with the bowl or sold separately).
• Inspect the tank for any visible damage before installation.

4.2 Tank Installation Steps

1. Place the tank-to-bowl gasket onto the flush valve opening at the bottom of the tank. Ensure it is seated correctly.
2. Carefully align the tank over the bolt holes on the back of the toilet bowl. Lower the tank onto the bowl, ensuring the gasket creates a seal and the bolts pass through the holes.
3. From underneath the bowl, place washers and nuts onto the tank-to-bowl bolts. Hand-tighten them initially.
4. Alternately tighten the nuts with a wrench, a quarter turn at a time, to ensure even pressure and prevent cracking the ceramic. Do not overtighten.
5. Connect the water supply line to the fill valve shank at the bottom of the tank. Hand-tighten, then use a wrench for a final quarter turn.
6. Slowly turn on the water supply to the toilet. Check for any leaks around the tank-to-bowl connection and the water supply line.
7. Allow the tank to fill and flush the toilet several times to confirm proper operation and check for any leaks under pressure.

4.3 Addressing Leaks During Installation

If leaks occur after installation, first ensure all connections are snug. If factory-supplied hardware results in leaks, verify that all rubber washers and seals are correctly positioned and undamaged. In some instances, using alternative or additional sealing components (such as rubber washers from a previous installation, if compatible and in good condition) may be necessary to achieve a watertight seal. Do not force connections if they do not seal properly; re-evaluate the setup.

5. Operating Instructions

The PROFLO PF9412C Edgehill Toilet Tank operates by a standard flush mechanism. To flush the toilet, depress the flush lever located on the side of the tank. This action lifts the flush valve, allowing water to flow from the tank into the toilet bowl, initiating the siphonic action for waste removal. Once the tank is empty, the flush valve closes, and the fill valve refills the tank to the appropriate water level.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and efficient operation of your toilet tank.

• Cleaning: Clean the exterior of the tank with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish or internal components.
• Internal Inspection: Periodically remove the tank lid and inspect the internal components (fill valve, flush valve, flapper/seal) for wear, damage, or mineral buildup.
• Leak Checks: Regularly check for any signs of leaks around the base of the tank, the water supply line, and inside the bowl (e.g., a running toilet indicating a faulty flapper seal).
• Component Replacement: If internal components show significant wear or are causing issues, replace them with compatible parts.
