2.3 Installation Steps (Overview)

1. Prepare the Flange: Ensure the floor flange is clean and free of old wax.
2. Install Wax Ring: Place a new wax ring onto the toilet horn or around the floor flange.
3. Set the Bowl: Carefully lower the toilet bowl onto the floor flange, aligning the bolt holes with the T-bolts. Press down firmly to create a seal.
4. Secure the Bowl: Install the washers and nuts onto the T-bolts. Tighten them evenly until the bowl is secure, but do not overtighten to avoid cracking the ceramic. Attach the color-matched bolt caps.
5. Install the Tank: Place the tank onto the bowl, ensuring the rubber gasket is properly seated. Secure the tank to the bowl using the provided bolts and washers.
6. Connect Water Supply: Connect the water supply line to the fill valve on the tank. Hand-tighten, then use a wrench for a quarter turn.
7. Install Trip Lever: Attach the chrome trip lever to the tank.
8. Test for Leaks: Turn on the water supply and check for any leaks around the tank, bowl, and supply line connections.

Note: The toilet seat is sold separately. We recommend American Standard model 5503A00B.020 for optimal fit and comfort.

• The EverClean® antimicrobial surface is built into the finish to inhibit the growth of stain and odor-causing bacteria, mold, and mildew.

4.2 Internal Components

• Periodically check the fill valve and flush valve for proper operation.
• If you notice continuous running water or a weak flush, inspect the flapper or fill valve for wear or misalignment.

5. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your toilet. For more complex problems, contact American Standard customer support or a qualified plumber.

5.1 Toilet Runs Continuously

• Check Flapper: Ensure the flapper is sealing properly at the bottom of the tank. Adjust the chain if it's too tight or too loose.
• Inspect Fill Valve: The fill valve might be set too high, causing water to continuously flow into the overflow tube. Adjust the float to a lower level.
• Gasket Wear: Over time, the flush valve gasket can wear out, leading to leaks. This is a common issue and may require replacement.

5.2 Weak or Incomplete Flush

• Water Level: Ensure the water level in the tank is at the recommended mark.
• Flapper Opening: Make sure the flapper opens fully and stays open long enough during a flush.
• Clog: A partial clog in the trapway or drain line can cause a weak flush. Use a toilet auger if necessary.

5.3 Leaks Around the Base

• Loose Bolts: Check if the tank-to-bowl bolts or the floor bolts are loose. Tighten them evenly.
• Wax Ring: A damaged or improperly seated wax ring can cause leaks. This typically requires removing the toilet and replacing the wax ring.
