Specifications

Setup and Installation

Important: Before beginning installation, ensure the main water supply to the area is turned off. It is recommended to have a bucket and towels ready to catch any residual water.

1. Prepare the Area: Clear the space around the toilet's water inlet.
2. Turn Off Water Supply: Locate the main water shut-off valve for your home or the specific shut-off valve for the toilet. Turn it clockwise until the water flow stops completely.
3. Drain Residual Water: Flush the toilet to drain the tank and bowl. Hold the flush handle down to ensure as much water as possible is removed.
4. Remove Old Supply Line (if applicable): If replacing an existing supply line, use an adjustable wrench to carefully disconnect it from both the toilet fill valve and the wall stop valve.
5. Install the Angle Stop Valve:
   • Apply thread sealant tape (Teflon tape) clockwise around the threaded pipe coming from the wall.
   • Thread the Jaclo angle stop valve onto the pipe by hand, then tighten with an adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.
6. Connect the CVR Tube to the Toilet:
   • Ensure the compression nut and ferrule are correctly positioned on the CVR tube.
   • Connect the upper end of the CVR tube to the toilet fill valve inlet. Hand-tighten the nut, then use a wrench for a final snug turn.
7. Connect the CVR Tube to the Angle Stop Valve:
   • Connect the lower end of the CVR tube to the outlet of the newly installed angle stop valve. Hand-tighten the nut, then use a wrench for a final snug turn.
8. Check for Leaks: Slowly turn the main water supply back on. Open the angle stop valve by turning its handle counter-clockwise. Carefully inspect all connections for any signs of leaks. Tighten connections slightly if leaks are observed.
9. Test Operation: Flush the toilet several times to ensure proper filling and operation.

Note: Professional installation is recommended if you are unsure about any steps.

Operating Instructions

The Jaclo Angle Compress Toilet Kit is primarily a static component once installed, designed to provide a reliable water connection. Its main operational feature is the angle stop valve.

• Turning Water On: To allow water flow to the toilet, turn the handle of the angle stop valve counter-clockwise until it stops.
• Turning Water Off: To shut off the water supply to the toilet (e.g., for repairs or maintenance), turn the handle of the angle stop valve clockwise until it stops. This will isolate the toilet from the main water supply without affecting other fixtures.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance of your Jaclo Angle Compress Toilet Kit will ensure its longevity and reliable performance.

• Periodic Inspection: Periodically check all connections for any signs of leaks, corrosion, or wear. It is recommended to do this at least once a year.
• Cleaning: The Polished Nickel finish can be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads, as these can damage the finish.
• Valve Exercise: If the angle stop valve is rarely used, it is good practice to turn it off and on completely once or twice a year. This helps prevent mineral buildup and keeps the valve operating smoothly.
• Leak Repair: If a minor leak is detected at a connection point, try gently tightening the nut with a wrench. If the leak persists, the compression fitting or the supply line itself may need to be replaced.
