Setup and Installation
Installation of a wall-mounted toilet requires specific plumbing and structural considerations. It is highly recommended that this product be installed by a qualified professional.
Pre-Installation Checks:
- Ensure the wall carrier system (not included) is correctly installed and securely anchored to the wall studs, meeting local building codes.
- Verify that the water supply line and waste outlet are correctly positioned and accessible for connection to the toilet bowl and flush valve.
- Confirm you have a compatible wall-mounted flush valve system and toilet seat ready for installation.
General Installation Steps (Consult a professional or detailed carrier/flush valve manual):
- Prepare the Carrier: Ensure the carrier bolts are extended to the correct length and the waste pipe connection is ready.
- Connect Waste Outlet: Attach the toilet bowl to the waste outlet of the carrier system, ensuring a watertight seal.
- Mount the Bowl: Carefully slide the toilet bowl onto the carrier bolts. Secure it with the provided washers and nuts. Do not overtighten.
- Connect Flush Valve: Connect the wall-mounted flush valve (purchased separately) to the toilet bowl's inlet, following the flush valve manufacturer's instructions.
- Install Toilet Seat: Attach the toilet seat (purchased separately) according to its manufacturer's instructions.
- Test for Leaks: Turn on the water supply and flush the toilet multiple times, checking all connections for leaks.
Operating Instructions
The PROFLO PF1732 toilet bowl operates in conjunction with a wall-mounted flush valve system. Operation is straightforward:
- Flushing: Activate the flush handle or button on your wall-mounted flush valve. This will release water into the bowl, initiating the flush cycle.
- Water Level: The water level in the bowl is determined by the design of the bowl and the flush valve system. It should be sufficient to cover the trapway.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your PROFLO toilet bowl.
Cleaning the Bowl:
- Use a soft cloth or sponge with mild, non-abrasive toilet bowl cleaner.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals (e.g., bleach, acid-based cleaners) as they can damage the vitreous china finish.
- Rinse thoroughly after cleaning.
General Maintenance:
- Periodically inspect the connections between the toilet bowl and the wall carrier/flush valve for any signs of leaks.
- Check the toilet seat for tightness and adjust if necessary.
- For maintenance of the flush valve system, refer to the separate manual provided by the flush valve manufacturer.
