Package Contents
The PROFLO PFJRC412HE Jerritt Toilet package includes:
- Toilet Bowl (Elongated, Chair Height)
- Toilet Tank with Internal Components (Fill Valve, Flush Valve, Left Hand Trip Lever)
- Tank-to-Bowl Gasket and Hardware
- Floor Bolts and Caps

Setup and Installation
This toilet is designed for floor-mounted installation. The two-piece configuration requires assembly of the tank to the bowl before final installation onto the floor flange.
Required Tools and Materials (Not Included):
- Adjustable Wrench
- Screwdriver (Phillips and Flathead)
- Wax Ring with Flange
- Flexible Water Supply Line
- Sealant (optional, for base)
- Measuring Tape
Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Area: Turn off the water supply to the toilet area. Remove the old toilet if applicable and clean the floor flange. Ensure the floor flange is level and securely attached to the floor.
- Install Tank to Bowl: Place the tank upside down on a protected surface. Install the tank-to-bowl gasket onto the flush valve tailpiece. Carefully align the tank with the bowl, ensuring the gasket seats properly. Secure the tank to the bowl using the provided bolts, washers, and nuts. Tighten evenly to prevent cracking, but do not overtighten.
- Set the Wax Ring: Place the wax ring onto the floor flange, ensuring it is centered. Alternatively, the wax ring can be placed around the outlet horn of the toilet bowl.
- Position the Toilet: Carefully lower the assembled toilet onto the floor flange, aligning the bolt holes in the toilet base with the floor bolts. Press down firmly and evenly to compress the wax ring and create a watertight seal.
- Secure the Toilet: Install the washers and nuts onto the floor bolts. Hand-tighten, then use a wrench to tighten evenly, alternating between bolts. Do not overtighten, as this can crack the ceramic. Install the decorative bolt caps.
- Connect Water Supply: Connect the flexible water supply line from the shut-off valve to the fill valve shank on the underside of the toilet tank. Hand-tighten, then use a wrench for a final snug turn. Do not overtighten.
- Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the water supply valve. Allow the tank to fill. Inspect all connections (supply line, tank-to-bowl, and base) for any leaks. Flush the toilet several times to check for proper operation and leaks.
- Install Toilet Seat: Follow the manufacturer's instructions for installing your chosen toilet seat (sold separately).
Operating Instructions
The PROFLO PFJRC412HE Jerritt toilet operates with a standard left-hand trip lever for flushing.
Flushing the Toilet:
- To flush, press down firmly on the left-hand trip lever located on the front left side of the toilet tank.
- Hold the lever down briefly until the water in the tank begins to drain into the bowl.
- Release the lever, and the tank will refill automatically.
This toilet is designed for efficient 1.28 GPF flushing, providing effective waste removal while conserving water.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your PROFLO toilet.
Cleaning:
- Clean the exterior surfaces with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaner.
- For the bowl interior, use a toilet brush and a toilet bowl cleaner. Follow the cleaner's instructions.
- Avoid using abrasive pads, harsh chemicals, or cleaners containing bleach on plated parts (like the trip lever) as they can damage the finish.
Internal Components:
- Periodically check the fill valve and flush valve for proper operation.
- Ensure the flapper or flush seal is seating correctly to prevent leaks.
- If the tank is slow to fill or constantly runs, the fill valve may need adjustment or replacement.
Troubleshooting
Here are some common issues and their potential solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Toilet runs continuously | Flapper not sealing, fill valve out of adjustment, or faulty fill valve. | Check flapper for debris or wear. Adjust fill valve water level. Replace flapper or fill valve if necessary. |
| Weak flush | Low water level in tank, clogged rim jets, or partial clog in trapway. | Adjust fill valve to increase water level. Clean rim jets. Clear any clogs in the bowl or drain. |
| Leaking at base | Loose floor bolts, faulty wax ring, or cracked bowl. | Tighten floor bolts evenly (do not overtighten). Replace wax ring. If bowl is cracked, replacement is necessary. |
| Leaking from tank-to-bowl connection | Loose tank bolts or worn tank-to-bowl gasket. | Tighten tank bolts evenly. Replace tank-to-bowl gasket. |
