5. Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of your Alphabath toilet. It is recommended to have two people for certain steps due to the weight of the ceramic components.
- Prepare the Closet Flange: Install new closet bolts into the closet flange. The length of the closet bolts may need to be cut and shortened to ensure the bolt cap will fit properly.
- Prepare the Toilet Bowl: Turn the toilet bowl upside down onto a soft surface to prevent scratches. Place a new wax ring around the waste flange of the toilet bowl.
- Position the Toilet Bowl: Carefully lower the toilet bowl onto the closet bolts, aligning the mounting holes in the base of the toilet with the bolts. Using a rocking motion, press the bowl down to position the toilet onto the flange.
- Secure the Toilet Bowl: Install plastic washers, followed by metal washers and nuts onto the closet bolts. Tighten the bolts alternately until the toilet is firmly seated on the floor. Do not overtighten.
- Install Bolt Caps: Install the decorative caps over the tightened bolts.
- Connect Water Supply: Connect the water supply line to the fill valve on the toilet tank. Ensure all connections are hand-tightened, then a quarter turn with a wrench. Do not overtighten.
- Install Toilet Seat: Attach the soft-close toilet seat using the provided hardware.

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners and a soft cloth or sponge to clean the ceramic surfaces. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads that could damage the glaze.
