Start Installation

Quick heads-up: If your current toilet doesn't sport a supply shut-off valve beneath the tank, make sure to pop one in before you dive into setting up your shiny new throne.

1. Remove Old Toilet

• Turn off the water supply.
• Flush the toilet to empty the tank. Remove any water left in the tank or bowl.
• Disconnect the supply line from the tank.
• Remove decorative caps. Unscrew nuts that attach the toilet to the floor. Remove toilet.
• Make sure the water supply valve is shut off before installation.
• Remove old toilet bolts from toilet flange. Clean any old wax, putty, etc. from base area.

2. Install or Relocate Water Supply

Install or relocate the water supply and outlet as necessary to conform to the rough-in dimensions of your new toilet. Ensure that the shut-off valve is greater than 7½" from the center of the drain to the center of the shut-off valve on either side.

NOTE: This is a true 12" rough-in toilet from finished wall to center of the drain (no less than 12"). Baseboard thickness may reduce rough-in dimension.

Product Cleaning & Care

• Do not use in-tank cleaners in your toilet. Products containing chlorine can seriously damage fittings in the tank. This can cause leakage and damage.
• Do not use cement while installing toilet.
• Wipe surfaces clean and rinse completely with water immediately after applying cleaner. Rinse and dry any overspray that lands on nearby surfaces. Do not allow cleaners to soak on surfaces.
• Use soft, dampened sponge or cloth. Never use abrasive materials such as hard-bristle brushes or scouring pads to clean surfaces. Use of any abrasive materials may damage the porcelain glaze.
• If you live in a hard water area, make certain that the rim-jet holes underneath the rim of the toilet bowl are kept clean to ensure proper flushing.
