Installation Instructions

Before You Start:

• Verify product dimensions and water supply connections by checking the product spec page on the American Standard website. Search by Model number at http://www.americanstandard-us.com/.

If Removing An Existing Toilet:

• Turn off the water supply.
• Flush to remove water from the tank. Sponge out remaining water from the bowl before removing the toilet.
• Clean the floor flange.
• Caution: If leaving the floor flange open for more than 1-2 hours, cover it to prevent escaping sewer gasses.

Back-to-Back Installation Considerations:

Depending on plumbing and venting conditions, back-to-back installations may create a vacuum that draws water from the opposing bowl. The National Standards Plumbing Code prohibits cross fittings for drainage due to potential siphoning. A directional "Y" style fitting with proper venting is approved to direct water downward and away from the other toilet.

Installation Steps:

1. Tank to Bowl Connection: Install tank grommets and tank bolts in the bottom of the tank. Place the tank gasket over the tank nut, ensuring no gaps between the gasket and the chinaware. Position the tank on the bowl, ensuring the plastic cone faces away from the bowl. Hand-tighten the tank bolts. Apply weight evenly and do not move after placement to avoid breaking the water-tight seal. Tighten handles alternately until the tank contacts the front and back of the bowl, achieving a china-to-china contact. (Note: To ease installation, push down on the top of the tank while tightening handles).
2. Wax Ring: Apply the wax ring to the toilet bowl flange.
3. Connecting Water Supply: Connect the water supply line (sold separately) to the fill valve. Hand-tighten the nut.
4. Final Steps: Turn on the water supply.

Important Warnings:

• WARNING: Overtightening of water supply line nuts could result in breakage and potential flooding.
• If the connection leaks after hand tightening, replace the supply line. If it continues to leak with the new supply line, replace the fill valve.
• Do not use plumber's putty, pipe dope, or any other sealant on the water supply connection, as this will void the warranty.

Care and Cleaning

Wash your toilet with mild, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.

WARNING: Do not use in-tank cleaners. These products can seriously corrode fittings in the tank, causing leakage and property damage. American Standard shall not be responsible or liable for any damage caused by the use of in-tank cleaners.
