Installation

Please note: Whenever possible and when safe to do so, it is recommended to carry out leak tests during the installation process.

Fitting Pan Connector

If using a straight connector through the wall, you can position as required. Each option below will give you the minimum dimension from the wall to the front of the fixing foot.

Please note: The desired location should be checked before drilling, ensuring that no pipes or wires can be damaged.

Option 1: Pan connector to be installed into the floor

Position the connector into the frame clip in the position shown, located in the rear recess, then close the clip. Minimum dimension: 140mm.

Option 2: Pan connector to be installed to the side

Position the connector into the frame clip in the position shown, located in the front recess, then close the clip. Minimum dimension: 170mm.

Adjusting Frame Height

Once the pan connector is in place, the height of the frame can be adjusted as required along with the depth of the frame from the wall.

1. Loosen the nuts and bolts in the fixing brackets and adjust as required.
2. Check the frame is level [level-indicator] and then tighten the nuts and bolts.
3. Once the frame is set to the required height and depth, mark the drill holes on the wall, and on the floor. Now you're ready to secure the frame.

Securing the Frame

1. Drill the holes using a 10mm drill bit; it is recommended to place tape over the drill mark if you are drilling into tiles to prevent any slippage.
2. Once drilled, if fixing to a solid wall and floor, push the wall plug into the hole.
3. Secure the wall bracket to the wall and then position the frame into the required location.
4. Tighten the frame to the wall bracket and tighten the nut and bolt.
5. Secure the foot into position using the screws provided.

Fitting Protective Covers

Before building the wall, and tiling around the frame, the protective covers need to be fitted to the flush plate housing, flush pipe and pan connector and the fixing bars fixed into place.

1. Fit the flush plate fixing bracket (as shown in diagrams), then fit the flush plate fitting box. Please note: The Flush Plate is sold separately.
2. Push on the flush pipe and pan connector covers.
3. Screw the threaded bars into the frame, as shown in diagrams, ensuring these are in the correct hole to match the holes in the toilet, then push on the sleeves.

Water Connection

1. Make the connection between the water supply and the cistern tank, using a suitable sealing method as shown. (Diagram shows Mains Water connecting to a 1/2" male end inlet on the tank).
2. Please note: The cistern has its own built-in stop valve.
3. Once water is connected, you're ready to build the partition wall. Use the guidance below and construct as required, then tile as required. (Diagram shows wall construction with spacing: maintain a space of no less than 3mm between the plug and wall, and between the sheath and the wall).

Installation once wall is constructed

1. Once the wall is constructed and tiled to the required depth, cut the flush plate box to the finished wall surface.
2. Insert the fixing rods into the holes within the frame flush box and twist to secure.
3. Secure the flush plate bracket to the fixing rods and secure using the screws provided.
4. Push the flush rods into the housing as shown.
5. Once the rods are fully inserted, secure into position using the clips shown, then push the rods to ensure free movement is achieved.
6. Attach the flush plate and click into position.
7. Remove the pan connector and flush pipe protective covers.
8. Push the straight pan connector, flush pipe, and remaining parts into the holes in the frame.
9. Mark a line at the finished wall surface.
10. Remove from the frame and connect them to the flush hole and waste spigot on the rear of the toilet pan. Apply a small amount of washing up liquid to assist.
11. Once fully connected, mark the measurements and cut as shown. (Diagram shows pipe cutting with dimensions L2, L, 2, and 2+3mm).
12. IMPORTANT NOTE: "PLEASE CUT PIPE TO LENGTH PRIOR TO INSTALLATION"
13. Prepare the flush pipe and pan connector ends: remove any rough edges and create a small chamfer (45 degrees).

Connecting and Hanging the Toilet

1. Push the pan connector into the frame then push the flush pipe into the toilet.
2. Remove the threaded bar sleeves.
3. Unscrew the threaded bars, so they extend by dimension A (depth of the toilet wall) + 25mm.
4. Please note: You will require two people for this section of the installation.
5. Lift the toilet pan onto the threaded bars.
6. Finally, check that the toilet is level [level-indicator], connect the fixings in the order shown and tighten until the toilet pan is secured.
7. Please note: Once installation is completed, a full commissioning of the product should be carried out to check the installation is safe and stable, check for leaks and check function.

Troubleshooting

Cistern tank not filling at all or to the required level

1. Check the water supply has been turned back on and is reaching the cistern.
2. Adjust the fill level on the cistern as required.
3. The filter on the inlet valve could be blocked.
4. If none of these resolve the issue, replace the inlet valve.

Flush volume into the pan, not sufficient

1. Adjust the flush volume level on the syphon.
2. Check that the syphon is opening correctly.
3. Check that the tubes are connected to the correct inlet on the flush plate.
4. If none of these resolve the issue, replace the syphon.

Water running into the pan continually after flushing

1. Establish if the water level in the cistern is reaching the overflow on the syphon; if it does, adjust the inlet valve.
2. If this continues, replace the inlet valve.
3. If the water level does not reach the overflow on the syphon, remove the top section of the syphon and check the washer for damage.
4. If damaged, replace.

Maintenance

The maintenance measures below require you to gain access to the internals of the cistern tank, and for the water supply to be turned off.

• Once you have gained access, turn the adjustment screw in the required direction to adjust the tank fill volume.
• If you need to replace the inlet valve, disconnect the water supply pipe and remove the retaining nut, which holds the inlet valve to the tank, and pull the inlet valve from the tank.
• To clear the filter, unscrew the filter section from the inlet valve as shown and run under warm water using a brush to clean away any blockage.

• It is recommended to remove the pneumatic tubes from the syphon to carry out maintenance.
• To do this, pull each tube from the inlet on the top of the syphon; do not allow these to drop back into the tank.
• To remove the syphon, you will only need to remove the top section, which requires you to twist and lift.
• To adjust the flush volume, move the slider as shown below.
• To remove the washer, turn the syphon upside down and remove the washer from the housing.
