This toilet has been designed for easy installation. Conventional fittings have been used throughout so that the working parts and operation of this assembly may be easily understood. Local Plumbing and Building Codes should be followed for all installations.

Do not expose plastic trim parts to strong oxidizing agents, chlorine, or acid levels of lower than 5.0 pH. Most bowl/ tile cleaners contain such agents.

Installation Instructions

1. Turn off and disconnect water supply. Unbolt and remove old toilet. Remove old wax ring and clean floor flange area with putty knife.

   Diagram: Illustrates turning off water, removing the old toilet, and cleaning the flange area.

2. Install new wax ring (not included) on the bottom of the toilet (A) making sure not to cover the toilet outlet. (Alternate Method: The wax ring may also be placed onto the floor flange.)

   Diagram: Shows the wax ring being installed on the toilet base or floor flange.

3. Install the new floor mounting bolts (not included) upright in the slots of the floor flange. Place the toilet (A) over the floor flange/ waste line opening by aligning the floor mounting bolts in the toilet floor bolt holes. Press down firmly and twist toilet (A) slightly to compress wax ring and assure a seal between the toilet (A) and floor.

4. Place one floor mounting bolt washer (not included) over each floor mounting bolt and assemble the floor mounting bolt nut to the floor mounting bolt. Tighten floor mounting bolt nut carefully until the floor mounting bolt nut is just snug.

5. Install the ceramic floor bolt cover plates (O) by firmly pressing the ceramic floor bolt cover plates (O) into the recesses in the side wall of the toilet (A). (Six additional strips of hook and loop tape (P) are provided should replacements be needed in the future.)

6. The fill valve coupling nut (H) is provided to connect the water supply line to the fill valve. Do not use pipe dope! Hand tighten only! Overtightening may split the fill valve and will void the warranty.

   Diagram: Shows connecting the coupling nut (H) to the fill valve.

7. If using flexible water supply line (not included), assemble the flexible water supply line to the threads of the tank fill valve. Do not use Teflon tape or pipe dope on the fill valve threads. This could result in over-tightening and breakage.

8. Make sure refill tube adaptor (I) is attached to the top of the flush valve overflow tube. Note: Flow from the refill tube must be positioned directly over the overflow tube.

   Diagram: Shows the refill tube adaptor connected to the overflow tube.

9. IMPORTANT: Always clear sand and rust from system.

   • Remove valve top by lifting arm and rotating top 1/8 turn counterclockwise.
   • While holding a container over the uncapped valve to prevent splashing, turn water supply on and off a few times. Leave water supply off.
   • Replace top by engaging lugs and rotating 1/8 turn clockwise. Make certain top is turned to the locked position. Valve may not turn on if the top is not fully turned to the locked position.

   Diagram: Illustrates disassembling and reassembling the fill valve top.

10. Turn on water supply to the toilet and check for leakage. Inspect connection points of the water supply line to the tank fill valve, water supply line to water supply valve, and around the base of the toilet. Carefully tighten any connections that are leaking.

    Diagram: Shows checking for leaks at various connection points.

11. Adjust water level in tank to marked water line. Turn the water level adjustment screw (J) to move the float cup (K) up or down.
