Packaging
QT Threaded Water Closet Carriers typically ship in two components. (1) Partially assembled Faceplate Assembly and (1) Fitting (L/R or D). The carrier faceplate assembly anchors to the floor and supports the bowl. The carrier fitting attaches to the rear of the faceplate assembly, and connects to the sanitary piping system.
Carrier Installation
- After removing the faceplate assembly from it’s packaging, locate the rough-in dimensions for the fixture outlet centerline from the floor on the bowl manufacturer’s rough-in sheet. All Watts carriers will be preset to 5-1/2″. For low rough-ins, the rounded bottom of the faceplate may need to be removed along the scoring line.
- Attach each carrier upright to a concrete floor with a minimum of one 1/2″ diameter anchor bolt (supplied by others).
- Position the oval fitting gasket between the faceplate and the fitting, with the gasket lip facing back towards the fitting. Making sure the oval gasket is properly seated, loosely attach the faceplate assembly to the carrier fitting through the gasket ears with four 1/2″ flanged hex bolts (supplied).
- Adjust the carrier fitting to the desired height before tightening the fitting to the faceplate. Reference Battery Pitch and Rough-in Requirements to determine the minimum and maximum fitting centerline heights to configure horizontal carrier batteries.

- Secure the rear anchor support rod through the boss on the back of the carrier fitting with two hex nuts and washers (supplied) and adjust the height. Attach the fitting with two hex nuts and washers (supplied) and adjust the height. Attach the anchor foot to a concrete floor using a 1/2″ dia. anchor bolt (supplied by others).
- Thread (4) threaded rods (supplied) into faceplate with a hex nut (supplied) on each rod at the faceplate, left loose to tighten later after adjustment. Thread (4) hex nuts (supplied) onto each rod approximately 1/2″ past finished wall depth. Place (4) washers (supplied) on last as the toilet will mount against these.
- Install threaded nipple with thread sealant (supplied by others) until snug.
- Adjust the carrier mounting studs to extend approximately 2 1/4″(57) beyond the finished wall. Adjust the back-up nuts flush with the finished wall, with the back-up washers outside the wall. When properly positioned, the back-up washers create a 1/16″(2) gap between the back of the bowl and the face of the finished wall.
- After threaded nipple and threaded rods are installed through the wall and system has been properly pressure tested (per industry standards); measure and mark the coupling 5/16″ off th ed wall. Cut the nipple and deburr before installing toilet.
- Remove the adhesive backing from both sides of the bowl gasket. Adhere the gasket to the back of the bowl, centered around the bowl outlet. Install the bowl onto the carrier, making sure the bowl gasket is properly seated against the nipple.
- Install the four chrome cap nuts and plastic washers to secure the bowl.
Note: It is common industry practice for three cap nuts to be fully tightened, and the fourth left hand tight. This reduces potential stress that can cause the bowl to crack under heavy loading.
