Before You Start
If Removing An Existing Toilet
-
Turn Off Water Supply
-
Flush to remove water from tank; sponge remaining water from bowl before removing toilet
-
Clean Flange
Caution : If leaving floor flange open for more than 1-2 hours, cover flange to prevent escaping sewer gases.
BACK-TO-BACK INSTALLATION
Depending upon your plumbing and venting conditions, the flow from the toilet in a back-to-back installation may create a vacuum on the system and draw water from the opposing bowl. The National Standards Plumbing Code prohibits the use of a cross fitting for drainage as throw over is possible. The code does approve a directional “Y” style fitting with proper venting to direct the water downward and away from the other toilet.
-
- Press firmly.
-
TIP: Place 2 pieces of masking tape on floor (as shown) to help with alignment in step 4.
-
Apply weight evenly. Do not move after placement. Water tight seal may break.
-
Hand Tighten Only. Do Not Overtighten.
-
Tank-to-Bowl Gasket
Place the tank gasket over the tank nut ensuring there are not gaps between the gasket and the chinaware. -
Thread, then hand tighten water supply.
-
Tighten handles alternately until tank contacts bowl.
HAND TIGHTEN ONLY!
-
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. Do not use any type of sealant on the water supply connection. Use of plumber’s putty, pipe dope, or any other type of sealant will void the warranty.
-
Before continuing, determine the type of water supply connection you have from the chart below and use the appropriate assembly parts required to properly reconnect the water supply. DO NOT use plumber’s putty to seal these fittings.
-
METAL / COPPER FLARED TUBING
**** These parts must be used as illustrated to insure water-tight connection. Use of existing coupling nut may result in water leakage. Water supply tube or pipe must extend at least 1/2″ inside threaded shank of valve (does not apply to flanged tubing). -
METAL FLANGED TUBING
Use existing coupling nut and washer. -
METAL SPIRAL TUBING
Use existing spiral cone washer. Fluidmaster cone washer may not seal completely on spiral type supply line.
-
VINYL / BRAIDED CONNECTOR
Captive cone washers already included. No additional washers needed.
CAUTION : DO NOT USE CONE WASHER WITH PLASTIC SUPPLY LINE.
CAUTION : Overtightening of LOCK NUT or COUPLING NUT could result in breakage and potential flooding. -
With correct washers in place (see Step 10a), tighten COUPLING NUT 1/4 turn beyond hand tight. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
