Toilet Installation Instructions
Step 1 (optional): Remove the Old Toilet

(1) Turn off the water supply. Make sure the water supply valve is shut off before operation.

(2) Flush the Toilet to empty the tank. Remove any water left in the tank or bowl.

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING WATER SUPPLY: Before installation ensure that the water supply valve is located more than 8″ from the center of the drain to the center of the water supply valve on either side (see Figure 1).

NOTE: This is a true 12″ rough-in toilet from finished well to center of the drain (no less than 12″).

Invert the toilet on the floor (use a cushion to prevent damage), evenly install the was ring around the waste flange with the tapered end of the ring facing the floor, align the toilet with the waste hole, and, with a rocking motion press the bowl down fully on the was ring and flange. Apply a thin bead of sealant around the toilet base. (see Figure 4)
