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.
(3) Disconnect the supply line from the tank.
(4) Remove decorative caps. Unscrew nuts that attach the toilet to the floor.
(5) Remove toilet.
(6) If you are replacing the valve shut main water supply first.
(7) Remove the old closet bolts from closet flange. Clean old wax, putty, etc. from base area.
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″).

Step 2: Rough-In the Toilet

Measure the well from behind the toilet to the middle of the closet flange. Your rough-in measurement should be 12″. (see Figure 2)

Step 4: Install Was Ring

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)

Step 5: Place the Toilet onto the Flange

Place the toilet on the flange over the bolts. Remove the floor waste opening plug, and then place washers and nuts onto the bolts. Connect the flexible water supply hose (not included) to the inlet valve, finger-tight, but do not connect it to the water shut-off valve yet. Choose the appropriate 1/2″ or 7/8″ (adapter provided) supply line inlet hole based on the size of your supply line. (see Figure 5)

Step 5: Adjust and Attach the Seat

Attach the seat onto the hinges, once you hear a ‘click’ sound, it means the seat is installed correctly onto the hinges. (If the cover is not properly aligned, adjust it as needed following step 4 to ensure proper alignment).

Toilet Seat Usage

To detach, press the central button until it clicks and lid straight up. To reattach, align the hinge posts with the reference marks on the seat and push down until it clicks.

In the winter season, water inside the product may freeze after long periods of storage and non-usage. Please take precautions to prevent this.
