BEFORE INSTALLATION
- Read these instructions thoroughly before beginning work.
- Please leave instructions for customers. These instruction contain maintenance and warranty information.
- If necessary, remove the existing toilet.
For your new TOTO toilet to fit correctly, the rough-in, the distance between
the finished wall to the center of the closet flange, must be at least 12 inches
for most models.
NOTE: Models with 10” rough-in have model numbers ending with “.10”, for
example CT746CUFG.10.
Recommended water supply valve location: 5-7/8” (from floor) x 4-3/8” (from center).
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
-
Clean any debris out of the closet flange and then install new mounting bolts (not supplied) into the slots of the closet flange (see Illustration 1). The head of the bolt should be inserted into the slot with its threads facing upward.
-
Carefully turn the toilet upside down onto some padding. Firmly press a new bowl wax ring (not supplied) onto the circular recess around the toilet bowl’s horn (see Ill. 2A). Turn the toilet upright and gently lower into position over the closet flange. With toilet properly aligned, press firmly on both sides of toilet rim to set the bowl wax ring. (see Illustration 2B)
CAUTION: Do not move the bowl after the bowl wax ring is set. Thread the base caps, washers and nuts and tighten evenly until bowl is snug to closet flange. Install the bolt caps (see Illustration 2C). CAUTION: Do not over-tighten the nuts as damage to the china bowl may result.
NOTE: Three Points of Contact: The toilet bowl has three points o contact, which will actually contact the bottom of the toilet tank when properly installed. The location of these points can be seen on the bowl at the tank can be seen on the bowl at the tank receiving area. The three points are front left (1), front right (2), and back center (3). Recall these three points during the Toilet Tank installation. -
Place the tank upside down onto some padding. Inspect the smaller fill valve nut and larger flush valve nut for a secure connection (see Illustration 3). Try to tighten the nuts with your hands. If loose, tighten the nut hand tight and an additional 1/4 turn for the smaller fill valve nut and an additional 1/2 turn for the larger flush valve nut. Place the tank-to-bowl gasket onto the flush valve nut. While pressing down, spread the gasket over the nut until the gasket touches the bottom of the tank. A slight gap between the tank bottom and the gasket is allowable. See illustration 3.
-
Lay the tank down on its back. Place a rubber washer onto a bolt (see Illustration 4). Reach inside the tank and position the bolt through one of the holes in the bottom of the tank. On the outside of the tank, place a metal washer and nut onto the bolt. Hold the bolt centered in the hole and tighten the nut finger tight. Turn the nut an additional 1/2 turn with a wrench. Repeat this process for the remaining hole in the tank.
-
Pick up the tank and carefully guide the bolts to align the tank with the bowl. Attach hand tight nut to each bolt (see illustration 5A). Tighten until tank makes THREE POINTS OF CONTACT with the bowl (see illustration 5B).
-
Flush the water supply line for a few seconds to remove any debris that may enter the new fill valve. (For new home constructions and/or additions, flush the water supply line for more than a minute to help remove any residual PVC adhesives, solder flux, and/ or pipe sealants that were used for the new plumbing.) Connect the water supply line to the fill valve threads as seen at the bottom of toilet tank (see Illustration 6). Tighten this connection finger tight. CAUTION: Avoid using a wrench to tighten the connection as you may damage the plastic threads and/or cause the fill valve to rotate inside the tank.
NOTE: The water supply pressure should be 20 to 80 psi static. -
Flush toilet a few times to check for issues and leaks.
Make sure NO WATER LEAK on bowl and tank. -
Install the toilet tank lid onto the toilet tank top.
-
Install the toilet seat onto the toilet bowl using the mounting hardware in the toilet seat box. Place seat onto bowl and rotate the hinge down. Position seat stoppers under the seat hinge. Insert bolt into seat hinge and through the toilet bowl. Install plastic nut onto bolt from underneath. Tighten the bolt securely. Install the seat bolt caps.
NOTE: Tighten the seat bolt until the hinge is secure.
The seat and lid will have slight side to side movement, which is normal. This freedom of movement allows the seat to SoftClose® without binding.
