Use and Care Manual

6.2 Toilet installation
1. To replace an older toilet, turn off water supply to toilet. Remove and
drain water supply line. Remove toilet hold-down bolts/screws. Remove
toilet from oor. Remove and discard old oor ange seal and hold-down
bolts. Verify center of oor ange is at least the recommended rough-in
distance from back wall (g.
2
A) for your toilet model (see Rough-in
dimensions chart). Make sure top surface of oor ange is clean and free
of any debris or sealant.
2. If installing a new oor ange, make certain that toilet mounting holes are
located at the correct angle (g.
2
D). Floor ange must be secured to
oor with a minimum of four screws (8 are preferred). Insert two supplied
T-bolts into slots in oor ange (g.
3
).
3. Verify that oor ange seal is installed on base of toilet (g.
4
A).
Carefully set toilet over oor ange. Align holes in toilet base with T-bolts
as toilet is lowered onto oor ange. Toilet must be aligned so that outlet of
base ts inside of oor ange outlet hole.
Note
Entire toilet base does not rest completely on oor yet. Floor seal
must be compressed in following steps.
4. Install oor mounting nuts and washers onto T-bolts. Carefully torque nuts
to 30-40 inch-pounds. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Alternate between sides
when tightening to prevent distortion of base. When tight, base should be
securely attached and at against oor. Attach bolt covers onto nuts.

5. If toilet is being installed in a shower stall, apply a bead of caulk around
base of toilet to prevent water seepage under base.
6. Connect water supply line and torque connection to 30-40 inch-pounds.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. (Fig.

C)
7. Turn on water supply line. Flush toilet several times and check for leaks.
