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.

Place tank washers and nut 

over tank bolts. Tighten 

handles alternately until the 

tank contacts the front and 

back of the bowl achieving 

china-to-china contact.

Before continuing, determine the type of water supply connecation 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.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE 

CONE WASHER WITH 

PLASTIC SUPPLY LINE.

CAUTION: Overtightening of 

LOCK NUT or COUPLING NUT

NOTE:  To ease installation, push down on 
the top of the tank while tightening handles.
