INSTALLATION

Positioning of the Drain
Socket Flange
1. Remove the old toilet and the old wax ring with the putty knife.
2. Clean the closet flange thoroughly so there is no leftover residue.
3. Dry fit the drain socket flange (using the existing bolts in the closet flange)
and position it so it is straight.
NOTE:
Do not install the new wax ring in this step.
4. Mark the position of the pilot holes for the drain socket mounting screws
at the rear of the drain socket flange. (You will mark 4 holes in total.)
(See
Illustration A
)
5. Remove the drain socket flange and drill the 4 pilot holes. Insert the
anchors into the pilot holes.
NOTE:
The existing closet flange may be used in this new toilet installation,
or you may purchase and install a new closet flange.
6. Fit the drain socket over the closet flange, using the existing bolts,
or you may purchase new bolts.
NOTE:
The center of thedrain socket flange must be aligned with the
center of the closet flange. (Clogging may occur if the drain socket
is attached off center.)
7. Secure the drain socket with the washers and mounting screws.
8. Dry fit the toilet.
9. Use tape to mark the edge of the toilet skirt directly below the mounting
holes on each side of the toilet (these marks will be used to measure the
placement of the L-mount brackets).
10. Also mark the center edge of the front of the skirt with tape (this mark
will be used for placement of the toilet later in the installation).
11. Remove the toilet.
