IMPORTANT! If the carriage has not been adjusted correctly, the bowl rim height may not be compliant with applicable
codes. If the bowl height is not correct, the finished wall will need to be removed to make the required adjustments.
NOTE: The minimum rim height is 15" (381 mm) when the finished floor is even with the bottom of the carriage legs. The
maximum rim height is 23" (584 mm) when the legs are fully raised. The carriage can be adjusted up to 8" (203 mm), with
6" (152 mm) or less of adjustment sufficient in most installations.
Move the carriage into place in the stud pocket.
Temporarily secure the carriage in place so it will not fall.
Install the threaded rods several turns into the carriage.
Make a mark on the carriage 2-5/8" (67 mm) above the top of the threaded rod.
Measure from the finished floor to the mark (A) to determine the rim height of the bowl.
Loosen the nuts that secure the legs to the carriage.
NOTE: As you lower the carriage, make sure that the elbow aligns with the waste outlet pipe.
NOTE: If applicable, confirm that the gasket on the elbow stays correctly positioned as it enters the waste outlet pipe.
NOTE: If a cast iron elbow is required, make the connections following all applicable codes.
Adjust the carriage until the desired height is reached. Use a wrench to securely tighten the nuts to secure the legs in
place.
