TO INSTALL SUPPLY SHUT-OFF VALVE

Install the supply shut-off valve so it is 7-1/4” above the
finished floor line, and 5-1/8” to the left of the closet flange
centerline.

The centerline of the supply shut-off valve outlet should
extend 3-3/8” from the finished wall. Install the supply
shut-off valve with the outlet vertical.

TO INSTALL TOILET

Set the toilet upside down on some padding. Firmly press
the toilet gasket onto the toilet outlet.

NOTE: If you are using a toilet gasket with an integral
plastic sleeve, make sure the gasket is positioned with the
sleeve facing away from the toilet.

If you temporarily plugged the the closet flange with a rag,
remove the rag at this time.

Carefully align and lower the toilet over the closet flange
and T-bolts. Apply full body weight to the toilet rim to set
the seal.

CAUTION: Risk of external leakage: Do not lift or
rock the toilet after placement – a new toilet gasket
must be installed if you break the watertight seal.

T-Bolt

Assemble the bolt cap bases, washers, and nuts on the
exposed T-bolts. Hand tighten the nuts, then tighten them
an additional 1/2-turn.

CAUTION: Risk of personal injury or product
damage: 
Overtightening may cause breakage or
chipping of the vitreous china.

If the T-bolts extend more than 1/4” over the top of the
nuts, cut off the excess and file the end. Wipe away any
residue. Install the bolt caps.
