3. Place the toilet over the holes in the floor. Slip the plastic 

china protectors over the lag screws ensuring proper 

orientation. Tighten lag screws (do not overtighten) and snap 

plastic caps in place.
For proper flushing performance, ensure that the base of the 

toilet is not below the base of the macerator. Check the 

extension pipe, if applicable, with a level, and verify that the 

pipe is either level or sloped toward the macerator unit and 

away from the toilet.

4. Connect the water supply line to the fill valve, located directly 

below the flush lever, on the bottom of the toilet tank.

 Connection to the Discharge and Vent Flanges

To finish the installation, fasten the toilet to the floor and secure 

the macerator discharge and vent piping.

Do not use an air admittance valve or a mechanical 

spring-loaded venting device, as these devices are one-way 

valves. The air pressure in and outside the macerating pump 

unit must be equal and a “cheater” vent will obstruct the 

airflow in one direction and prevent proper toilet function.

 Discharge Flange 

The macerator has a PVC discharge flange with an integrated 

check valve that can be configured in a horizontal or vertical 

orientation. Standard 1” Schedule 40 PVC pipe can be solvent 

welded directly to the flange.
Excessive amounts of glue should be avoided. The check valve can 

be removed from the flange if required.
A full port ball or gate valve and a union should be installed in the 

discharge pipe to facilitate the removal of the macerator or to 

perform maintenance. Additionally, a drain off point is 

recommended to allow the discharge piping to be drained.

 Vent Flange 

The macerator is equipped with a PVC vent flange, which can be 

configured in a horizontal or vertical orientation. Standard 1-1/2” 

Schedule 40 PVC pipe can be solvent welded directly into the 

flange.
The macerator 

must

 be vented to allow for proper toilet flush 

performance. Depending on the installation, the product should 

either be connected to the stack vent of the dwelling or vented 

(plumbed) directly outside. Vent in accordance with applicable 

plumbing codes.
The macerator is not designed to support the discharge and vent 

piping; proper pipe supports are required.

 Connection to the Soil-stack or Sewer

The discharge piping can be made from 3/4” or 1” diameter PVC 

pipe. Use long turn bends and avoid elbows where possible. The 

connection to the soil-stack or sewer pipe must be made with an 

approved connection, such as a T or Y fitting.

Operation

 

 

Decorative covers must be installed for operation as a safety 

device is integrated into the covers to prevent unintended 

operation. The unit may start when energized the first time.

 

The macerating system is designed for human waste and 

toilet paper. Do not dispose of acids, alkalis, solvents, oils, 

paint, paint strippers, food waste, and cotton swabs. 

Off-the-shelf toilet cleansers will normally not hurt the 

macerating unit.

During cleaning or when using a plunger, the macerator 

could turn on.

Do not hang bleach blocks or hypochlorite cleaners in the 

toilet tank. These solutions have been shown to deteriorate 

the plastic and neoprene components of the flush and fill 

valves, and may cause leaks.

In the event of a power loss, the toilet can be used twice. Use 

of sanitary fixtures such as a sink should be limited. Do not 

use shower or tub as the macerating unit will fail to pump 

until the power is restored.

1. Ensure that the toilet and tank have been assembled per 

instructions provided with the toilet tank.

2. Ensure any full port ball or gate valve in the discharge line is 

in the open (full flow) position.

3. Open the shut-off valve and let the toilet tank completely fill. 

Look for leaks at connections and verify that the toilet fill 

valve float and the flush valve operate freely.

4. Ensure the macerating unit has both decorative covers 

installed and is plugged in with the power supply turned on. 

The green POWER LED should be illuminated steady.
a. If the green LED is blinking, confirm the decorative covers 

are properly seated.

5.

Battery:

 Battery must be 

installed 

after

 the 

macerator is connected to 

the AC power supply.
If battery was 

inadvertently installed 

before power was applied:
a. unplug the macerator 

from power source

b. remove the 9V battery
c. plug the macerator 

back into the power 

source

d. reinstall the 9V battery

6. Deposit a few sheets of toilet paper into the bowl and flush 

the toilet. There should be no paper remaining in the bowl 

after the flush. Repeat several times.

The unit will turn on shortly after the toilet is flushed or when 

water depth is achieved. The duration of operation will differ 

depending upon the installation. The macerator may not run 

immediately on sink usage.
