INSTALLATION
Prepare Base for Rota-Loo Maxi 2000
•
The Maxi must be placed on a level, hard dry foundation. If you don’t wish to pour concrete,
paving slabs on 100mm of compacted sand are quite adequate. In damp areas it is advisable to
put a vapour barrier (black builder’s plastic) between the sand and concrete or slabs. In addition
to this, insulation is required between the Maxi and the floor; this can be
Masonite, builders plywood or cement sheeting. The pallet on which the Rota-Loo is
delivered may serve as part of the base and insulation for the installation.
• Take the door off and remove all the bins from the Maxi and set them aside.
Position Chamber and Pedestals
1. Mark the holes in the floor of the toilet cubicle. The Maxi is normally fitted with two pedestals. These
are located over diagonally opposite chambers at between 1200mm and 1400 mm centres, with a
recommended centre distance of 1350mm.
• The Pedestals must be directly above the Rota-Loo and the waste chutes must be vertical
•
Ensure that the waste chute hole positions are clear of floor joists and do not impact the structural
integrity of the floor.
• Place the pedestal in position and check that with the waste chute centre lined up, there is
adequate clearance of the pedestal to walls.
2.
Drill a small hole in the centre of the marked chute hole, position the Maxi under the floor and check
with a plumb bob that the hole centre aligns with the eventual centre of the chute on the top of the
Rota-Loo. Also check before you cut the holes that you don’t have to shift or trim the floor joists.
3.
When the location of the waste chute centres are confirmed, cut a hole in the floor to allow the waste
chute to fit through (260mm diameter)
Fit Waste Chutes to Rota-Loo Chamber
•
Using the centre point determined by the plumb bob, or by inserting the waste chute through the floor,
locate the Waste Chute Flange in position on the Maxi RL2000 lid
directly under the chute
•
Scribe the size of the internal hole in the Waste Chute Flange
Reminder Notes:
Be careful not to install a toilet light directly above the pedestal.
The floor joists will need to be clear of the waste chute and provision should be made to secure the
waste chute to the floor joists or another part of the building structure.
Don’t cut out the Waste Chute hole in the floor
until you are sure you have everything lined up
in case you need to adjust the position.
