REMOVING YOUR OLD TOILET
1. Turn off the water supply, then flush to empty tank. Use a sponge & basin to pick up
any water left in the tank or bowl.
2. Disconnect the supply line from the toilet tank.
3. Disassemble tank from bowl by removing lock nuts from the
underside of the tank.
4. Pry off the bolt caps, remove nuts that secure the toilet to the
floor. Use a rocking motion to remove the old toilet.
5. Scrape the old wax gasket from the floor flange.
1. If this is a new bathroom, install a 3/8" I.P.S. water supply
and shut-off valve. (Refer to the rough-in drawing).
2. Before installing new wax gasket, TEMPORARILY in-
stall flange T-bolts, set toilet, and place discs and nuts
onto bolts. Mark bolt length needed for bolt cap clear-
ance. Remove toilet and pre-cut the bolts to length.
3. Carefully turn the toilet bowl
upside down onto a thick layer
of newspaper to protect the finish. Place a new wax gasket
on toilet outlet. A bead of setting compound may be applied
to the base if desired.
4. Install two flange T-bolts in the floor flange.
1. Carefully lower toilet so the T-bolts will protrude through holes
in base. (May require help to align).
2. Apply full body weight to rim of bowl for proper gasket seal.
3. Place discs (bevel side up) and nuts onto T-bolts and tighten nut.
Press bolt caps onto discs.
CAUTION: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN as breaking or chipping of
china may result.
