Industry Standard
Water Closet Carriers typically ship in two components. The
carrier faceplate assembly anchors to the floor and supports the bowl. The carrier
fitting attaches to the rear of the faceplate assembly, and connects to the sanitary
piping system.
All Watts faceplates are shipped pre-assembled. 500 lb., 750 lb., and Floor Mounted
Back Outlet faceplates ship boxed. 1000 lb. IS-FP-1-1000 faceplates and carrier
fittings ship loose.

1.) Locate the rough-in dimension for the fixture outlet centerline from the floor on
the bowl manufacturer’s rough-in sheet. Uprights are scored with incremental height
markings to reference the nipple centerline. Adjust the uprights to match the carrier
nipple centerline to the bowl outlet centerline by loosening the side hex bolts. Note
for low rough-ins, the rounded bottom of the faceplate may need to be removed
along the scored lines.
2.) Attach each carrier upright to a concrete floor with a minimum of one 1/2" dia.
anchor bolt. (supplied by others).
3.) Position the oval fitting gasket between the faceplate and the fitting, with the
gasket lip facing back towards the fitting. Making sure the oval gasket is properly
seated, loosely attach the faceplate assembly to the carrier fitting through the gasket
ears with four 1/2" flanged hex bolts and washers (supplied).
Note: When the carrier fitting is set in a high position the flanged fitting bolts
may conflict with the compression seal boss. If this occurs, replace the two
lower flanged fitting bolts with 1/2" Allen Head bolts and clipped washers
(supplied).
