6.2 Toilet installation
1. To replace an older toilet, turn off water supply to toilet. Remove and
drain water supply line. Remove toilet hold-down bolts/screws. Remove
toilet from oor. Remove and discard old oor ange seal and hold-down
bolts. Verify center of oor ange is at least the recommended rough-in
distance from back wall (g.
2
A) for your toilet model (see Rough-in
dimensions chart). Make sure top surface of oor ange is clean and free
of any debris or sealant.
2. If installing a new oor ange, make certain that toilet mounting holes are
located at the correct angle (g.
2
D). Floor ange must be secured to
oor with a minimum of four screws (8 are preferred). Insert two supplied
T-bolts into slots in oor ange (g.
3
).
3. Verify that oor ange seal is installed on base of toilet (g.
4
A).
Carefully set toilet over oor ange. Align holes in toilet base with T-bolts
as toilet is lowered onto oor ange. Toilet must be aligned so that outlet of
base ts inside of oor ange outlet hole.
Note
Entire toilet base does not rest completely on oor yet. Floor seal
must be compressed in following steps.
4. Install oor mounting nuts and washers onto T-bolts. Carefully torque nuts
to 30-40 inch-pounds. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Alternate between sides
when tightening to prevent distortion of base. When tight, base should be
securely attached and at against oor. Attach bolt covers onto nuts.
