BACK-TO-BACK INSTALLATION
Recommended fitting type for
back-to-back installations.
Depending upon your plumbing and venting conditions, the flow from the Champion®4MAX in a
back-to-back installation may create a vacuum on the system and draw water from the opposing
bowl. The National Standards Plumbing Code prohibits the use of a cross fitting for drainage as
throw over is possible. The code does approve a directional "Y" style fitting with proper venting to
direct the water downward and away from the other toilet.
Press firmly.

INSTALL TOILET
a. Position toilet squarely to wall and, with a rocking motion,
press bowl down fully on wax ring and flange. Alternately
tighten nuts until toilet is firmly seated on floor.
CAUTION:
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN NUTS
OR BASE MAY BE DAMAGED!
b. Install caps on washers. (If necessary, cut bolt height to
size before installing caps.)
c. Smooth off the bead of sealant around base. Remove
excess sealant.
!
INSTALL TOILET SEAT Install toilet seat in accordance with manufacturer's directions.
If bowl fails to siphon, an
adjustment may be required with
the lift chain. Simply remove the
bead chain from the retainment
clip (see Fig. 9a) and take up
slack on the chain, and reinsert
on lift rod. Make sure the chain
is not too taut.
Before continuing, determine the type of water supply connection you have from
the chart below and use the appropriate assembly parts required to properly
reconnect the water supply. DO NOT use plumber's putty to seal these fittings.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE
CONE WASHER WITH
PLASTIC SUPPLY LINE.
These parts must be used as illustrated
to insure water-tight connection. Use of
existing coupling nut may result in water
leakage. Water supply tube or pipe
must extend at least 1/2" inside
threaded shank of valve (does not apply
to flanged tubing).
Use existing
coupling nut
and washer.
Use existing spiral cone
washer. Fluidmaster cone
washer may not seal
completely on spiral type
supply line.
Captive cone
washers already
included. No
additional
washers needed.
CAUTION: Overtightening of
LOCK NUT or COUPLING

• Make sure water supply is off.
Remove valve TOP by lifting
arm and rotating top and arm
1/8 turn counterclockwise,
pressing down slightly on cap.
IMPORTANT: Always clear
sand and rust from system.
• While holding a
container over the
uncapped VALVE to
prevent splashing, turn
water supply on and
off a few times. Leave
water supply off.
• Replace TOP by engaging
lugs and rotating 1/8 turn
clockwise. MAKE CERTAIN
TIP IS TURNED TO THE
LOCKED POSITION. VALVE
MAY NOT TURN ON IF TOP
IS NOT FULLY TURNED TO
THE LOCKED POSITION.
For troubleshooting information please contact:
TROUBLESHOOTING
IF FILL VALVE SHUTS OFF BUT CONTINUES TO
LEAK SLOWLY, repeat Step 13.
IF FILL VALVE TURNS OFF AND ON DURING
PERIODS OF NON-USE, it is a signal you are
wasting water because:
• The end of the refill tube is inserted into overflow
pipe, below water level in tank. Attach refill tube to
overflow pipe using "S" clip provided.
• The flush valve is leaking because it's worn, dirty
or misaligned.
IF FILL VALVE WON'T TURN ON OR SHUT OFF
or REFILL OF TANK WATER IS SLOW after
valve has been in use for some time, Fluidmaster
Model 242 Replacement Seal may be needed.
