BACK-TO-BACK INSTALLATION
Depending upon your plumbing and venting conditions, the flow from this toilet
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.
Clean flangeFlush to remove water from
tank; sponge remaining
water from bowl before
removing toilet
Recommended fitting type for
back-to-back installations.
CAUTION
If leaving floor flange
open for more than 1-2
hours, cover flange to
prevent escaping sewer
gasses.

not hold the trip lever down
for extended periods of time
as this could allow air to enter
the system which will slightly
degrade performance for
a few flushes.
• Depress trip lever handle all the way (A).
•Adjust screw on the teeter bar (B) so rear
frame (C) touches the frame stop (D).
• Return trip lever handle (A) to rest
position.
• Make sure hook (E) is fully engaged
under tab on valve body (F), if not,
slightly adjust screw to make sure hook
is engaged.v

HOW IT WORKS:
VorMaxfi Flush Technology reinvents conventional toilet flushing to provide
the cleanest flush ever engineered. The patent pending innovative VorMax
flushing system is powered by dual-injection flush valves. This newly
engineered system delivers a powerful stream of water that scours the inside
of the entire bowl surface and a separate burst of water towards the outlet
for superior solid waste removal with just one flush of 1.28 gallons of water.
VorMaxfi flushing technology is independently tested and verified to provide
a flush that’s 2x cleaner than conventional toilets.
