Turn Off Water Supply
Flush to remove
water from tank;
sponge remaining
water from
bowl before
removing toilet.
Clean Flange
!Caution: If leaving floor flange
open for more than 1-2 hours,
cover flange to prevent escaping
sewer gases.
BACK-TO-BACK INSTALLATION
Recommended fitting type for
back-to-back installations.
Depending upon your plumbing and venting conditions, the flow from the 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.

potential flooding. If the connection leaks
after hand tightening, replace the supply
line. Do not use any type of sealant on the
water supply connection. Use of plumber’s

sealant will void the warranty.
Place tank washers and nut
over tank bolts. Tighten
handles alternately until the
tank contacts the front and
back of the bowl achieving
china-to-china contact.
Before continuing, determine the type of water supply connecation 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.

When cleaning your toilet, wash it with mild, soapy water, rinse thoroughly with clear water and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid detergents,
disinfectants, or cleaning products in aerosol cans. NEVER use abrasive scouring powders or abrasive pads on your toilet seat. Some
