Attention
DO NOT USE IN-TANK BOWLCLEANERS.
The use of high concentration of chlorine or chlorine-related products can seriously damage fittings in the tank.
This damage can cause leakage and property damage. Blu shall not be responsible or liable for any tank fitting
failure or damage caused by the use of in-tank bowl cleaners.
Operation (Note to Owner)
You have chosen a Blu product that is superior in quality and craftsmanship. Our toilet flushing systems are the
best in the industry. To ensure that your toilet is performing correctly, always flush the toilet with a full stroke of the
trip lever to activate the flushing cycle. A full stroke will guarantee that you are flushing with the power of a Blu.
Cleaners for Fittings and Accessories
To avoid damaging the surface and working components of the fittings, certain precautions
must be taken in terms of usage and subsequent cleaning as many cleaning agents contain
acids for general cleaning and removing calcium deposits. When caring for your fittings and
accessories, please note the following:
- Only apply cleaners which are expressly intended for the use
- Never use any cleaner containing hydrochloric acid, formic acid or acetic acid on or near the fitting, as they can
cause considerable damage even with just one application
- Do not use cleaners containing phosphoric acid
- Do not use cleaners containing chlorine bleach solutions
- Never mix or combine cleaning agents
- Abrasive cleaners and unsuitable scouring agents such as scouring pads.

Installation Notes
Important! The rough-in must be a minimum of 12” (305mm) or more from the base of the wall or baseboard.
The toilet will not fit correctly if there is less than 12” (305mm) of clear space between the base of the wall or
baseboard and the centerline ofthe outlet. Install or relocate the supply and outlet as necessary to conform to
rough-in dimensions. If a baseboard causes the rough-in to be less than 12” (305mm), it must be cut or removed
to allow space for the toilet. Install this product according to the installation guide. Our products must be installed
by certified professionals only and according to our installation guide as well as federal, provincial / state and local
building codes and regulations.

In order for your new Blu toilet to fit correctly, the distance between the finished wall to the center of the
closet flange must be at least 12 inches. This measurement is called the Rough-In. The water supply must be
approximately 8 inches or 10 inches to the left (facing the bowl) from the center line of the closet flange and
approximately 4-1/2” above the floor.

2. REMOVING EXISTING TOILET (IF NECESSARY)
Turn off water supply. Flush the toilet, remove any remaining water from tank and bowl. Disconnect water
connector. Remove tank and bowl. Remove old wax seal and mounting bolts.
3. INSTALLING TOILET MOUNTING BOLTS
Clean any debris out of the closet flange and then install new mounting bolts (not supplied) into the slots of the
closet flange (see Fig. 1). The head of the bolt should be inserted into the slot with its threads facing upward.
4. TOILET BOWL INSTALLATION
Carefully turn the toilet upside down onto some padding. Firmly press a new bowl wax ring (not supplied) onto
the circular recess around the toilet bowl’s horn (see Fig. 3). Turn the toilet upright and gently lower into position
over the closet flange. With toilet properly aligned, press firmly on both sides of toilet rim to set the bowl wax ring.
Insert the washer and thread nuts onto the bolts and hand tighten. Then tighten the bolts an additional ½ turn.
WARNING: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Overtightening may cause damage to china or plastic parts.

Toilet Tank Fill Valve Instruction
Note: Fill Valve Height has been preset at the factory and DOES NOT require any height adjustment
INSTALLATION
1. Shut off the water supply to the toilet.
2. Flush toilet and remove remaining water from tank with a sponge.
3. Remove the water supply connection at the fill valve.
4. Remove old fill valve and use damp sponge to clean hole in tank.
5. Place new fill valve inside tank hole.
6. Thread mounting nut onto fill valve shank and tighten the nut.
Note: Do not over-tighten. Be sure to install fill valve in a position that does not interfere with the trip lever
operation.
7. Connect water supply to fill valve shank and hand-tighten only.
Note: Do not overtighten. These are plastic parts. Never use pipe dope on any water supply connection.
8. Attach refill tube to fill valve nipple and clip other end of refill tube to the overflow pipe.
9. Turn water supply ON and check for leaks outside the tank.
Note: As water fills the tank, water is also directed into the overflow tube via the refill tube. This additional flow
of water is critical to refilling your toilet’s bowl. Once the water stops filling the tank, some residual drops of
water may drip from the fill valve. This is NORMAL as these drops will subside.
