Pre-Installation Information
Barrier-free and ADA compliant - standard height mounting
The SS-3/BIR/STD Express® Lavatory System must have a rim height of 34" above finished
floor to be compliant with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). When mounted at 34" rim
height, the Express® meets ADA, ANSI and UFAS requirements for barrier-free clearances,
reaches and controls. Always check local codes and ordinances for compliance.
Barrier-free and ADA compliant - juvenile height mounting
The SS-3/BIR/JUV Express® Lavatory System is compliant with Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA) Accessibility Guidelines for Buildings and Facilities: Building Elements Designed for
Children's Use; Final Rule.
Infrared sensor and battery box
Each sprayhead is controlled by a separate sensor and and single-operation control box, enabling
each user to activate a single flow of water. Each valve uses less than half the maximum of hot
water allowed by the ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA 90.1-1989-Standard.
Supplies required for installation:
• (8) 3/8" wall anchors, bolts and washers to mount frame and bowl to wall
(minimum pull-out rating of 1,000 lbs.)
• 1/2" NPT tempered supply piping
• 1-1/2" NPT drain piping
• (18) “AA” alkaline batteries
• (1) 1/4" wall anchor, bolt and washer to mount center battery box to wall

Step 2: Mount frame to wall
1. Using a T25 bit, remove the ten
Torx-head screws securing the panel
to the frame and remove the panel
(see Figure 3).
NOTE: The scuff panel does not need to
be removed.
2. Attach the battery box bracket to the
frame at two places using the #10-24
screw and washer provided (see
Figure 4). Attach the center battery
box bracket to the wall at the 1/4"
wall anchor with a suitable 1/4" bolt
and washer (anchor and hardware
provided by installer).
IMPORTANT: Anchoring the frame to a wall that is not flat may cause the
frame to bend. If necessary, install shims to compensate for wall distortion.
3. Position the frame against the wall, ensuring that it is level and flat against the wall. If the
wall is not flat, insert shims behind the frame to ensure that it will not bend when anchored.
NOTE: If a single tempered supply line is to be used, the supply line and valve parts should be
connected at this time. Refer to the installation instructions and Figure 7b found on page 10.
4. Once you have positioned the frame such that it is level and flat against the wall or shimmed,
use eight 3/8" bolts and washers (supplied by installer) to mount the frame to the wall
anchors (see Figure 4).

Step 3: Install bowl assembly
IMPORTANT: Moving and positioning the bowl will require more than one person.
NOTE: Refer to Figure 5 below when installing the bowl assembly.
NOTE: The tailpiece on the waste tee has been rotated upward for shipping purposes. Turn the
tailipece down to its proper position before installing the bowl.
1. With someone to assist you, rest the back of the bowl/sprayhead assembly onto the front of
the frame. Remove the battery boxes from the bowl basin and place them into the battery box
brackets mounted to the frame (see Figure 4 on page 7 for correct positioning of the battery
boxes).
2. Position the bowl/sprayhead assembly onto the frame so that the back of the bowl/sprayhead
is flush to the wall.
3. Attach the front of the bowl assembly to the frame using the four 1/4"-20 pan-head screws
and washers provided. Do not tighten screws at this time.

Step 3: Install bowl assembly (continued)
4. Remove the battery boxes from the bracket. Remove the four phillips head screws from the
operation box cover (see Figure 6a). Install six "AA" alkaline batteries (not included) into
each battery box and reattach the cover. Wait for five seconds before testing the unit (this will
allow sensors to adapt to site conditions).
5. HOT/COLD VERNATHERM™ OPTION ONLY: Attach the 1/2" cross to the
Vernatherm™ assembly using a thread sealer (see Figure 4 on page 7).
6. Attach the male end of the 1/2" flexible hose to the 1/2" cross using a thread sealer. Attach
the female end of the 1/2" flexible hose to the battery box using the fiber washer attached to
the hose (see Figure 4 on page 7).
7. Attach the 1/4" supply tubes from the sprayhead to the battery box’s 1/4" connector fitting.
Make sure the black color supply tube goes to the left side battery box, the green tube goes
to the center box and the red tube goes to the right side box (see Figure 4 on page 7).
IMPORTANT: When bolting the bowl assembly to the frame and wall, do not
overtighten the bolts. Overtightening bolts can damage the Terreon® material.
8. After the bowl assembly is attached to the frame, use two 3/8" bolts and washers (supplied
by the installer) to bolt the bowl to the wall anchors.
9. Tighten the screws installed to secure the bowl assembly to the frame. Do not overtighten.

Installation Instructions continued . . .
Step 4: Connecting supply and drain
1. FOR HOT AND COLD SUPPLY: Using a thread sealer, thread the stop/strainer check valve
onto the hot and cold wall stub-outs. (see Figure 7a). Using the thread sealer, attach the male
end of the 1/2" flexible hose to the Vernatherm™ valve (one hose on the hot side, the other
hose on the cold side) (see Figure 7a). Attach the female swivel end to the stop/strainer check
valve (located on the wall stub-out) using the fiber washer attached to the hose.
NOTE: The red marking on Vernatherm™ Mixing Valve indicates hot water supply inlet.
FOR SINGLE TEMPERED SUPPLY: Using a thread sealer, thread the 1/2" nipple and 1/2" cross
into the stop/strainer check valve. Using the same thread sealer, thread the 1/2" elbow to the
other end of the stop/strainer check valve and then thread the elbow to the 1/2" stub-out from
the wall (see Figure 7b).
2. Install the drain plug in the hole in the bottom of the bowl (see Figure 8).
3. Beneath the bowl, install the 1/4" rubber washer onto the drain plug, and thread the tailpiece
to the drain plug.
4. Assemble the P-trap by connecting the 1-1/2" tubular pipe to the tailpiece and to the 1-1/2"
drain pipe stubbed out of the wall.
5. Install the strainer on the drain plug opening inside the bowl, and push the strainer firmly
into place. Secure the strainer to the drain with the screw provided.
