POSITIONING THE TANK
If there is very little room between the top of the tank and the oor of the building, the order
of the installation can be changed as follows: Firstly, cut the pedestal hole in the oor of the
building (refer Section 9), mark the hole position on the tank when the tank is in position,
but before the tank is secured into the ground. After the tank has been marked, it can be
removed from under the building and then cut the hole in the tank and t the chute collar
before replacing the tank.

Note: If the oor of the building is high above the top
of the tank a chute extension piece/s may be needed.
Extra lengths are available from your supplier. Joints
should be screwed with short self-tapper screws, and
sealed with silicon. If more than 2 chutes are joined
then additional support straps or brackets are needed
to support their weight from the building frame,
instead of hanging only by the top chute.
Using the outside of the toilet chute
as a template, mark and cut the

The hole for the vent pipe is best at the side
of the tank towards the front of the unit near
the inspection door, as far as practical from
the nearest chute entry.
Plan the vent
pipe layout.

Cut hole 121mm in
diameter (as noted on
the wallace seal).

Tip: Putting the wallace seal
in hot water for 5 minutes
can help when installing the
PVC pipe.
4Secure pipe ttings according
to building/roong instructions.
Complexity may vary.
5Mount the fan housing onto
the vent pipe. Position the
fan housing so that it can be
