Before You Begin
Observe all local plumbing and building codes.
Prior to installation, unpack the new lavatory and inspect it for
damage. Return the lavatory to its protective carton until you are
ready to install it.
These instructions are for installing the lavatory to wood frame
construction. For other installations, supply suitable bracing and
fastening devices of sufficient size and strength.
The walls and floor must be square, plumb, and level.
Fixture dimensions are nominal and conform to tolerances in
ASME Standard A112.19.2M.

1. Preparation
Install the water supplies and drain piping according to the
roughing-in information. Install the supply stops so the handles
will not touch the pedestal when fully open.
Install sufficient backing behind the finished wall to provide a
secure material for the anchoring devices.
Apply six self-adhesive gaskets (provided) to the top edge of the
pedestal as shown.
Mark the centerline on the floor.
Refer to the roughing-in information, and position the pedestal on
the floor centerline location at the required distance from the
finished wall.
Carefully lift the lavatory into place on the pedestal, and slowly
move the pedestal as required to ensure proper fit in the desired
location.
NOTE: The lavatory must be supported by the pedestal.
Level the lavatory, and add additional self-adhesive gaskets as
needed to level.

2. Install the Lavatory
Drill 1/4” mounting holes at the marked locations on the finished
wall and the floor.
NOTE: You can also use other fastening devices of sufficient size
and strength.
Install the hanger bolts to the backing material so they extend
3/4” (1.9cm) beyond the finished wall.
Install the faucet and drain to the lavatory according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not overtighten the
wood screw. Overtightening may damage the product.
Move the pedestal over the drilled hole in the floor, and secure
the pedestal to the floor by carefully tightening the wood screw
and washer.
Carefully set the lavatory on the pedestal so the hanger bolts
extend through the lavatory anchoring holes.
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not overtighten the cap
nuts. Overtightening may damage the product.
Install the cap nuts and washers to the hanger bolts. Level the
lavatory, and carefully tighten the cap nuts until snug.
