Tools and Materials
Before You Begin

installed, making the toilet heavy and awkward, two people
should move the toilet into place.
IMPORTANT! This product should be installed by an experienced
installer.
IMPORTANT! Two people are required to lift this toilet into place,
as the tank must be installed prior to moving the toilet into the final

installation measures may need to be taken if there is a floor flange
in place, including removing the floor flange or grinding it to allow
for proper fit.

to a waste outlet constructed from PVC.
This toilet does not install to a typical flange. It is designed to
