3. Install the Tank
Carefully turn the tank upside down onto a protected surface. Fit
the rubber gasket over the flush valve nut so the tapered side of
the gasket faces out.

breakage or chipping of the vitreous china.
Install the bolt gaskets onto the tank bolts, and slide the tank
bolts down through the holes in the tank and bowl.
Assemble the washers and nuts to the tank bolts. Securely tighten
the nuts so the tank is level.
Be sure the nuts are tight enough to achieve a watertight seal.
