Recommended fitting type for back-to-back installations.
Depending upon your plumbing and venting conditions, the flow from
the Champion in a back-to-back installation may create a vacuum on
the system and draw water from the opposing bowl. The National
Standards Plumbing Code prohibits the use of a cross fitting for
drainage as throw over is possible. The code does approve a
directional "Y" style fitting with proper venting to direct the water
downward and away from the other toilet.
NOTE: BACK-TO-BACK INSTALLATION

INSTALL CLOSET BOLTS

Thank you for selecting Porcher - the benchmark of fine quality. To ensure this product is installed properly, please read these instructions
carefully before you begin. (Certain installations may require professional help.) Also be sure your installation conforms to local codes.

Before continuing, determine the type of water supply connection you have from the chart
below and use the appropriate assembly parts required to properly reconnect the water supply.
DO NOT use plumber's putty to seal these fittings.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE
CONE WASHER WITH
PLASTIC SUPPLY LINE.
These parts must be used as
illustrated to insure water-tight
connection. Use of existing
coupling nut may result in
water leakage. Water supply
tube or pipe must extend at
least 1/2" inside threaded
shank of valve (does not
apply to flanged tubing).
Use existing
coupling nut
and washer.
Use existing spiral cone
washer. Fluidmaster
cone washer may not
seal completely on
spiral type supply line.
Captive cone washers
already included. No
additional washers needed.
CAUTION: Overtightening of
LOCK NUT or COUPLING NUT
could result in breakage and
potential flooding.

If bowl fails to siphon, an
adjustment may be required with
the lift chain. Simply remove the
bead chain from the retainment
clip (see Fig. 9a) and take up
slack on the chain, and reinsert
on lift rod. Make sure the chain
is not too taut.
Adjust water level to level
indicated on tank by adjusting
float cup. Adjust water to
desired level by squeezing
water level adjustment clip and
moving FLOAT CUP up or
down along stainless steel link.

b. Install bolt covers:
1. Make sure that the bolt cover area on the toilet is clean and
dry (see figure). Use a dry piece of cloth or soap and water
if needed.
2. Take plastic bolt cover and peel the brown protective film off
on both ends. The adhesive part is now visible and ready to
be placed on the toilet (see figure).
3. Gently place the bolt cover on the toilet area (see picture) and if
everything is aligned, push bolt cover firmly so it remains in place.
4. If not aligned, you can still take it off and put it back so it is aligned.
5. Repeat Step 3 for second bolt cover which is to be placed on opposite side of the toilet.
6. After 24 hours, the bolt cover adhesive has completely set off and if needed, you can remove/replace
as needed. The dual lock technology is now in place.
c. Smooth off the bead of sealant around base. Remove excess sealant.

• Make sure water supply is off.
Remove valve TOP by lifting
arm and rotating top and arm
1/8 turn counterclockwise,
pressing down slightly on cap.
IMPORTANT: Always clear
sand and rust from system.
• While holding a
container over the
uncapped VALVE to
prevent splashing, turn
water supply on and
off a few times. Leave
water supply off.
• Replace TOP by engaging
lugs and rotating 1/8 turn
clockwise. MAKE CERTAIN
TIP IS TURNED TO THE
LOCKED POSITION. VALVE
MAY NOT TURN ON IF TOP
IS NOT FULLY TURNED TO
THE LOCKED POSITION.
For troubleshooting information please contact:
TROUBLESHOOTING
IF FILL VALVE SHUTS OFF BUT CONTINUES TO
LEAK SLOWLY, repeat Step 13.
IF FILL VALVE TURNS OFF AND ON DURING
PERIODS OF NON-USE, it is a signal you are
wasting water because:
• The end of the refill tube is inserted into overflow
pipe, below water level in tank. Attach refill tube to
overflow pipe using "S" clip provided.
• The flush valve is leaking because it's worn, dirty
or misaligned.
IF FILL VALVE WON'T TURN ON OR SHUT OFF
or REFILL OF TANK WATER IS SLOW after
valve has been in use for some time, Fluidmaster
Model 242 Replacement Seal may be needed.
