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.

place 6" (152mm) apart and

parallel to wall.

a. Position toilet squarely to wall and, with a rocking motion, press bowl

down fully on wax ring and flange.

Alternately tighten nuts until toilet is firmly seated on floor.

CAUTION: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN NUTS OR

BASE MAY BE DAMAGED!

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.

INSTALL TOILET

IF FILL VALVE SHUTS OFF BUT CONTINUES TO

LEAK SLOWLY, repeat Step 12.

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

with tank ball or flapper (replace with a new flapper).
