Champion®4

Model 2004 Normal Height Elongated One Piece Toilet
Model 2034 Right Height™ Elongated One Piece Toilet

Thank you for selecting American Standard - the benchmark of fine quality for over 100 years. 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.

!

CAUTION: PRODUCT IS FRAGILE. TO AVOID BREAKAGE AND POSSIBLE INJURY HANDLE WITH CARE!

NOTE: Pictures may not exactly define contour of china and components.

NOTE: BACK-TO-BACK INSTALLATION

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.
