INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Model 2073 FloWise™ Normal Height Elongated High Efficiency Toilet

a. Close toilet supply valve and flush tank completely. Towel or sponge remaining water from tank and bowl. b. Disconnect and remove supply line. NOTE: If replacing valve, first shut off main water supply! c. Remove old mounting hardware, remove toilet and plug floor waste opening to prevent escaping sewer gases. d. Remove closet bolts from flange and clean away old wax, putty, etc. from base area. NOTE: Mounting surface must be clean and level before new toilet is installed!

REMOVE OLD TOILET

Recommended fitting type for back-to-back installations.

Depending upon your plumbing and venting conditions, the flow

from the FloWise 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.

POSITION TOILET ON FLANGE

a. Unplug floor waste opening and install toilet on closet flange so bolts project through mounting holes. b. Loosely install retainer washers and nuts. Side of washers marked "THIS SIDE UP" must face up!

INSTALL TOILET

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 caps on washers. (If necessary, cut bolt height to size before installing caps.) c. Smooth off the bead of sealant around base. Remove excess sealant.

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.

CAUTION: Overtightening of LOCK NUT or COUPLING NUT could result in breakage and potential flooding.

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.
