Falcon Flax Installation Manual

CARRIER STUD PLACEMENT If using

in-wall carrier, set bearing rods as
shown above.

SET DRAIN LINE HEIGHT 17” from
finished floor (standard 24” rim) or 10” for
ADA installation. Threaded nipple should
extend ½ to ¾” from wall.

A. Clean face of existing wall flange.
B. Install the brass flange with the

clear inspection disc.

C. Slowly pour water into the drain.
D. Use a flashlight to check the pitch/

slope. No water should be present in
the inspection disc or nipple.

E. Remove flange after inspection.

DRILL HOLES with ⁵/₁₆" masonry

bit for the lower anchor screws
and insert plastic anchors.

TIGHTEN COMPRESSION
NUT AND GEAR CLAMP.

DETERMINE THE DRAIN NIPPLE DEPTH

by measuring the distance between the
back of the sanitary tee (or elbow) to
the front edge of the nipple.

MEASURE & MARK THE ROUGH-IN if
in-wall carrier is not used. Use a ⁵/₁₆"
masonry bit to drill hole, then install
the hanger bracket with one plastic
anchor and screw.

• Check rough-in height to achieve 24”
rim height (17” rim height for ADA).

• Check slope. Downhill slope, per code,
is essential because waterfree urinals
require gravity flow for drainage.

• Check DWV material. Suitable materia ls
include cast iron, PVC, ABS, and
galvanized steel.

• Never install on copper DWV due to

copper’s susceptibility to corrosion.

• Measure drain nipple depth (in inches)

to find trim length (in inches)

ADJUST DRAIN TO ACHIEVE PITCH

only if standing water is present
(code requires ¼” drop per foot of
drain line for proper pitch). Seal wall
according to code.

A. Hang the bowl on the bracket and check tail

pipe alignment, then remove the bowl and
adjust the bracket as needed.

Re-hang and re-check bowl alignment with

the drain line. Tail pipe shou ld align wi th center
of drain line.

CAUTION After removing any urinal from the

drain line, it’s normal for certain naturally occurring
but potentially hazardous sewer gases to escape
through the opening until the waterless cartridge
is installed properly into the waterless urinal. If you

need to leave an open drain line unattended after
removing the urinal from the wall, temporarily wedge paper towels or a
rag into the drain hole to reduce any outflow of sewer gases, and remove
the paper towels or rag prior to completing the urinal or cartridge
installation. Never smoke, have an open flame, or place your nose or

mouth near open drain lines or waterless urinal housings into which
a cartridge is not yet properly installed. You also can wear a breathing

mask when removing or installing any waterless urinal or cartridge to
reduce potential exposure to any such gases.
