Before You Begin

Observe all local plumbing and building codes.
Prior to installation, unpack the new lavatory and inspect it for

damage. Return the lavatory to its protective carton until you are
ready to install it.

These instructions are for installing the lavatory to wood frame
construction. For other installations, supply suitable bracing and
fastening devices of sufficient size and strength.

The walls and floor must be square, plumb, and level.

Finished Floor

1. Preparation

Install the water supplies and drain piping according to the
roughing-in information. Install the supply stops so the handles
will not touch the pedestal when fully open.

Install sufficient backing behind the finished wall to provide a
secure material for the anchoring devices.

Mark the centerline on the floor.
Refer to the roughing-in information, and position the pedestal on

the floor centerline location at the required distance from the
finished wall.

Carefully lift the lavatory into place on the pedestal, and slowly
move the pedestal as required to ensure proper fit in the desired
location.

NOTE: The lavatory must be supported by the pedestal.

Level the lavatory, and add additional self-adhesive gaskets as
needed to level.

Pedestal and Lavatory Placement

2. Install the Lavatory

Drill 1/4″ mounting holes at the marked locations on the finished
wall and the floor.

NOTE: You can also use other fastening devices of sufficient size
and strength.

Install the hanger bolts to the backing material so they extend 1″
(2.5 cm) between the cap nut and the finished wall.

Install the faucet and drain to the lavatory according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.

Move the pedestal over the drilled hole in the floor, and secure
the pedestal to the floor by carefully tightening the wood screw
and washer.

Carefully set the lavatory on the pedestal so the hanger bolts
extend through the lavatory anchoring holes.

CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not overtighten the cap
nuts. Overtightening may damage the product.

Install the cap nuts and washers to the hanger bolts. Check the
level of the lavatory, and carefully tighten the cap nuts until snug.

Connect and tighten the trap to the drain, and complete the water
supply connections to the faucet according to the instructions
packed with the faucet.
