1. INSTALL TOILET TANK TO BOWL

Turn the tank upside down and rest on protective
padding. Install the tank gasket over the bottom
threads of the flush valve, making sure that the
tank gasket covers the flush valve nut and the
tapered side is toward the bowl.

Lift the tank, right side up and position the tank on
the bowl by centering the gasket and aligning holes
on the bowl. Install tank bolts with included rubber
washers tapered side down, through tank mounting
spacers and bowl. Secure with metal washers and
nuts (see illustration). Tighten bolts alternately enough
to achieve a watertight seal.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

3. INSTALL DUAL FLUSH BUTTON TO TANK

Insert button assembly through top of tank lid.
The buttons should be rotated so the smaller blue
button is aligned with the blue button on the flush
valve.

Securely tighten nut.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN

To ensure both buttons flush correctly, the bottom of
each push rod must be flush with the top surface of
the flush valve cylinder. If rods are not

flush, adjust the length of each rod by
loosening adjustment nut and re-adjust
the push rod. Tighten lock nuts after

4. ADJUSTMENTS AND OPERATIONS OF DUAL FLUSH TOILETS

Make sure the water level is at the marked water line. Test flush the toilet several times to ensure proper
operation. If dual flush valve does not operate properly, improve flush by:

• Verifying the bottom of each push rod is flush with the top surface of the dual flush valve cylinders.

• Adjusting the water level with the fill valve

• Adjusting the flush volume as in the next step

• When replacing the fill valve, check for the correct float cup height as shown in the figure.

To adjust dual flush cartridge assembly (full and
reduced flush):

• Adjust flush volume by moving water ad­justment clip up or down to desired flush as

n Figure “A” and “B” (factory setting at 8”

i
min.)

• For a refined adjustment, move adjustment
clip up or down for desired flush volume
(Fig. C) (factory setting at 3½” Min.)

For maintenance and cleaning:

• Rotate dual flush assembly counter clockwise
(Fig.1) and lift off base (Fig. 2). Reverse this
procedure for re-assembly.
Check valve seat for debris and valve seal

•
for wear.

• If necessary, the flush valve can be removed
by unscrewing the flush valve nut (Fig. 3).

2. INSTALL REFILL TUBE

Incorrect if lower than
water level.

With the valve installed, the critical level mark on the fill valve (identified by a CL mark) should be at
least 1” (25 mm) above the top of the water level. Water temperature should be in the range of 45º F (2º
C). Water supply static pressure range: 20psi-80psi.

DO NOT USE CHLORINE OR ANY CHEMICAL COMPONENT. USE OF SUCH PRODUCTS WILL RESULT IN
TANK DAMAGE, MAY CAUSE FLOODING, PROPERTY DAMAGE AND WILL VOID WARRANTY. DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN NUTS, TANK OR BOWL.

Correct if higher than
water level.

OF SINGLE FLUSH TOILETS

The fill valve is preset at the factory. When
replacing the fill valve check for correct float
cup height (see figure 4) per volume as listed
in the table. It is important that the water
level is adjusted to the waterline indicated on
the overflow tube (Fig. 4).

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. Poor Flush.
A. Adjust the tank water level to the marked water line on overflow tube.
B. Make sure water supply valve is fully open.
C. For dual flush, make sure the push button rods are in place and are activating the dual flush

assembly. Adjust as needed.

2. Tank takes a long time to fill.
A. Make sure water supply valve is fully open.
B. Clean any residue from the inlet valve, in-line filter, dual flush cartridge assembly or supply line. Flush

the lines to clear any debris.

C. Check water pressure supply, operating range is 20-80 PSI.

3. Water level too high or too low.
A. Adjust the float adjustment screw or float cup.

4. Fill valve fails to shut off or fails to fill tank.
A. Verify water supply is on.
B. Filter screen is clogged. Clean filter screen.
C. Verify refill hose is not obstructed or kinked.

5. Noisy tank water refill.
A. Adjust the water supply line if water pressure is to high.
B. Clean any residue from the inlet valve or supply line. Flush the lines to clear any debris.

6. Bowl water continues to flow or tank refill water won’t shut off.
A. Flapper is not seating properly. Adjust chain slack between flapper and flapper valve.
B. Flush handle extension is being restricted. Repair or replace flush handle assembly.
C. Clean area of debris and check for any wearing around the flapper or dual flush valve seat on opening

to allow seal.

D. For dual flush, adjust the push button rods for proper slack, so the fill valve seal is not held off the

flush valve.

7. Handle/dual flush button does not activate plunger.
A. Adjust chain linkage.
B. Check arm for breakage. Replace if necessary.
C. Check push button rods for breakage or adjustment.

8. If the water rises in bowl during the flush and stays there, or drains slowly.
A. Ensure that the chain connected to flapper is adjusted properly. Too much slack will result in the

flapper closing too soon, not enough slack will result in not seating properly and leaking. There should
be enough slack to allow the flapper to seat properly.

B. Check the plumbing system venting. Fill a basin near the location of the toilet and open the drain.

If the water drains quickly with no visible problem, there is no venting problem. If there is a venting
problem the sluggish/poor performance is not a fixture problem.

9. Leaking tanks.
. Check flapper and flapper seat in tank for warping or degradation. Many cleaning chemicals

A

commonly used in tanks contain chlorine that attacks these parts causing warping and

degradation.
B. Check tank for cracks. If cracked the tank must be replaced.
C. Check tank bolts. Rubber washers may be corroded or bolts may be loose. Replace or tighten

s necessary.

a

NOTE:

be careful not to overtighten nuts on tank as this may result in cracking the tank.

D. Check for condensation. Very cold water can generate condensation in high temperature and

humid areas in unlined tanks.

CAUTION:

Do not use in-tank cleaners. Products containing chlorine (calcium hypochlorite) can seriously

damage the fittings in your tank. This damage can cause leakage and property damage.
