Before You Start:

If Removing An Existing Toilet

Turn Off Water Supply

Flush to remove water from tank; sponge remaining water from bowl before removing toilet.

Clean Flange

Caution: If leaving floor flange open for more than 1-2 hours, cover flange to prevent escaping sewer gases.

BACK-TO-BACK INSTALLATION

Recommended fitting type for back-to-back installations.

Depending upon your plumbing and venting conditions, the flow from the toilet 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.

WARNING: Overtightening of water supply line nuts could result in breakage and potential flooding. If the connection leaks after hand tightening, replace the supply line. Do not use any type of sealant on the water supply connection. Use of plumber's putty, pipe dope, or any other type of sealant will void the warranty.

WARNING: Do not use plumber's putty, pipe dope, or any other sealant on the water supply connection to this tank. If the connection leaks after hand tightening, replace the supply line. If the connection continues to leak with the new supply line, replace the fill valve. Warranty is void if any type of sealant is used on the water supply connection.

Water Level Adjustment Knob

Adjust water level to level indicated on tank by turning water level adjustment knob to move float cup up or down.

Prime the system by flushing the product 5 times before use to achieve optimal performance.

PROPER FLUSHING METHOD:

Be sure to fully depress the trip lever on each flush. Do not hold the trip lever down for extended periods of time as this could allow air to enter the system which will slightly degrade performance for a few flushes.

VERIFY ADJUSTABLE SCREW SETUP

1. Depress trip lever handle all the way (A).
2. Adjust screw on the teeter bar (B) so rear frame (C) touches the frame stop (D).
3. Return trip lever handle (A) to rest position.
4. Make sure hook (E) is fully engaged under tab on valve body (F), if not, slightly adjust screw to make sure hook is engaged.

• IMPORTANT: American Standard does not recommend that the tank components be switched out with anything other than the furnished specified components as the performance could be affected. Any alterations made using anything other than the specified components could negatively impact the flush performance and will void the warranty.
