Frequently Asked Questions - Town Square S 2851A105 American Standard

How to install the Town Square S toilet?

Follow steps 1 to 7 in the manual: remove old toilet, measure connection points, install bolts, wax ring, place toilet on flange, tighten nuts, and install bolt caps. Do not overtighten nuts to avoid damaging the base.

How to adjust the water level in the tank?

Open water supply, submerge the float under water for 30 seconds, then turn the water level adjustment rod to raise or lower the float until the level matches the mark on the tank (step 10).

What to do if the toilet does not flush?

First check water supply (open?), then supply line (unclogged?), lift chain (taut?), and flow regulator (clean?). Consult the troubleshooting guide for each case.

How to clean the toilet and seat?

Wash with water and mild soap, rinse thoroughly, and wipe with a soft cloth. Avoid detergents, disinfectants, abrasive powders, and pads. Never use cleaners containing chlorine in the tank.

What type of wax ring to use?

Use a standard wax ring/gasket. Install it evenly around the drain flange, narrow side toward the toilet (step 4). Apply a thin bead of sealant around the base.

How to remove the old toilet?

Shut off water supply, empty tank, disconnect supply line, remove mounting bolts, remove toilet, and plug the drain opening. Clean off old wax or putty at the base.

How to install the toilet seat?

Install the seat according to the manufacturer's instructions provided with the seat. The toilet manual does not detail this step, but do it after securing the toilet to the floor (step 7).

What to do if the fill valve leaks?

If the valve closes but leaks, repeat step 12 (clean the cap). If it opens and closes without use, check that the fill tube is properly attached to the overflow and that the flapper is not worn. Replace parts if necessary.

Where to find replacement parts?

Use quality Fluidmaster (compatible) parts. Visit www.fluidmaster.com or contact American Standard at the numbers provided. Common parts include wax ring, bolts, and flapper.

How to adjust the lift chain?

If the bowl does not empty, the chain may need adjustment. Remove the chain from the retaining clip, shorten it to remove slack, then reattach it to the lift rod. Ensure it is not too tight (step 9b).

NOTE: Distance from wall to closet flange centerline must be as listed below:

Model 2891 - BOULEVARD 1.28 gpf/ 4.8 Lpf

IMPORTANT: Water supply on the wall is required at 3-3/4" or 9" from centerline of the toilet (see rough-in). First suggested position is hidden behind the toilet. The geometry of the toilet gives space for this installation. The second suggested position is next to the toilet. Between these two positions, the space for the supply between wall and toilet is limited to 3-1/4". In this case, check your supply and hose dimensions.

INSTALL CLOSET BOLTS
Install closet bolts in flange channel, turn 90°, and slide into place 6" (152mm) apart and parallel to wall.

4

INSTALL WAX SEAL
Invert toilet on floor (cushion to prevent damage), and install wax ring evenly around waste flange (horn), with tapered end of ring facing toilet. Apply a thin bead of sealant around toilet base.

5

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!

6

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 bolt covers:

1. Make sure that the bolt cover area on the toilet is clean and dry (see figure). Use a dry piece of cloth or soap and water if needed.
2. Take plastic bolt cover and peel the brown protective film off on both ends. The adhesive part is now visible and ready to be placed on the toilet (see figure).
3. Gently place the bolt cover on the toilet area (see picture) and if everything is aligned, push bolt cover firmly so it remains in place.
4. If not aligned, you can still take it off and put it back so it is aligned.
5. Repeat Step 3 for second bolt cover which is to be placed on opposite side of the toilet.
6. After 24 hours, the bolt cover adhesive has completely set off and if needed, you can remove/replace as needed. The dual lock technology is now in place.

c. Smooth off the bead of sealant around base. Remove excess sealant.

7

INSTALL TOILET SEAT Install toilet seat in accordance with manufacturer's directions.

8a

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.

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.

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.

8b

With correct washers in place (see Step 8a), tighten COUPLING NUT 1/4 turn beyond hand tight.

DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

9

ADJUSTMENTS

a. Adjust water level. Water level should be adjusted to level indicated on tank by adjusting float cup.

See Step 10 for water level adjustment method.

b. If bowl fails to siphon, an adjustment may be required with the lift chain. Simply remove the bead chain from the retainment clip (see Fig. 9A) and take up slack on the chain, and reinsert on lift rod. Make sure the chain is not too taught.

CARE AND CLEANING

When cleaning your toilet, wash it with mild, soapy water, rinse thoroughly with clear water and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid detergents, disinfectants, or cleaning products in aerosol cans. NEVER use abrasive scouring powders or abrasive pads on your toilet seat. Some bathroom chemicals and cosmetics may damage the seat's finish.

WARNING: Do not use in-tank cleaners. Products containing chlorine (calcium hypochlorite) can seriously damage fittings in the tank. This damage can cause leakage and property damage. American Standard shall not be responsible or liable for any tank fitting damage caused by the use of cleaners containing chlorine (calcium hypochlorite).

12

IMPORTANT: Always clear sand and rust from system.

- Make sure water supply is off. Remove valve TOP by lifting arm and rotating top and arm 1/8 turn counterclockwise, pressing down slightly on cap.

- Replace TOP by engaging lugs and rotating 1/8 turn clockwise. MAKE CERTAIN TIP IS TURNED TO THE LOCKED POSITION. VALVE MAY NOT TURN ON IF TOP IS NOT FULLY TURNED TO THE LOCKED POSITION.

Always use quality Fluidmaster repair parts when maintaining your Fluidmaster products. Fluidmaster shall not be responsible or liable for any damages caused by products used with Fluidmaster valves that were not manufactured by Fluidmaster, Inc.

TROUBLESHOOTING

IF FILL VALVE SHUTS OFF BUT CONTINUES TO LEAK SLOWLY, repeat Step 12.

IF FILL VALVE TURNS OFF AND ON DURING PERIODS OF NON-USE, it is a signal you are wasting water because:

• The end of the refill tube is inserted into overflow pipe, below water level in tank. Attach refill tube to overflow pipe using "S" clip provided.
• The flush valve is leaking because it's worn, dirty or misaligned with tank ball or flapper (replace with a new flapper).

IF FILL VALVE WON'T TURN ON OR SHUT OFF or REFILL OF TANK WATER IS SLOW after valve has been in use for some time, Fluidmaster Model 242 Replacement Seal may be needed.
