Do not install if you are unfamiliar with installing bathroom xtures. Signature Hardware accepts no liability for any
damage to the oor, walls, plumbing or for personal injury during installation.
TOOLS AND MATERIALS:
IMPORTANT
The water closet tank should be anchored to two wall studs. If the studs in the bathroom do not line up to the mounting
location for the water closet tank, wood blocking can be installed between the studs using standard 2 x 4’s. Wood
blocking needs to be installed behind the nished wall; we recommend consulting a professional if you are unfamiliar
with this type of installation.
Because wall construction and materials vary from home to home, Signature Hardware does not provide mounting
hardware for our high tank water closets. The appropriate mounting hardware can be purchased from your local
hardware store.
For the following installation instructions for your new water closet it is assumed that any old xtures have been removed
and any repairs to the water supply and/or toilet ange have been completed.
STANDARD BOWL INSTALLATION
1. To install the toilet bowl, press the new wax ring into place on the toilet ange on the oor with the at side down and
the tapered edge up. Apply enough pressure to hold the ring in place during installation, but be careful not to press it
out of shape.
2. Install the anchor bolts through the toilet ange. The anchor bolts should be pointing upwards so that when the toilet
is placed the bolts will project through the mounting holes on the base of the toilet.
3. When the wax ring and bolts are attached, lift the toilet and align the mounting holes with the anchor bolts on the
oor for proper placement. Set the toilet down on the oor and press in place to form a tight seal with the wax ring.
Do not move the toilet after placement; this could break the watertight seal and cause leakage.
4. Thread the washers and nuts onto the anchor bolts. Before tightening washers and nuts, verify that your toilet is
level. If the toilet is not level, place a shim under the base of the toilet and adjust as necessary.
