INSTALL TANK
Make sure the three tank bolts extend completely through
the holes in the gasket. Set the tank onto the bowl, using
the tank bolts as a guide. Center the gasket on the inlet
of the bowl. Assemble the washers and brass nuts onto
the bolts.
Alternately tighten the three brass nuts so the top of the
tank and the top of the bowl are both level. Be sure the
brass nuts are tight enough to achieve a watertight seal.
CAUTION: Risk
Overtightening may cause breakage or chipping of
the vitreous china bowl or tank.
CONNECT SUPPLY SHUT-OFF VALVE
NOTICE: Read this section carefully before performing
these steps.
For installation of the supply shut-off valve, refer to the
installation instructions packed with the valve. Carefully
bend the tubing to fit.
Cut the end of the tubing 1/4" longer than the distance be-
tween the supply shut-off valve and the supply shank. Re-
move any burrs from the inside of the tubing.
Slip the coupling nut, compression nut, and ferrule onto
the tubing. Insert the tubing into the supply shut-off valve
and the supply shank, positioning the seal washer
(supplied) or the compression washer (not supplied), as
shown. Handtighten the coupling nut, and then tighten the
compression nut.
WARNING: Risk of property damage. Do not
overtighten any of these nuts, or you may deform
connections and cause leakage. Do not use tools
to tighten plastic nuts.

CHECK FOR LEAKS

Turn on the shut-off valve, and check for leaks. If the
connections are squarely assembled, a slight re-tighten-
ing of the nuts will stop any leaks. Check all connections
for leaks for several days. The nuts under the bolt caps
may also require retightening.
