Installation
Tools Required
• 5/16" nut driver or socket
• Phillips screwdriver
• Drill
• 2 1/2" hole saw
• 1 1/4" drill bit/hole saw
• Jig saw, sawzall, or keyhole saw
• Hammer
Precautions
Always wear goggles and protective clothing while operating hand and power tools.
•
Observe all precautions and operating instructions provided by the tool manufacturer.
•
Ensure there are no electrical wires, water pipes or gas pipes in the area you are cutting or drilling
•
Before installing your BTS 33
Check with your local health authorities and building inspector for regulations governing the installation of your
•
BTS 33.
Ensure there is generous air flow into the bathroom. A 1" gap under the bathroom door or a vent in the wall will
•
ensure sufficient airflow to the toilet. Overhead vents and open windows should be used with caution as these
may cause a negative pressure in the room and promote a back draft into the room through the toilet causing the
presence of an unpleasant odor.
Ensure the temperature in the room where the toilet is to be installed can be maintained above 64°F during
•
periods while the toilet is being used.
Ensure the floor under the toilet is level and insulated or heated.
•
Ensure the vent pipe will be able to extend at least 6" above anything within 10' of it or above the peak of the roof
•
whenever possible. (See the "Installation" and "Theory of composting toilets; maintaining aeration" sections
below)
Ensure your installation can be achieved with the addition of no more than 2 – 45° angles.
•
Verify that the total run for the vent pipe is less than 30' in a straight up installation or 27' if 2 – 45° angles are
•
required. Consult with BioLet Toilet Systems technical support if a longer run is required.
Installation of the vent pipe is CRITICAL to the operation of your BTS 33 Toilet System. If you must vary the
installation from these instructions in ANY WAY, please contact technical support at 1-800-524-6538 PRIOR to
installation.
