Installation Instructions

BACK-TO-BACK INSTALLATION

Recommended fitting type for back-to-back installations.

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

BACK-TO-BACK INSTALLATION - Step 1

Press Firmly
BACK-TO-BACK INSTALLATION - Step 2

Apply Weight Evenly. Do Not Move After Placement. Water Tight Seal May Break.
BACK-TO-BACK INSTALLATION - Step 3

Hand Tighten Only. Do Not Overtighten.
BACK-TO-BACK INSTALLATION - Step 4

Tighten handles alternately until the tank contacts the front and back of the bowl achieving china-to-china contact.
BACK-TO-BACK INSTALLATION - Step 6
information NOTE: To ease installation, push down on the top of the tank while tightening handles.

Use Handle From Step 6
BACK-TO-BACK INSTALLATION - Step 7

Seat Adjustment
BACK-TO-BACK INSTALLATION - Step 9

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.

Adjust Water Level To Level Indicated On Tank By Turning Water Level Adjustment Knob To Move Float Cup Up Or Down.

Do not use in-tank cleaners. These products can seriously corrode fittings in the tank. This damage can cause leakage and property damage. American Standard shall not be responsible or liable for any damage caused by the use of in-tank cleaners.
