Randolph Morris Brighton RMXR-0335 Manual

Tools and Materials Needed:
•
Toilet bowl
•
Toilet tank
•
Wax ring or waxless seal
•
Closet bolts (usually included with the toilet)
•
Adjustable wrench
•
Flathead screwdriver
•
Level
•
Plumber's tape (optional)
•
Silicone sealant (optional)
•
Bucket (for draining residual water from the old toilet, if applicable)
•
Rubber gloves (for sanitation purposes)
Installation Steps:
1. Prepare the Area:
•
Turn Off the Water Supply: Before starting, turn off the water supply to the toilet by turning
the valve clockwise.
•
Empty the Toilet Tank: Flush the toilet to empty the tank. Use a sponge or towel to soak up
any remaining water in the tank and bowl.
•
Remove the Old Toilet (if applicable): If replacing an existing toilet, disconnect the water
supply line, unscrew the bolts holding the toilet base, and carefully remove the toilet. Clean
the area around the flange and remove any old wax ring.
2. Install the Closet Bolts:
•
Insert the Closet Bolts: Place the closet bolts into the toilet flange (the opening where the
toilet sits). These bolts will secure the toilet to the floor once it's installed.
•
Check Bolt Positioning: Ensure that the bolts are positioned correctly and stand up straight,
ready to attach to the toilet base.
3. Install the Wax Ring or Seal:
•
Place the Wax Ring: Place the wax ring (or waxless seal, if using) on the toilet flange. Some
prefer to place it on the bottom of the toilet bowl's outlet pipe, while others place it directly
on the flange. Ensure it is centered and ready for the toilet's base.
4. Attach the Toilet Bowl:
•
Lift and Position the Toilet Bowl: Carefully lift the toilet bowl and position it over the closet
bolts, ensuring that the outlet pipe of the toilet is aligned with the flange. Gently lower the
toilet down, pressing it firmly into the wax ring to create a tight seal.
•
Secure the Toilet Bowl: Once the toilet bowl is in place, attach the nuts to the closet bolts
under the toilet. Tighten the nuts evenly and alternately to avoid cracking the toilet base. Do
not overtighten, as this can cause damage.
