Toilet Components

Installation

Tools Required

• Standard screwdriver
• Drill
• 2 1/4" hole saw
• Hammer
• Roofing nails

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 BioLet

•
Check with your local health authorities and building inspector for regulations governing the installation of your
BioLet.
•
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 there is 22" in front of toilet to accommodate removal of the tray.
•
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 there is a grounded 110 VAC outlet within 5' of the toilet.
•
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.
