The provided documentation details installation instructions and warranty information for the Jacuzzi 1.6-gallon one-piece toilet. The materials primarily consist of excerpts from the installation manual and warranty details. This article summarizes the key steps for removing an old toilet, connecting the water supply, making adjustments, and accessing support resources. The documentation dates back to 2004, as indicated by copyright information.
Removing the Existing Toilet
Prior to installing a new Jacuzzi toilet, the existing toilet must be removed. The provided instructions outline a three-step process for this task. First, the water supply to the existing toilet must be turned off, followed by flushing the tank to empty it. Any remaining water in the tank or bowl should then be removed using a sponge and basin. Second, the supply line connecting to the toilet tank must be disconnected. Further details regarding subsequent steps in the removal process are not provided in the available documentation.
Water Connection Procedures
Connecting the water supply to the new Jacuzzi toilet requires specific procedures to ensure a proper seal and prevent debris from entering the system. Before connecting the supply line, it is recommended to flush the line into a bucket to remove any potential debris. The documentation specifies the use of a coupling nut, friction washer, and universal washer on the plain end of the supply tube. The universal washer is also used for the flanged slip-joint connection with a 1/2-inch fitting. The documentation does not specify the size of the plain end of the supply tube.
Refill Tube Adjustment
Proper adjustment of the refill tube is crucial for maintaining a full water seal in the bowl. The documentation emphasizes the importance of ensuring the refill tube is correctly inserted into the overflow pipe on the flush valve before making any other adjustments. Before operating the valve, the float cup should be filled. After filling the float cup, the water supply valve can be turned on. The documentation does not provide details on how to identify the overflow pipe or the float cup.
Warranty Information
Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath provides a limited warranty to the original consumer/purchaser, covering defects in material and workmanship. The specific warranty period is not detailed in the provided documentation. The warranty stipulates that Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath, at its discretion, will either repair or replace the defective product with a similar Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath product. However, the warranty explicitly states that Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath will not cover any costs associated with removing a previously installed product or the labor costs for either removal or re-installation. The documentation references BK83000 as a document number associated with the warranty information, dated 09/04.
Troubleshooting and Support
Should issues arise during installation or operation, Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath provides a Service Support Department for assistance. The contact number for this department is 1-800-288-4002. This number is provided for both installation-related problems and questions regarding operation or maintenance.

Owner’s Record
The documentation includes a section for the homeowner to record important information about their purchase. This section includes fields for the date of purchase, the store where the toilet was purchased, the installer’s name, the serial number, and the model number. Maintaining this record is recommended for warranty purposes and future reference.
General Installation Notes
The documentation emphasizes the importance of adhering to all local plumbing and building codes during installation. It also advises carefully inspecting the new toilet for any damage upon receipt. If the existing plumbing does not include a supply shut-off valve below the tank, the documentation states that one must be installed before proceeding with the new toilet installation.
