This document provides installation instructions for American Standard Afwall flush valves and wall-mounted toilets, specifically models 3351, 3352, 3353, 3354, 2257.001, 2633.100, and 2634.001. The instructions emphasize the importance of adhering to local codes and recommend professional assistance for certain installations. The product is designed to meet American Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines and ANSI A117.1 requirements for physically challenged individuals.
Installation Considerations and Safety
The documentation cautions that the product is fragile and recommends two people for handling to prevent breakage and potential injury. Proper operation requires a minimum of 30 psi working line pressure. Installation may necessitate a closet carrier support, putty knife, regular screwdriver, and adjustable wrench. The documentation notes that pictures may not exactly define the contour of the china. A 1" N.P.T. or C.W.T. supply is required, but is not furnished with the product.
Dimensional Specifications and Rough-In Information
Detailed dimensional specifications are provided to aid in proper installation. Finished wall height is 660mm (26"). The center line of the seat post holes is located 330mm (13") from the finished floor. Hole spacing is 140mm (5-1/2") on center. For walls up to 1" in thickness, the measurements shown are applicable. For each additional inch of wall thickness, 25mm (1") should be added to the measurement.
The documentation specifies hole diameters for various components. A 38mm (1-1/2") diameter hole is required in the wall for a 1-1/2" spud. The center line of the seat post holes is 19mm (3/4") from the finished wall. The documentation provides multiple center line measurements for the outlet, including 121mm (4-3/4") and 254mm (10").
Finished floor to the top of the seat should be between 17" and 19" (432mm to 483mm). The documentation includes diagrams illustrating the placement of holes and components relative to the finished wall and floor. Specific dimensions are provided for the vacuum breaker and various hole placements.
Supply and Outlet Connections
The installation requires a 1" C.W.T. or N.P.T. supply, which is not furnished with the product. The documentation details the location of the outlet and the necessary connections for the waste outlet piping, referencing instructions supplied with the wall carrier. The documentation specifies the use of sealant where appropriate.
Hole Requirements and Wall Thickness Adjustments
The documentation provides specific instructions for adjusting measurements based on wall thickness. For walls exceeding 1" in thickness, an additional 25mm (1") must be added to the measurements shown for each additional inch of wall thickness. This adjustment ensures proper alignment and functionality of the installed toilet.
Component Hole Specifications
The documentation details the size and placement of holes required for installation. This includes a 38mm (1-1/2") diameter hole for the 1-1/2" spud and a 76mm (3") diameter hole for the 1-1/2" spud. Four 22mm (7/8") diameter holes are required in specific locations, as illustrated in the provided diagrams.
Seat Post and Outlet Centerlines
Precise centerline measurements are provided for the seat post and outlet. The centerline of the seat post holes is 140mm (5-1/2") apart. The documentation provides multiple centerline measurements for the outlet, including 356mm (14") and 432mm (17"). These measurements are crucial for ensuring proper alignment and functionality.
Additional Notes and Trademarks
The documentation notes that product names listed are trademarks of AS America, Inc. and that the document is copyrighted by AS America, Inc. in 2010. It reiterates the importance of consulting the instructions supplied with the wall carrier for proper installation of the 4-bolt support system and for obtaining waste outlet piping rough-in information.
Conclusion
The provided documentation outlines the installation process for American Standard Afwall flush valves and wall-mounted toilets. Key considerations include ensuring adequate working line pressure (minimum 30 psi), handling the product with care due to its fragility, and adhering to local building codes. Precise dimensional specifications and hole requirements are provided to facilitate accurate installation. Users are advised to consult the instructions accompanying the wall carrier for additional support and rough-in information.
