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.
