DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Use with wax gaskets to install water closets.
1) Remove wrapper of wax ring.
2) With bowl upside down on a protective pad, place wax ring, flat
edge and plastic horn (if applicable) facing away from toilet base,
in recessed groove around opening.
3) Press wax ring firmly into place to assure adhesion when bowl is
inverted.
4) Slide bolts into slots on either side of the waste line flange.
If using johni quick bolts: After sliding bolts into slots on either
side of the waste line flange, hold gold-colored plastic “washer”
over bolt and press down firmly (no need to screw on). Then, just
turn and tighten to hold bolt secure (gold-colored plastic “washer”
can also be placed on bolt before bolt is inserted into flange).
5) Carefully set toilet bottom outlet on waste flange with bolts
extending through holes in base of toilet. Press down firmly and
twist bowl slightly to compress wax. When the base of the toilet is
in uniform contact with the floor, place washer and nut on each
bolt and tighten lightly. Do not over-tighten, as porcelain may
crack. Nuts can always be retightened if bowl begins to wobble
after a period of use. Replace decorative caps. (Wax rings work
best at room temperature.)
This product is defined as an “article” and is not classified as
hazardous in accordance with OSHA 1910.1200.
