Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified tradesperson in accordance with local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the water supply and flush the toilet to relieve line pressure before disconnecting the existing connector. Hand-tighten the nuts to achieve a proper seal; avoid over-torquing brass nuts, which can crack the fitting or distort the washer seat. Inspect the connection for leaks after restoring water supply pressure.
